Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance — Discrete Manufacturing

Your machines are talking.
Most plants aren't listening.

Gearcadence reads vibration, temperature, and current data from your equipment — and tells you exactly which machine will fail, and when.

Capabilities

What Gearcadence does on your floor

Vibration Signature Analysis

Identifies bearing defects, imbalance, and misalignment from raw accelerometer data — no manual FFT required.

Thermal & Current Monitoring

Correlates motor current draw with thermal signatures to detect winding degradation before it trips a breaker.

Gear Mesh Fault Detection

Frequency-domain analysis flags gear tooth wear, pitting, and mesh irregularities specific to your gearbox geometry.

Prioritised Alert Queue

Not every anomaly is urgent. Gearcadence scores by criticality, expected time-to-failure, and production impact.

Work Order Integration

Pushes alerts directly to your CMMS via REST webhook, SAP PM-compatible RFC, or CSV export — no transcription from dashboard to clipboard to work order.

Fleet Health Dashboard

Per-machine health scores, vibration trend charts, and MTBF tracking across your floor — shift by shift. When five machines show rising bearing temperatures in the same week, that's a lubrication problem, not five individual events.

Deployment

Deploy in a day. Know your machines in a week.

01
Mount & Connect

Clip-on accelerometers and current clamps — no machine downtime to install.

02
Baseline

Gearcadence learns normal operating signatures for each machine over 5–7 days.

03
Detect

Bearing defect frequencies, GMF sidebands, impulse energy shifts — evaluated continuously against each machine's learned baseline.

04
Act

Prioritised alerts routed to maintenance queue, CMMS, or email/SMS.

"We caught a failing spindle bearing on our turning center six days before it would have seized. That's three shifts of production saved — and a part we ordered standard lead time instead of overnight freight."
