High temperature

The IoT HUB enables reliable sensor monitoring in extreme heat environments by allowing sensors to be wired and positioned directly on high-temperature assets. You can confidently collect data from machines operating under intense thermal conditions without compromising sensor performance or safety.

Intermittent Equipment

In triggered machines, such as robots, Cranes, and Lifts, the IoT HUB can be configured to activate sensors in response to unique movement patterns. This allows for more focused data collection as opposed to more traditional continuous asset health monitoring.

Shielded machines

Assets in shielded areas, such as those covered by metal or screening, pose an issue where wireless sensors struggle to connect to the network. The IoT HUB provides a wired solution for monitoring these machines.

Designed to handle complex asset health monitoring needs

Signal propagation + -

To instrument a large asset we might have many vibration sensors that have weak wireless signal strength due to location. With the HUB however, the sensor is decoupled from the wireless module, so you can put many sensors exactly where you want them, and then put the single HUB in a better place for wireless connectivity. This also opens the door for submerged applications.

Mix of sensor types + -

Often the right monitoring solution for an asset is a mix of sensor types—vibration, temperature, pressure, current, MCSA, Ultrasonic, etc. The IoT HUB makes managing multiple sensor types easy for you and your team to create a single pane of glass for all asset and sensor types.

Intermittent operation + -

If the machine is intermittently operated, or has a complex cycle that changes, and we want to collect data at a particular moment in that cycle where damage may occur, using a HUB is critical. The HUB connects to PLC's to enable triggering, and once it sees it, it collects a measurement. That way, you’re always collecting data at the same moment in the operating cycle.

Synchronous data collection + -

The IoT HUB features triggered data collection, and because it has multiple input ports, this means we can accurately time-synchronize samples from multiple monitoring points. With the HUB, we can take them all at the same time or at delayed times of our choosing. This opens the door for things like phase analysis and orbital plots.

High temperature + -

The IoT HUB’s vibration sensors are built to withstand hotter temperatures than other vibration sensors, primarily because they do not have a battery onboard, so they aren’t limited by a battery’s temperature rating.

Prevent Lubrication Loss and Equipment Failures

Oil Humidity Sensor

Oil humidity is one of the many monitoring capabilities seamlessly integrated into KCF’s Comprehensive Machine Health Monitoring Platform.

KCF’s Oil Humidity Sensor provides real-time monitoring of water contamination in oil, preventing lubrication loss, corrosion, and machine failure. By tracking humidity fluctuations and correlating them with process changes, it helps identify root causes of water ingress—whether from leaks or environmental exposure.

Additionally, the IFM LDF-100 measures oil temperature, detecting late-stage gear wear for proactive maintenance.

Precision Speed Monitoring for Variable Assets

Tachometers

Enhance your vibration monitoring capabilities for variable speed assets in your plant using two tachometer sensor options – inductive and optical.

Variable speed assets, such as paper machines and conveyors, can be challenging to monitor due to constantly changing conditions. Trending running speed data in real-time with vibration data gives a clearer picture into the health of your assets. By using tachometers alongside wireless vibration sensors, clear connections between running speed and vibration can be made, giving operators the power to know the optimal conditions for throughput and machine health and allowing structural resonances to be addressed.

Inductive Tachometer

Inductive is best suited for equipment that may be running in dirtier environments. In addition, it must be mounted very close to the shaft.

Optical Tachometer

Optical is best suited for machines that remain relatively clean. In addition, it is useful in places where mounting directly next to the shaft is not possible.
