Many industrial companies want to transition to reliable condition monitoring but face barriers such as high upfront costs, complex hardware investments, or a lack of internal data analysts. With Wi-care As A Service (WaaS), you can bypass these challenges entirely. This unique model transforms predictive maintenance from a complex capital expenditure (CapEx) into a transparent, operational service (OpEx). Instead of purchasing sensors, you subscribe to machine reliability and actionable insights.
How it Works in Practice
The WaaS concept is designed to fully support and relieve your maintenance team. The process involves a continuous cycle of hardware deployment, data analysis, and targeted action:
- Zero Hardware Investment: I-care provides the advanced Wi-care wireless vibration and temperature sensors completely as part of the service. You do not need to allocate budget for purchasing expensive measurement equipment.
- Full Installation and Configuration: Our field engineers come on-site to optimally position the sensors on your critical assets using the appropriate mounting studs. We also install the corresponding industrial gateways for seamless, wireless data transmission.
- Continuous Management & Updates: Sensor maintenance, battery replacements, and firmware updates are fully included. The hardware remains up-to-date and operational throughout the entire contract duration at no extra cost.
- Expert Data Analysis: The collected data is sent via secure networks to the I-care Cloud platform. Here, certified vibration analysts (ISO CAT II/III/IV) continuously monitor your machinery. They filter out the noise and translate raw data into concrete maintenance recommendations.
Immediate Results Without Operational Hassle
With WaaS, you instantly onboard a team of experts dedicated to monitoring your plant’s health. Instead of forcing your team to decipher complex graphs and raw fault data, your maintenance department receives actionable reports directly through the I-care dashboard. The reports specify exactly which machine needs attention, what the underlying issue is (such as bearing damage, imbalance, or misalignment), and the timeframe in which the repair should be executed.
This approach enables you to effectively eliminate unplanned downtime, extend the lifespan of your assets, and schedule maintenance tasks tightly during regular, planned stops. Wi-care As A Service offers the ultimate shortcut to a predictable, safe, and highly efficient production environment.
