Wireless condition monitoring for rotating equipment
Detect change before it becomes downtime.
Argus monitors vibration and temperature at the machine, learns its normal operating patterns and flags persistent changes for review. Your team gets an early, clear signal to inspect, plan and act.
Unplanned downtime is expensive by the hour.

Compact sensor. Built for industrial monitoring.
A sealed, battery-powered node mounts directly on the machine by magnet or thread. It measures and analyses locally, then reports only the condition information your team needs.
- Machine-side sensingVibration and temperature measured directly on the monitored equipment.
- On-device analysisTracks change against the machine's commissioned baseline.
- Low-power, long-range wirelessDesigned for site-wide coverage with low power use.
- Flexible installationMagnetic or threaded mounting, with no power or signal cables.
From measurement to maintenance decision.
Argus processes each measurement on the sensor and sends a compact health result to the system you choose.
Argus Node
On the deviceaMeasure
Captures vibration and temperature at the machine.
bAnalyse
Extracts condition indicators from the raw signal.
- Commissioned baseline
cCompare
Checks them against the baseline established for this machine.
- 96
dScore
Combines the evidence into a clear health score.
Raw vibration data remains on the device. Sending only the health result reduces wireless traffic and power use.
Gateway
A site gateway receives compact health updates from every installed node over a low-power, long-range wireless link.

Pilot programme for industrial sites
Start with one critical machine.
We select the measurement point, install Argus and commission it for the machine's normal operating conditions. You review the results with our engineers, then decide where the system should expand.
You work directly with the engineers developing Argus.
What the pilot includes
- Installation and commissioningWe select the measurement points, install the nodes and establish a baseline for normal operation.
- A machine-specific baselineArgus learns the normal patterns observed across operating conditions before operational alerts are enabled.
- Actionable condition alertsWhen a change persists, Argus recommends an inspection and shows the condition trend.
- Integration optionsUse Argus Cloud, deploy on premises or feed health results into your SCADA and MES.
Designed for motors, pumps, compressors, fans, conveyors and gearboxes in continuous-production environments.
