Abstract: A sensor module for obtaining sensor data relevant to a piece of equipment. The sensor module comprises a housing including a base. The base includes a mounting assembly for securing the sensor module to the piece of equipment. The sensor module additionally comprises a processing assembly at least partially enclosed within an interior space presented by the housing. The processing assembly includes a first temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the interior space of the housing. The processing assembly additionally includes a second temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature external to the housing. The processing assembly additionally includes a vibration sensor configured to measure vibrations experienced by the sensor module. The processing assembly further includes a communication element for wirelessly transmitting the sensor data.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring health of equipment. One step of the method includes securing a plurality of sensor modules on to a plurality of pieces of equipment. Each sensor module is secured on to a separate piece of equipment. An additional step includes generating, by each sensor module, sensor data related to the piece of equipment on to which the sensor module is secured. The sensor data includes vibration data for the piece of equipment, temperature data for the piece of equipment, and temperature data for a location exterior to the piece of equipment. An additional step includes processing, by each sensor module, the sensor data generated by the sensor module into a data packet, with the data packet including the sensor data. An additional step includes transmitting the data packet from each sensor module to a gateway over a local communications network. A further step includes transmitting the sensor data from the gateway to a server device.

Abstract: A data acquisition device that can be coupled with any motor, even those already in service, to automatically monitor the operation of the motor and provide alerts when the motor is in need of repair or replacement. The data acquisition device senses conditions of the motor and transmits sensor data to a computer system or other remote monitoring device so that the remote monitoring device can determine if the motor needs to be repaired or replaced. The data acquisition device also acquires location data and sends it to the remote monitoring device so that a technician or other person can quickly locate the motor.
