Running on an on-site PC, infiSYS 3.0 allows users to monitor equipment locally as well as remotely access condition data anytime, anywhere through standard web browsers within a connected network—without the need for additional client software.
Equipped with intuitive diagnostic features that visually highlight early signs of vibration anomalies and versatile data integration capabilities, infiSYS 3.0 empowers maintenance teams to implement proactive practices that enhance reliability, efficiency, and long-term operational sustainability.

infiSYS 3.0 － Solution Highlights

Detecting Early Abnormal Signs Through Online Monitoring and Analysis

Solve challenges with trend monitoring and analysis functions!

With continuous monitoring and analysis, you can track equipment trends, detect early signs of abnormalities, and identify root causes—making it easier to schedule and plan maintenance at the right time.
In addition, using scheduled measurements and report files helps improve work efficiency and quality while significantly reducing the time required for patrol inspections.

Enabling Proactive Trouble Prevention and Rapid Recovery

Achieve this with alarm and email notification functions!

When abnormalities are detected, real-time alarm notifications are sent to the relevant personnel for having a quick insight into machine condition that helps prevent unexpected shutdowns and enables a quick and effective recovery.

Seamless Integration with Existing Systems, Sensors, and Data

Achieve this with data communication functions!

Using Modbus communication, data can be collected from existing systems and sensors for continuous monitoring. In addition, integration with other systems enables more advanced monitoring and analysis.

Reducing Operators’ Workload

Achieve this with our remote diagnostic service “infiSYS V-Assist”!

If you can’t identify the cause of machine vibration, experts of our “infiSYS V-Assist” can support you remotely, by monitoring and analyzing your measurement data and providing diagnostic reports on your behalf, helping you find a solution.

Function briefs

In this application, using the same wireless vibration sensor ‘ZARK Nano’ as the on-premises rotating machinery condition monitoring system infiSYS 3.0 integrated with the ZARK X8II gateway, and the measured data stored in ZARK Nano can be collected and uploaded to infiSYS 3.0 (installed with the patrol inspection option) using ZARK NI mobile app during routine patrol inspections.
 
Customers can benefit from the following aspects:

  1. Obtain more frequent and higher quality measurement data for better monitoring of machine conditions.
  2. Improve the safety of conventional patrol inspection operations by collecting measurement data away from ZARK Nano via Bluetooth communication.
  3. Reduce initial costs by eliminating the need for deploying the ZARK X8II gateway and on-site Wi-Fi infrastructure.
  4. Confirm the machine conditions with the live trend and spectrum functions of ZARK NI at on-site.

 
Furthermore, the system can also meet customers’ needs when they are ready to switch to automated data collection mode by deploying the ZARK X8II gateway as well as an on-site Wi-Fi infrastructure in future.
