In a leap forward for structural monitoring, Worldsensing proudly unveils its newest wireless marvel—the Vibration Meter. This cutting-edge device, armed with a tri-axial accelerometer, goes beyond just measuring vibrations; it offers a longer battery life, wider communication range, and a more budget-friendly tag compared to its peers.
Engineered with precision, the Vibration Meter steps up to assist engineering firms in meeting demanding building integrity regulations like the German DIN 4140-3 standard, British BS 7385-2, and ISO 2631-2—specifically addressing how vibrations affect people. Its arrival is perfectly timed as industries facing heightened regulatory scrutiny, such as construction, mining, and off-highway operations, now prioritize safeguarding both building stability and the peace of communities living in the vicinity.
Andrea Bartoli, the Chief Technology Officer at Worldsensing, brings a human touch to the narrative, stating, “With extreme weather events affecting communities worldwide, it’s vital that our infrastructure remains steadfast. Our Vibration Meter is more than just a device; it’s a giant stride towards better protection. By intensifying vibration monitoring, we empower the engineering community to champion environmental and community well-being in every project they undertake.”
Behind the scenes, the Vibration Meter employs an advanced algorithm to detect breaches in threshold parameters such as Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) and vibration frequency. Operating at an impressive 1000MHz, this device becomes the silent guardian, continuously gathering on-site data. This data is then seamlessly communicated via a cellular gateway to the management tools of engineering providers, all made possible by leveraging Worldsensing’s Long Range (LoRa) 15km antenna, ensuring compatibility with other devices within the Worldsensing ecosystem.
The Vibration Meter doesn’t just stop at technical prowess—it has a heart too. With a user-replaceable D-size battery, it promises a lifespan of up to two years with a 30-minute reporting cycle. Designed to brave the elements, it functions seamlessly across temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C.
Worldsensing, already boasting a network of over 3,000 deployed systems and 170,000 active monitoring devices facilitating real-time data acquisition globally, adds a touch of humanity to its portfolio with the introduction of the Vibration Meter—a testament to its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of industrial vibration monitoring with a touch of care and innovation.
