Mechbase

Condition monitoring and inspections in one platform. Sensor streams and field routes attach to the same asset, so every machine carries a single health state, with its severity and the date it last changed.

Mechbase

Two streams. One record.

Every asset is monitored two ways. MaintNode sensors stream vibration, temperature and process values continuously. Technicians walk scheduled routes on the native iOS and Android apps or the WearDC portable, capturing readings, photos and non-conformities offline.

Both attach to the same asset. Both move the same health state. Both land in the same dated activity log, so a waveform from the night shift and an inspection note from the morning form one record.

An asset in Mechbase carrying a single health state

One health state per asset. Computed, not assigned.

Every asset sits in one of four health states. Mechbase computes the state from measurements and inspections, then timestamps every change. You never set one by hand, so the Critical count is a live work list, and every figure traces back to a dated reading.

Nominal

Within normal limits.

Check

Early deviation. Review.

Warning

Degrading. Schedule work.

Critical

Immediate action.

The Needs Attention work list

Needs Attention is the prioritised work list.

The dated recent activity feed

Recent activity is the dated record of every state change.

Key Benefits

Mechbase key benefit

Vibration, ultrasound, current, voltage and pressure, each processed for the fault signatures that matter, not just a threshold check. Every reading keeps the full signal: waveform, spectrum, envelope and the standard scalars (RMS, crest factor, peak-to-peak, true peak), and the raw data is available to export for your own analysis.

Measure how equipment runs and capture its true operating hours, alongside the condition data rather than in a separate tool.

Review exactly what the machine did on either side of an alarm, reading by reading, with every timestamp intact.

A breach automatically raises a non-conformity against the equipment, with the triggering readings attached, so each decision is backed by data rather than guesswork.

Your team keeps the systems it already uses. Mechbase syncs to your CMMS in the background, so condition findings become work orders where planning already happens.

From site health down to the waveform

The hierarchy is five levels: Installation, Section, Zone, Asset, Measurement point. Drill from whole-site health to the individual point that moved an asset, the trend behind the change, and the raw waveform behind any reading.

Alarms that learn the machine

On a machine whose speed and load vary, a single vibration limit cannot tell a faster run from a fault. Raise it to stop the nuisance trips and you go blind to the early ones.

Mechbase learns each machine's normal operating modes from its own healthy data, keyed on shaft frequency, then builds a per-peak limit envelope for every mode that follows the shape of the healthy spectrum.

It watches the shape, not just the level. When one band rises, a bearing or gear-mesh frequency lifting while the rest of the spectrum holds, it raises an early flag well before the overall velocity reaches a conventional alarm. The frequency that breached points at the likely cause: bearing races, imbalance at running speed, looseness as a run-speed series.

Detection, with a head start on diagnosis.

Per-peak limit envelope on a real machine: a narrowband peak breaches its learned baseline and raises an early status while the overall velocity is still below the alarm bands

A narrowband peak breaches its learned baseline and raises an early status, weeks before the overall velocity climbs into the alarm bands.

Integrates with what you already run

Mechbase exposes a REST API. A limit breach pushes a work order into your CMMS or ERP automatically. It ingests Modbus and OPC-UA and publishes over MQTT, integrating with your existing systems rather than adding another data silo.

Instrument capture, not data entry

Most inspection software records what someone typed. The Mechbase field apps capture live instrument data. Native iOS and Android, offline-first: routes run with no connectivity and sync on reconnection. Pair a FLIR camera for live thermal imaging with automatic hotspot detection, or a Bluetooth accelerometer for a full vibration signature at the machine. Every capture attaches to the same measurement points and trends as the fixed sensors.

Caught before it failed

The evidence is in the dates. One asset, one trail read straight from the activity log, with no edits and no hindsight.

Check 20 Apr 2026 a narrowband peak near 155 Hz rose above its learned baseline while the overall velocity was still nominal.
Warning 27 Apr 2026 the same peak kept growing under load and the overall velocity crossed the 4.5 mm/s band.
Critical 13 May 2026 the overall velocity reached the 7.1 mm/s alarm band.
Lead time ~3 weeks The first flag landed nearly three weeks before the alarm band. That is the window a planner needs to fix it on a scheduled stop, not on a breakdown.

Built on twenty years inside industrial plants, running today across power, oil and gas, food and beverage, heavy industry, recycling and maritime.

Run the plant on evidence, not on the calendar

Every asset carries a live health state, computed from the data and the route, with the trail that got it there. That is the difference between planning the fix and reacting to the failure.
