Vibration-Based Predictive Maintenance for Rotating Equipment.

Vibera is predictive maintenance software for rotating equipment that diagnoses faults from vibration data and estimates remaining useful life.

Video transcript

Meet Vikram, a maintenance engineer at a plant in India. Six rotating machines, each producing vibration data. Which one will fail next? Siemens found that unplanned downtime costs the world's 500 biggest companies 11 percent of their revenues. Waiting for a failure is costly, and guessing which machine to service is no better. Then he opens Vibera by aQb Solutions, an AI predictive maintenance copilot for rotating equipment. Every asset is ranked by maintenance priority, with its vibration zone, health score and remaining life. Open an asset to see its vibration trend, spectrum and bearing envelope, with the diagnosis. Ask the copilot which assets need attention, and it ranks them, with evidence. Ask for a diagnosis, and it explains the fault and the remaining life range. Compare an asset before and after maintenance, to see whether the fix worked. Then it raises work orders for the priority assets, ready to connect to your maintenance system. Vibera finds the fault. Vikram plans the repair. The fleet shown is simulated. Predict the failure. Plan the repair. Protect uptime.

Vibera by aQb Solutions is an AI predictive maintenance copilot for rotating equipment that diagnoses bearing and shaft faults from vibration data, estimates remaining life and raises work orders. Fix it before it fails: it reads vibration and condition data, ranks every asset by maintenance priority, diagnoses the fault, estimates the remaining useful life and raises the work order. The AI explains, while the physics comes from deterministic analysis, so every number traces back to a tool call you can see. The fleet shown is simulated.

What it does

Fleet health ranking

Every asset gets a vibration zone, health score, remaining useful life and priority, so the fleet is ranked by what needs maintenance first.

Sensor and condition data intake

Load asset details, daily condition history and vibration waveforms exported from your sensors or condition-monitoring system. Live feeds from sensors and historians are scoped for each deployment.

Vibration analysis and anomaly detection

Trend, velocity spectrum and envelope spectrum show the fault frequencies behind a rising reading, and machine-learning anomaly detection compares each asset with its own healthy baseline.

Fault diagnosis

Rules separate imbalance, misalignment and bearing race, ball and cage defects, and show the evidence behind each call.

Remaining useful life

A degradation forecast extrapolates to the failure limit and gives the remaining life as a range, and it says so when there is no trend.

Work orders and maintenance integration

Priority assets get corrective actions and work orders in the built-in register, ready to connect to your maintenance system, such as SAP PM or IBM Maximo, as part of integration.

Key Questions Answered

01 / 04

Which machinery, sensors and data formats are supported?

Rotating equipment such as pumps, gearboxes and compressors, with faults including imbalance, misalignment and bearing race, ball and cage defects. Input is asset details, daily condition history and vibration waveforms exported from your sensors or condition-monitoring system. Sampling and operating-condition needs are confirmed on your own data.
