Petasense is a Silicon Valley IIoT company focused on wireless vibration and temperature sensors with cloud-based asset reliability analytics. The Vibration Mote Model 4 (VM4) is a 4th-generation wireless sensor for motors, pumps, compressors, and fans, with sensors purchased outright. Each sensor is factory-calibrated at 15+ frequencies, a data quality emphasis that gives users confidence in the underlying measurement.
The ARO Cloud platform analyzes sensor data using machine learning to provide asset health scores, trend analysis, and anomaly alerts. The open API enables integration with any CMMS or EAM system.
Petasense is a focused vibration specialist rather than a full OEE or production monitoring platform.
Platform fit rated by sector and use case.
Accessible pricing with purchased hardware and open API make Petasense well-suited for mid-market reliability programs.
Factory-calibrated sensors at 15+ frequencies deliver measurement quality that consumer-grade sensors cannot match.
Petasense is a rotating equipment health platform; production monitoring requires supplemental solution.
