Pinetek Sense:
Condition Monitoring for Pumps and Rotating Equipment
Condition monitoring with Pinetek Sense enables continuous monitoring of the condition of pumps and other rotating machinery. By collecting and analyzing operational data, damage can be detected early on. This helps reduce unplanned machine downtime and allows for targeted maintenance planning.
CONDITION MONITORING FOR ROTATING MACHINERY
Want to avoid downtime?
Identify risks early.
When it comes to monitoring critical rotating machinery, nothing should be left to chance. With Pinetek Sense, we help ensure that your machines are always up and running. Through targeted maintenance and maintenance intervals tailored to your needs, you can reduce unplanned downtime and optimize maintenance costs over the long term.
IN A NUTSHELL
Pinetek Sense continuously monitors your machines and uses AI to learn from the operational data. If any unusual changes are detected, you will automatically receive an alert.
Our technology partners
Hauber Elektronik, our sensor partner, serves the automotive, rail, power plant, and pharmaceutical industries.
The MultiViz technology from our partner, Viking Analytics, is used by industrial companies worldwide, ranging from large corporations to medium-sized manufacturing firms.
For rotating machinery: pumps, motors, fans, and more
Pinetek Sense is compatible with a wide range of rotating equipment that has bearings, regardless of size, brand, or age. If it spins, we can monitor it.
Pumps
Centrifugal & Positive-Displacement Pumps
Motors
Asynchronous & Synchronous Motors
Fans
Radial and Axial Fans
Compressors
Radial and Axial Compressors
Gears
Spur Gear & Planetary Gear Sets
Conveyors
Belt & Roller Drives
What you need to get started: a mounting point near the bearing, 24V DC, and network access (Ethernet or Wifi). No changes to your PLC or other controls are required.
Case Studies from Our Technology Partner, Viking Analytics
Elkem
Up to €100,000 in daily losses avoided
Timely detection of bearing damage on an exhaust fan prevented a production outage that would have posed an environmental risk.
Nicolaides / CMPC Laja
$65,000 per outage avoided
The automatic prioritization of 160 sensors allowed for early intervention on critical equipment, preventing environmental risks.
Machinery Institute
Over $200,000 in avoided damage
Behavior-based vibration analysis simultaneously detected a drive fault and incipient bearing damage on a critical piece of equipment, preventing two days of downtime.

One Solution, One Partner: Pinetek Sense
Pinetek Sense is a fully integrated system consisting of sensors, a gateway, the MultiViz portal, integrated and supported by Pinetek Networks, your single point of contact.
1 · MACHINE
Hauber HE055 Sensors
1D-vibration sensor with frequency range 10–12,000 Hz, IP66/67. Mounting option with magnet available. Existing IO-Link-compatible vibration sensors can also be connected. Simultaneous output of analog and IO-Link signals is possible.
2 · EDGE
Pinebox Smart Gateway
The Pinebox, running Pinetek Sense software, records the measurement data and securely transmits it to MultiViz via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or, optionally, 4G/5G. Up to 4 sensors can be connected per Pinebox (HE055 or, for example, sensors for power consumption, flow, and temperature).
The Pinebox buffers data in case of upload issues.
3 · CLOUD
MultiViz
The MultiViz portal detects, diagnoses, and predicts faults, and alerts your team based on priority, e.g., via email. Additional measurement values can be recorded and displayed (e.g., RMS values from the HE055 or sensor values such as current consumption, flow rate, and temperature). The data is processed on European servers in accordance with GDPR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pinetek Sense is suitable for a wide range of rotating machinery, such as pumps, motors, fans, compressors, gearboxes, and conveyor drives. We determine whether a specific system is suitable by evaluating the machine and the potential measurement point.
No. The sensor system is used independently of the existing machine control system.
MultiViz learns the specific operating behavior of the monitored machine and detects any relevant deviations from it.
Machine statuses and trends are available on the MultiViz Portal. In addition, automatic notifications and regular status reports can be provided.
Wired sensors do not require battery replacement and are immune to radio interference in industrial environments. This reduces maintenance requirements and operating costs compared to wireless solutions. Wired sensors can transmit measurement data to our portal at shorter intervals.
Pinetek Sense costs are based on the purchase of the hardware plus an annual portal fee, not on a traditional subscription. This significantly reduces the total cost over several years, there is no multi-year commitment, and the system can be expanded at any time to include additional measurement points or sensors without requiring a new contract.
Yes. Prioritized cases can also be evaluated by CAT-III/CAT-IV vibration analysts as a on-demand service.
