maintenance also may help ensure that machinery is safe, which can Protocols
assist in maintaining the health of workers and equipment users.
Inblay Technology, a Mexican company that designs, develops and
deploys industrial enhancement systems, has created a platform to
monitor industrial motors using Waspmote. This system is able to

Benefits
Offering a better control for preventive maintenance in the industrial
motors.
Allowing facing peaks production thanks to a quick and easy scalability.
Developing a friendly user interface providing field workers with a took to
ease maintenance.

Libelium Insight
Waspmotes sensors were able to provide Inblay with a friendly interface, but
the end-user wanted to check if this platform was able to behave properly
under real conditions. Real tests were carried out during several weeks in order
to test the whole system. Thanks to the stability of the system, the end-user
was totally satisfied and decided to install the system in the industrial motors.

Partner
The end-user wanted to know temperature and vibration of industrial motors in real-time, and this was a
key factor to use Libeliums products says Antonio Perez, developer of Inblay System.
