Permanent Monitoring
Industrial Maintenance & Reliability 4.0
Reliability teams that are trading some of their periodic inspections for continuous monitoring on critical assets experience fewer failures, less unplanned downtime, more efficient machinery, and lasting performance gains.
Leveraging real-time condition monitoring data helps your maintenance and reliability team stay ahead of costly breakdowns, and unplanned downtime.
Permanent Monitoring Solutions
Wi-care
A modular wireless vibration sensor that delivers continuous mechanical system monitoring in harsh environments with real-time alerts. Fully integrated within the I-see™ Platform.
VIGILANT
A robust, multi-functional monitoring system for continuous monitoring of critical mechanical, fluid, and electrical systems.
ON-GUARD
A condition-based automated lubrication system that greases with precision based on real-time and historic data.
Why Companies Are Moving to Continuous Monitoring
Asset Criticality
When critical machinery fails, operations stop, production goes down, and the bottom line suffers. SDT’s permanent monitoring solutions provide the earliest warning signs of a change in an assets condition.
Hard-to-Reach, Hazardous, and Remote Equipment
High voltage panels of sub stations, confined spaces, elevated machinery, or even assets on the other side of the planet. Some assets pose monitoring challenges that permanently mounted sensors help reliability teams overcome.
Saving Valuable Analyst and Inspector Time
Manual, route-based data collection certainly has its strengths, but it is still a time-consuming task for reliability teams. SDT’s permanently mounted sensors, real-time data monitoring, and access to historic trends give reliability teams the valuable insights they need.
Enabling Data to Guide your Maintenance Program
Modern reliability programs depend on accurate predictive analytics that drive automations, decisions and continuous improvement. SDT’s predictive monitoring solutions integrate seamlessly with SCADA, CMMS, and IoT platforms, and can be configured to trigger automated alerts.

The I-care platform delivers a comprehensive solution for predictive maintenance, helping your organization shift from reactive repairs to proactive reliability.
ON-GUARD: Intelligent Condition-Based Lubrication
ON-GUARD eliminates guesswork in lubrication by ensuring grease is applied only when needed based on real-time friction levels.
- Live friction monitoring to optimize lubrication
- Automated, precision grease injection
- Data-driven lubrication strategies to prevent over- & under-greasing
By switching to condition-based lubrication, ON-GUARD helps prevent premature bearing failure, reduce grease waste, and extend asset life.
Vigilant: Advanced Multi-Sensor Monitoring for Critical Assets
For high-risk, mission-critical equipment, Vigilant is an 8-channel, permanently mounted condition monitoring system that combines:
- Airborne & contact ultrasound diagnostics
- Vibration analysis
- Temperature monitoring
- Tachometer tracking
Vigilant is ideal for hard-to-access, hazardous, or heavily guarded equipment, continuously delivering real-time data and automatic alerts to maintenance teams—without the need for manual inspections.
