Wi-care: wireless vibration monitoring without running cables
How the I-care Wi-care 130 G23 and Wi-care Pure G24 wireless sensors capture vibration, shock and temperature on hazardous and hard-to-reach assets — with up to five years of battery life and data going to the I-see cloud.
Why wireless monitoring
Running cables to every pump, fan or gearbox bearing is expensive, slow and often impossible in a live plant. A monthly route walkdown will not catch a fault that develops in 48 hours.
The I-care Wi-care range solves the problem differently: a compact sensor is mounted on the machine housing, captures triaxial vibration, shock loads and temperature, and sends the data to the I-see cloud platform — without a single metre of cable.
Two formats: route-based and permanent
| Model | Purpose | Key feature |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-care 130 G23 | Route collection | ATEX, up to 5-year battery, results in 15 min |
| Wi-care Pure G24 | Fixed online | Continuous monitoring, I-see integration |
| Wi-care 240 | Extended route | Extra channels and long-term logging |
Wi-care 130 suits plants that want to move from "once a month with a vibration analyser" to a regular trend without stopping equipment. The operator walks up to the sensor and reads the data with a smartphone or tablet.
Wi-care Pure is for critical assets (main pumps, ID fans, CHP compressors) where downtime costs millions.
Typical application scenarios
Power generation
- ID fans and transformer cooling fans
- Cooling circuit pumps
- Auxiliary equipment at CHP and thermal plants
Oil, gas and chemicals
- Transfer pumps in ATEX zones
- Compressors and packages at refineries
- Gearboxes and drives at remote sites
Mining and metals
- Conveyor and crusher drives
- Mine ventilation fans
- Slow-rotating gearboxes (paired with ultrasonic diagnostics)
Wi-care + SDT + Artesis: the KEG TRK ecosystem
Wi-care wireless sensors complement rather than replace the other technologies in the KEG TRK portfolio:
- SDT340 — ultrasound and lubrication on the route
- Artesis EPCM — electrical signature of the motor
- Wi-care — continuous vibration and temperature trend at the asset
This stack covers mechanics, electrics and lubrication without juggling separate contractors.
What the maintenance engineer gets
- Vibration and temperature trends in I-see — accessible from any device
- Early warning of unbalance, looseness and overheating
- Fewer "blind" rounds — the sensor is already in place
- ATEX versions for hazardous areas

Why Artesis Omnisight Is a Revolutionary Solution for Predictive Maintenance
Most condition monitoring programs split assets into "critical" and "everything else" with incompatible tools and no shared data model. Artesis Omnisight collapses that split at the signal level — here is how and why it works.
