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.

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
