Meet the Octopus.

With four sensors and four data capture modes, The Octopus hears, feels, and reads everything from ultrasonic frequencies to magnetic flux. An IP69K-rated casing engineered to be washdown safe in any environment and a low profile makes every node easy to install in the places you need them most.

Four sensors, working in tandem.

Four sensors on each chip capture vibration, acoustic, thermal, and magnetic readings in multiple places on every machine to ensure healthy function and pick out failure states with precision. That much data means you'll know what parts to replace before running into costly, unplanned downtime.

Vibration.

Healthy machines carry expected running harmonics. Bearing geometry and RPM tell us where fault-frequency families should land; the warning is when those calculated lines grow, split into shaft-speed sidebands, or change together over time.

  • Inner-race / outer-race / cage defect frequencies (BPFI, BPFO, FTF)
  • Imbalance, misalignment, mechanical looseness
  • Cavitation in pumps and valve trains
  • Gear-mesh sidebands and tooth-wear harmonics
Sample rateup to 26.7 kHz
Range±50 g · 3-axis
Sensitivity25 µg / √Hz
VIBRATION · FFT 26.7 KHZ
CALC FREQ · SIDEBANDS

Acoustic.

Lubrication starvation, partial-discharge arcs, pressurized leaks, and cavitation show up as persistent ultrasonic bands, bursts, and broadband energy — mostly inaudible to a human, obvious to a wide-bandwidth MEMS mic.

  • Lubrication starvation in rolling-element bearings
  • Partial discharge in switchgear and motor windings
  • Pressurized gas, steam, and compressed-air leaks
  • Cavitation envelopes in pumps and impellers
Bandwidthup to 80 kHz
Sensitivity−37 dBV / Pa

ACOUSTIC · WATERFALL 80 KHZ

Thermal.

Heat is the integral of every loss in the system — friction, electrical, hydraulic. A bearing trends warm before it trends loud; a motor winding trends warm before it fails open.

  • Bearing surface temperature rise vs. ambient
  • Motor winding insulation degradation drift
  • Hydraulic fluid breakdown and overheating
  • Gearbox oil temperature and lubrication breakdown
Logged rate10 Hz
Range−40 to +217 °C
Accuracy±0.15 °C @ 0 °C
THERMAL · GRID PT1000
CH-T1 · SLOW DRIFT

Magnetic.

Stator-current signatures and rotor-bar faults leak through the motor housing as low-frequency magnetic flux long before they reach the vibration channel.

  • Broken rotor bars and stator winding asymmetry
  • Eccentric air gaps and bearing-current discharge
  • Line-side power-quality drift and harmonic distortion
  • Solenoid and contactor health on switchgear
Bandwidthup to 1 kHz
Range±30 gauss · 3-axis
Noise floor120 µgauss / √Hz

One machine picture.

Whatever the Octopus sees, Innova uses cutting edge multi-modal sensor fusion to produce a unified picture of machine health. Whether you're an on-site engineer or a distance manager, you'll know exactly what's happening on your floor.
