Wireless Vibration Monitoring for Rotating Equipment
Predictive maintenance | Motors, pumps, fans, compressors, and rotating assets
✓ What problem are we solving?
Rotating equipment often gives warning signs before it fails, but those signs are easy to miss when vibration checks are manual, inconsistent, or limited to occasional inspections. Motors, pumps, fans, compressors, and similar assets can develop bearing, alignment, imbalance, and mechanical issues that lead to unplanned downtime if they are not monitored early.
Britton Electronics & Automation helps industrial facilities use wireless vibration monitoring as part of a practical reliability strategy. The goal is to make asset condition easier to see, trend, and act on before a small mechanical issue becomes a production or utility outage.
Earlier failure detection
Continuous or scheduled monitoring can reveal changes in vibration before equipment reaches a failure point.
Reduced manual inspection load
Wireless sensors help teams monitor hard-to-reach or distributed assets without relying only on walk-around checks.
Better maintenance planning
Trend data gives maintenance teams more time to schedule repairs, order parts, and avoid emergency response work.
✓ What technology supports the solution?
Banner Engineering wireless vibration monitoring kits provide sensor, wireless network, and data collection components that can support rotating equipment monitoring applications. BEA applies that technology within a broader engineering process: selecting the right assets, establishing baselines, defining alert thresholds, and helping maintenance teams understand what the data means.
✓ Monitor motors, pumps, fans, compressors, and similar rotating equipment.
✓ Establish vibration baselines and thresholds for each application.
✓ Use wireless monitoring where wiring or manual inspection is difficult.
✓ How is the solution implemented?
A useful vibration monitoring project starts with the equipment, not the product. BEA helps identify critical assets, review installation locations, configure the wireless network, document thresholds, and support the maintenance workflow that turns vibration data into action.

Electrical Safety: Avoiding Common Hazards in Industrial Systems
Electrical safety | Field service, troubleshooting, maintenance, and commissioning
✓ What problem are we solving?
Industrial electrical work can expose maintenance teams and controls technicians to shock, arc flash, and equipment hazards when basic safety practices become routine or rushed. Even familiar voltages, known equipment, and quick troubleshooting tasks can become dangerous when work is performed energized, PPE is skipped, or test equipment is not maintained.
Britton Electronics & Automation approaches electrical service and controls work as an engineered process: identify the hazard, verify the condition of the equipment, use the right test instruments, follow documented procedures, and keep personnel safety ahead of production pressure.
De-energize when possible
The safest energized work is the work that can be planned, isolated, locked out, and verified before service begins.
Use maintained test equipment
Meters, leads, and verification tools must be appropriate for the task, inspected before use, and trusted only when their condition is known.
Follow PPE and permit procedures
Training, PPE, energized work permits, and job briefings create the discipline needed when electrical work cannot be avoided.
✓ What technology supports the solution?
Safety depends on both procedure and equipment. Properly rated meters, inspected leads, calibrated instruments, documented lockout/tagout practices, NFPA 70E awareness, and maintained power distribution equipment all support safer troubleshooting and maintenance.
✓ Verify absence of voltage with the correct test method.
✓ Inspect PPE, meters, and leads before the work begins.
✓ Maintain electrical equipment so failures are less likely during operation or service.
✓ How is the solution implemented?
BEA supports industrial customers by combining field experience, controls knowledge, electrical troubleshooting, and practical documentation. The goal is not just to restore operation, but to reduce repeat hazards and make future maintenance easier to perform safely.
