Sparrow

Advanced wireless diagnostics for balance-of-plant assets

Because every asset counts, we are now introducing Sparrow, the smallest wireless triaxial vibration and temperature sensor on the market with no new software to install and learn, no additional training and no need to take the focus away from your critical machinery.

Its capabilities, affordability and full integration with our Nesti4.0 software platform make it the perfect choice for monitoring every balance-of-plant asset in your facility and the ideal complementary sensor to your existing network of Acoem critical asset solutions like the Eagle or MV-x.

Features

Flexible software & hosting platform
Connect all your data-collecting tools on one software platform with either on-premises or cloud-based storage. Seamless big data integration lets you easily link your machine health information with your data lake via OPC UA (Nesti4.0, Gateway), Modbus TCP (Gateway) or MQTT (Gateway).
Compact, durable & effortless deployment
At only 33mm high, the Sparrow sensor can be deployed anywhere. Dust, water and solvent-resistant for greater longevity. Operational in ambient conditions of -40 °C to +80 °C. Simple and straightforward to install and operate with your precision data available within minutes.
24/7 access to actionable data
Simplifies your decision-making process and enhance your operational efficiency with information from every machine in your network available in one place at any time thanks to the Acoem WebPortal.
Low cost of ownership
As the Acoem reliability range’s entry-level solution, Sparrow makes monitoring more affordable, especially for large-scale projects. Standard replaceable battery extends your sensor’s lifecycle, meaning no technology redundancy.
Advanced diagnostics capabilities
With the benefit of the Acoem Machine Health Matrix & Shock Finder™ Filter, quickly assess the health of your machines with professional vibration analysis data available on a single screen on any enabled, secure device. Access displays of shocks in the time waveform automatically.
Access to expertise
Remote support via our Acoem Advisor service whenever needed. An individually tailored, custom-designed condition-based maintenance program can be developed with data analysis and certified reports from Acoem experts worldwide.

One size doesn’t fit all

We recognise that every industrial operation is different, and your plant may be made up of a wide variety of machinery – some critical and others less so. But every piece of equipment, no matter its level of criticality, contributes to your ability to operate efficiently and effectively. Maintenance downtime and breakdowns can be costly and a safety risk for your workforce and surrounding populations.

With Sparrow, we now offer a complete suite of monitoring solutions – from portable to wireless and real-time data capture, letting you choose which combination of sensor systems to implement on your various assets. No matter whether you invest in Sparrow, Eagle, Falcon, MV-x, Machine Defender or all of them, your data will be connected and easily managed in one place for seamless diagnostics and analysis with Nesti4.0.

With Sparrow, eliminate the need for manual inspections and improve operational efficiency and performance. Give your balance-of-plant assets the same professional analysis software as your other critical machines monitored with portable and real-time monitoring solutions.

There is a new bird in the Nest

Applications

Equip your maintenance team with comprehensive diagnostic tools for every machine in your plant – saving time, energy and resources.
Sparrow is suitable for use in any industrial application – whether it is for a single small machine, a large number of less critical machines or an entire network of balance-of-plant assets. Designed to give you a greater choice in your monitoring capacity, it is ideal for balance-of-plant assets including:

  • electric motors
  • pumps
  • fans
  • stationary machines without gearboxes (or small gearboxes)
  • non-critical assets that were previously monitored by first level data collection vibration meters
  • machinery that may have been monitored via basic 4-20mA sensors.
