TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL
MACHINE HEALTH.
RIGHT DATA.
RIGHT ANALYSIS.
RIGHT ACTION.
MACHINE HEALTH IN A LANGUAGE YOU UNDERSTAND.

OUR MISSION
Our team is on a mission to transform industry by solving critical machine health
problems through the convergence of Industry 4.0 technology and people. We develop
smart, gritty solutions to tackle your toughest challenges. We envision a world with Zero
Injuries, Zero Waste, and Zero Unplanned downtime by 2030.

Our machine health monitoring solution processes

thousands of data points securely and remotely,
providing you with continuous information on the
health of your critical equipment. We break our platform
into three areas—Hardware, Software, and Services.
Our ruggedized hardware is built for even the harshest
environments and reliably transmits continuous data to
the cloud. SMARTdiagnostics software displays real-time
machine health insights in a format that anyone can
understand, enabling your team to take faster action.
Our SENTRYsolutions team of machine health experts
partners with you to help your team on their journey to
achieving peak operational health.

YOUR MACHINES TALK.
HERE’S THE TOOLS WE USE TO LISTEN.

VIBRATION SENSOR
Optimized for low power use, the KCF
Wireless “V3” Vibration Sensors use easily
replaceable batteries and KCF Technologies’
proprietary wireless protocol that transmits
the FULL VIBRATION SPECTRUM OVER THE
AIR ON A NEARLY-CONTINUOUS BASIS.

RELIABLE MONITORING FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION COST-EFFECTIVE

Vibration Sensor Nodes
provide health monitoring
in the most hard-to-reach,
rugged locations. Each node
communicates wirelessly with
SMARTdiagnostics® Software
for viewing and analysis.
The system is highly
configurable and scalable. A
system can have hundreds of
sensor points, each of which can
be configured to transmit data
on a user-selected frequency
with unique indicators.
Easily installed without the
downtime, expense, and
labor costs of old-fashioned,
hard-wired sensors. Simply
place the sensors where
you need them and within
minutes they’ll transmit data. 

BASE STATION
The Base Station is the
central device managing
communications with all of
your wireless devices and
connects them to the internet.  SMARTdiagnostics® software,
Multiple Base Stations located
throughout a facility create a
MESH NETWORK, meaning there
are multiple communication
routes for data to take between
devices, which INCREASES
DATA RELIABILITY.  The Base
Stations package up all the
sensor data and send it to KCF’s
which is accessible from any
device with a web browser; no
need to install software or have
a special dedicated computer in
your plant. That’s it! 
 HARDWARE
WE DON’T STOP THERE. UPGRADE
YOUR MONITORING CAPABILITIES WITH THE
IoT HUB.

The SMARTdiagnostics IOT HUB is the next

generation of full asset health solutions designed to
handle the MOST COMPLEX ASSET MONITORING

multi-functional sensor ports, and the ability to
withstand higher temperatures with external power
sourcing, with optional wired power solution.
