WiiMine - The Vibration Sensor
The heart of vibration monitoring system, enables quick, easy, and affordable vibration measurement, deployed in the most inaccessible corners of your facility, monitoring the machine conditions.
WiiMine incorporates 3-axial accelerometer, temperature sensor, wireless connectivity and battery into one, easy-to-use product. Its measurement range (up to 16 g acceleration), sampling rates (up to 1.6 kHz), long battery life (1 year typical), and small, portable model make it ideal for many vibration measurement and monitoring applications.
WiiMine supports two mounting methods: adhesive mounting and magnet mounting. Adhesive mounting is used with industrial strength double-sided tape for dielectric surface targets, while magnet mounting is used for metal surface targets. Its rugged enclosure assures WiiMine of accurate vibration data acquisition.
WiiMine performs RMS (root mean squared) averaging for vibration measurement. Because acceleration signals are extremely fast by nature, they require high speed sampling and computationally intensive processing. The onboard RMS algorithm provides a slow moving output so that it can be easily measured by a low speed system, greatly simplifying vibration monitoring and measurement works.

In a WSN topology, multiple WiiMines (as many as 100 sensors) can send vibration data to a gateway (the WiiGate or the WiiSA64) via a wireless protocol (Bluetooth Smart or Sub-1 GHz). The gateway connecting to the Internet would in turn transmit data to the cloud-based computing platform (the WiiMatrix). Users can monitor or measure the vibration data through web-based device such as a mobile phone or a PC.
