Enterprise-grade vibration analysis for industrial maintenance teams. Real-time FFT, AI predictive diagnostics, ISO 10816 compliance built-in — deployed in hours, not 6 months.
Industrial SMEs face the same dilemma: critical machines with no adequate monitoring, due to budget constraints or lack of expertise.
A bearing failure, a turbine offline for 3 weeks. Every hour of unplanned downtime costs between $5,000 and $50,000 depending on the industry. Yet 73% of these failures are predictable weeks in advance.
A certified CAT III vibration analyst costs $150–$250/hour. Enterprise platforms (Bently Nevada, SKF) require in-house expertise that most SMEs simply don't have — and 6+ months of deployment minimum.
Enterprise licenses start at $50,000/year. Cloud SaaS solutions force you to buy their proprietary sensors. And your production data ends up on servers you don't control.
DaqExpert gives you the same analyses as Bently Nevada or SKF — advanced FFT, envelope analysis, Campbell diagram — without the budget or the in-house expert.
Plug in your existing IEPE/ICP sensors, configure in a few clicks. No 6-month integration project.
Clear, actionable diagnostics. AI translates vibration anomalies into plain-language recommendations any technician can act on.
On-premise deployment available. No production data is ever sent to third-party servers without your explicit consent.
Alarm zones A, B, C, D by machine class. Normative compliance from the first acquisition — no expert configuration required.
Compatible with the full National Instruments lineup. USB-6000, cDAQ, PXI. Works with tasks you already configured in NI MAX.
From real-time acquisition to professional report generation, DaqExpert covers the complete industrial monitoring workflow.
Multi-device support, task-based channel configuration, automatic channel validation at startup.
Per-channel enable/disable, custom colors and labels, per-channel filters, units assignment.

SciChart VisualXccelerator — 6 simultaneous live charts at 30 FPS, LTTB downsampling, 3000+ visible points.
Amplitude spectrum, dB scale, spectral windows, continuous update on the live data stream.
Acceleration → Velocity (∫) → Displacement (∫∫), derivatives d/dt, delta cursor, zoom/pan.
