AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor
AI-Powered Wireless IIoT for Machinery Health & Reliability
Many organizations lack the headcount and analysis expertise to expand their monitoring program to all the necessary equipment in their facility. The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor will extend your reliability program to an unprecedented number of plant assets – including those in hazardous or hard to reach areas, or balance-of-plant assets – and deliver maximum visibility to asset health. The unit features complete data acquisition – triax vibration with temperature and PeakVue measurements – to provide a sophisticated look at asset health on par with other online and portable monitoring options.
Wireless IIoT for Reliability, Redefined
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is an easy-to-deploy vibration sensor that performs prescriptive analytics on vibration data using native software to identify failure modes in rotating equipment like motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, centrifuges, agitators, compressors, conveyor systems, and many others. This compact device makes it easier to monitor more equipment, reduce downtime, and improve reliability.
Shift from CapEx to OpEx
This wireless sensor enables a shift from traditional capital-intensive asset monitoring to a flexible operational expenditure model. By leveraging a cloud-ready, AI-powered wireless network, organizations can deploy sensors incrementally, scale monitoring as needed, and pay only for the insights and services consumed—turning CapEx-heavy maintenance investments into manageable OpEx costs. This approach accelerates predictive maintenance adoption, lowers barriers to entry, and delivers continuous value by optimizing asset performance with minimal upfront investment.
Viewing Your Asset Monitoring and Vibration Data
AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses AMS Machine Works as its primary interfacing software application for detailed data analysis, reporting and visualization. Access complete vibration data including overall levels, energy bands, high resolution spectra, and waveforms, as well as PeakVue and PeakVue Plus Technology. In AMS Machine Works, data acquired from AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor may be aggregated with data from other solutions like the AMS 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter, AMS Asset Monitor, and AMS 6500 ATG to form a holistic view of asset health across all your monitored rotating assets.

Customer Stories
Learn why Emerson’s AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is the foremost vibration sensor across process and manufacturing industries worldwide.
PeakVue Plus Automated Prescriptive Analytics
Since its release in 1995, Emerson’s PeakVue has long been recognized as the premiere technology for detecting rolling element bearing defects. PeakVue Plus Analytics take PeakVue a step further to provide prescriptive analytics.
AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses PeakVue™ Plus technology to cut through the complexity of machinery health analysis and provide a simple, reliable indication of equipment health via a single trend. PeakVue Plus detects impacting on critical components like bearings and gears and tells the technician if that impacting is a result of common issues such as lubrication or bearing failure.
Quicker ROI, Lower Total Cost of Ownership and Many Integration Options
Reduce installation and project engineering costs when compared with other monitoring techniques. Integrate to systems like DeltaV, AMS Optics, AMS Machine Works, AMS Device Manager, Plantweb Insight, plant historians, data lakes, control systems, AI/ML and analytics platforms, and more.
WirelessHART® Network
AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses a WirelessHART® mesh network, making each sensor both a transmitter and receiver. If normal path to the gateway is unavailable, it uses neighboring sensors as a through point, resulting in a more reliable wireless network. Fully compatible with existing WirelessHART networks and AMS 9420 installations.
3-5-year Battery Life
No highly skilled plant employee wants to spend their time changing batteries on the hundreds or thousands of wireless sensors scattered around the plant. The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor battery unit will run for 5 years under normal operating conditions. This allows your experts to spend more time on high-value tasks.
Superior Data Acquisition
AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor offers detailed diagnostic data featuring an industry-leading sampling rate of 51.2 kHz. High frequency, high resolution waveform are available on demand and on schedule, and spectra is calculated and transmitted with up to 1600 Lines of Resolution, ideal for in-depth diagnosis with AMS Machine Works software.
13 Configurable Parameters
Generate up to thirteen parameters to facilitate fast assessment of machine condition. While the default settings will apply to the most common plant assets, these parameters are also fully configurable, and may be customized to focus on specific machine characteristics indicating asset health or process performance.
