Heat is the quiet warning sign of most machine failures. A bearing losing lubrication, a motor pulling too hard, or a gearbox running rough all show up as rising temperature first. The Smart Machine Temperature Monitor is the simple, low cost way to catch that early, before the breakdown.
Unlike ambient room sensors, this device reads the temperature of the machine itself. A contact RTD probe mounts onto the exact hot spot you care about, a bearing housing, motor casing, gearbox, or electrical panel, and continuously tracks surface temperature against the limits you set. When a reading drifts high, you know in real time, not after the damage.
It installs in minutes with no rewiring, runs on a 12V DC adapter or 220V AC, and streams over Wi-Fi using MQTT and HTTP straight to your dashboard or the cloud, with no extra gateway to buy. Because IoTize is built on data freedom, you are never locked to our servers. Run it on-prem, in your private cloud, or on IoTize SaaS, and connect it to your own platform.
For small factories, it is the cheapest insurance against heat related failure, one machine at a time.
Key Features
- Contact Machine Temperature: Reads the surface temperature of the machine itself, not just the surrounding air.
- Early Overheating Detection: Flags lost lubrication, friction, overload, and cooling failures before they cause damage.
- Mount It Where It Matters: Magnetic, adhesive, or screw mounting onto bearings, motor casings, gearboxes, or panels.
- Real-Time Threshold Alerts: Configurable high and low limits with instant notification.
- Minutes to Install: No rewiring and no electrician required.
- Open Connectivity: Wi-Fi with MQTT and HTTP to your dashboard or the cloud.
- Deploy Your Way: On-prem, private cloud, or IoTize SaaS. Your data, your platform.
