Faraday Predictive gives plant engineers permanent and portable condition monitoring for rotating equipment, so developing faults get caught weeks before they become an unplanned stoppage.
No sensors on the machine, no production downtime to install; our systems connect at the switchgear and start working immediately.
Winners of the 2026 ABB Startup Challenge, Motion High Power division.
Plant engineers are managing three pressures at once:
Condition monitoring addresses all three.
Vibration monitoring has been the standard approach for years, but it has real limits. Sensors have to be mounted directly on the machine, installation can be disruptive, and the results don’t always point to the root cause.
Faraday Predictive takes a different approach. Our technology (MBVI, Model-Based Voltage and Current analysis) connects to the switchgear and reads the motor’s existing current and voltage signals. It picks up electrical, mechanical, and operational issues, often earlier than vibration methods, with no downtime and no invasive setup.
| Feature | Vibration monitoring | Faraday Predictive |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | On-machine sensors, invasive | Switchgear connection, non-invasive |
| Requires equipment shutdown | Often yes | No |
| Fault types detected | Mainly mechanical | Electrical, mechanical and operational |
| Cost | Higher (sensors plus setup) | Lower (uses existing motor signals) |
(Note: the P100 is for on-the-spot assessment, not continuous monitoring, data is only captured when it’s actively in use.)

Predictive maintenance benefits nearly every sector that relies on rotating machinery.
Our main focus areas:
Want a quick way to check what current your motor should be taking, or how much power it’s consuming at a given current level?
No. Our solution is non-invasive and can be installed while your machines are running.
Yes. Our technology works on motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment.
A non-invasive method such as MBVI (Model-Based Voltage and Current analysis) provides a cost-effective alternative to vibration monitoring. It detects a wider range of faults without needing sensors mounted on the machine itself.
