Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance systems for rotating machinery

Faraday Predictive provides award-winning predictive maintenance systems for rotating machinery, built on non-invasive condition monitoring for electric motors and industrial equipment. There’s no need to mount sensors on your equipment or stop production to install, our technology connects at the switchgear and detects developing faults early, helping you cut downtime, extend asset life, and reduce energy costs.

Why it matters

As one of the UK’s trusted condition monitoring equipment suppliers, we help plant engineers manage the three pressures they’re facing at once: unplanned downtime, rising energy costs, and ageing equipment. Condition monitoring addresses all three directly:

  • Prevents unexpected downtime by catching developing faults before they cause a breakdown
  • Optimises energy use, detecting load imbalance, poor power factor, and other inefficiencies that quietly increase running costs
  • Extends asset life, since equipment is maintained only when it needs it, not disturbed unnecessarily
  • Improves safety, reducing the risk of sudden, uncontrolled failures
  • Works in hard-to-reach or hazardous environments, since installation happens at the switchgear, not on the machine itself

How it works: a non-invasive alternative to vibration monitoring

Vibration monitoring has long been the standard approach to condition monitoring, but it has real limitations: sensors must be mounted directly on machines, installation can be disruptive, and results don’t always identify the root cause of a fault.

Faraday Predictive takes a different approach. Our MBVI (Model-Based Voltage and Current) technology connects to the switchgear and analyses the motor’s current and voltage signals, detecting electrical, mechanical, and operational issues, often earlier than vibration methods, with no downtime or invasive setup required.

Feature Vibration monitoring Faraday Predictive MBVI
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 + setup) Lower (uses existing motor signals)

Frequently asked questions

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.
