The project contributes directly to strengthening the European market in several key sectors such as quality control systems, safety systems, wireless communication and industrial automation and control systems.
WiBRATE provides a complete end-to-end solution for carrying out fully automated condition-based maintenance for high vibration environments, thus totally eliminating the labour-intensive process of periodic monitoring. In addition, WiBRATE’s continuous monitoring system also provides proactive maintenance capability, offering detailed historical information about the status of the equipment in the event of a failure.

The results of WiBRATE are applied and showcased by the industrial partners in automotive manufacturing, aerospace and railway industries.
