Vibration Signal Processing and Anomaly Detection Dashboard

 

Vibration signal processing is the analysis of sensor data from rotating machinery, using tools like FFT, PSD, and STFT, to detect mechanical faults before they cause failure. Pairing these techniques with machine learning anomaly detection, such as Isolation Forest and PCA, makes it possible to flag imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear automatically. Typically, our posts are for educational purposes, but in this post we talk specifically about using enDAQ sensors and enDAQ sensor data to help with signal processing. In this guide, you'll learn how to explore enDAQ vibration data (.ide files) and use an interactive dashboard to visualize signals, run frequency analysis, and detect anomalies, helping you reduce downtime and move toward predictive maintenance.
