Real-time vibration monitoring for everyone

SiteHive devices and software are designed to be used by anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. From casual users to technical consultants, everyone benefits from using SiteHive’s vibration monitoring services.

With SiteHive, you don’t need to be an expert. SiteHive Hexanode devices are fully automated: once placed on site the device orientates and configures itself and automatically starts delivering continuous vibration data. SiteHive Enviro software then manages all the sensor data. The software is intuitive and very easy to use, so everyone can manage their vibration monitoring. 

SiteHive vibration monitoring devices and software are also great for technical consultants and other experts to use for delivering vibration and acoustic services. With the real-time data and insights provided by SiteHive sensors and software, consultants have immediate access to quality information and can enhance and expand the services they deliver to clients.

Which industries can benefit from using SiteHive vibration monitoring services?

SiteHive’s vibration monitoring services are specifically designed to be used in industries including:

  • All types of construction: infrastructure, civil, residential, buildings, schools, hospitals, health care developments, etc.
  • Operational facilities: mines, quarries, ports, waste management, data centres, industrial facilities, etc.

They are ideal for use on construction sites of all sizes, as well as for industrial and business settings. They can be used in planning, construction and operational phases: across the entire project lifecycle and beyond.

Real-time vibration monitor: SiteHive Hexanode Vibration

SiteHive Hexanode Vibration monitors are palm-sized, robust, and automated devices that are practical to be deployed anywhere. They can be used in multiple orientations; in soft or hard ground; and mounted to walls, including sensitive or heritage structures. 

They provide continuous, real-time data on vibration levels covering structural vibration, human comfort and ground-borne noise.

Vibration monitoring services – SiteHive Enviro software

SiteHive’s award-winning software, SiteHive Enviro, is a cloud-based system that can be accessed from anywhere and brings all information into one place. Vibration monitoring data is presented in graphical formats that make things easy to understand. 

You can see vibration trends and summary statistics clearly. For example, peak velocities and vibration dose values are calculated instantly. Real-time analyses, such as frequency-based impacts, are analysed and graphed to show you what’s happening and save valuable time. 

With SiteHive Enviro, everything can be controlled from one, easy-to-use dashboard that includes an interactive map of your site. Summary and detailed reporting can be produced automatically with one click, and it’s based on your specific requirements. 

Alerts, delivered by sms or email, will let you know if there’s an issue, so you can get on with work while your SiteHive products manage the monitoring for you.

SiteHive’s vibration monitoring services provide real-time vibration data that enables fast identification of vibration issues, and accurate decision-making on action and abatement.

Key features of SiteHive vibration monitoring services include:

  • Small and mobile device that can be used almost anywhere, and in any orientation. The vibration monitoring device can be placed in hard ground, soft ground and wall-mounted
  • Provides real-time, continuous data on vibration levels for structural damage, human comfort and ground-borne noise
  • Complies with international standards for each vibration type: structural damage PPV (DIN 4150-3, BS 7385-2);  human comfort VDV (DIN 4150-2, BS 6472); and ground-borne noise (Leq)
  • Clear visual summaries of waveform events
  • Co-locate with SiteHive Hexanode Multi/Noise devices to also receive images and audio of events
  • Digital dashboard that shows a complete view of what’s happening on your site from one screen
  • Automated and customisable alerts, based on your rules and vibration thresholds
  • Automated reporting, including summary PDF reports, graphs of trends and summary statistics
  • Attended monitoring that lets you add data from onsite directly from the SiteHive Enviro web app
  • Nearby or on-site weather data from BoM automatically available for reference
  • Wireless connectivity, remote monitoring
  • Solar, mains or battery-operated with low power requirements

Automatic set-up and orientation

The SiteHive Hexanode Vibration device has an auto-orientation capability which means you don’t have to worry about orientating or levelling the device on deployment. As soon as the device is mounted, simply power it on to begin recording and publishing measurements – everything is automated and no configuration is required.

Automatic analyses

SiteHive vibration monitoring services automatically analyse and visualise your vibration data, so you can see exactly what it happening:

  • Summary statistics for peak velocities and vibration dose values are calculated instantly, providing essential data for vibration analyses. 
  • Advanced vibration sensors provide precise frequency analysis. Frequency-based impacts are graphed and analysed to identify project risks.
  • Noise levels caused by vibration transferred through structures are calculated automatically. So you can measure the actual impact of activities and accurately assess structural impact and any potential adverse effects it may have on workers.

Waveforms of events

SiteHive provides visual summaries of waveform events, which can then be explored in detail to compare velocities and frequencies, plotted against the DIN-4150:3 standard. Waveforms can also be explained in SiteHive Enviro to provide a full system of record. 

Automated alerts

SiteHive vibration monitoring services automatically alert you to vibration events based on the rules and thresholds you set. So you can be proactive and ensure minimal disruption to your operations. It also means you can get on with other work while the SiteHive systems do the monitoring and analysis for you.

Instant PDF reports

SiteHive Enviro generates elegant PDF reports instantly, allowing data to be shared with teams and stakeholders in an easy-to-understand format. 

Share data with stakeholders

A stakeholder view enables a curated view of data to be shared with stakeholders and teams. SiteHive’s vibration monitoring services provide real-time insights that allow people to collaborate and make informed decisions. Data sharing and stakeholder engagement are streamlined, making vibration monitoring more effective.

Eyes and ears” on site 24/7

Use the vibration device in conjunction with other SiteHive Hexanode monitoring devices to get images and audio direct from the vibration location. You’ll see images and hear audio of events directly from your site in real-time, from wherever you are. 

Plus using it in conjunction with other SiteHive devices means you can monitor vibration, noise, dust and water, along with forecast and actual weather conditions, all together in one place.

All your data, together in one place

With SiteHive vibration monitoring services all your information is at your fingertips, controlled through a graphical dashboard. An interactive map shows you exactly what’s happening on site, displaying the latest vSum readings for vibration at each monitoring point alongside time-based graphs of all your data.  

You can see all your monitored data alongside other critical information. For example:

  • Weather forecast and actual is provided from the nearest BOM or your own weather station; 
  • Attended data can be added directly into the system using the SiteHive Enviro web app, including uploading photos and other materials;
  • The Daily Notes feature allows you to add notes and specifics to explain events or update teams.

Through its devices and software, SiteHive provides vibration monitoring services that enable you to monitor vibration continuously, identify vibration issues quickly, deliver quality compliance reporting, and keep stakeholders informed.
