minion® IIoT Sensor System

Condition Monitoring as a service product: self-powered, wireless, deployable anywhere – even where cables can't reach.

The minion® is a configurable IoT sensor system combining sensor, cellular gateway and battery in one compact device. Machine data is transmitted directly to the cloud via LTE-M or NB-IoT – no wiring, no access to your customer's IT infrastructure, no complex engineering.

For machine builders and OEMs, this means a ready-to-deploy monitoring product that ships with every machine. No coordination with the end customer's IT team, no dependency on their network.

The minion system covers the key measurements in condition monitoring. Choose the right components for your application:

Vibration sensor: Measures vibration velocity and acceleration to DIN 20816. Detects imbalances, misalignment, shock and bearing wear early on rotating machinery, pumps and drives.

Temperature & humidity sensor: Monitors ambient conditions and temperatures for accurate condition analysis.

Radar sensor: Non-contact distance and level measurement for bulk solids and liquids, measuring range 200–2,000 mm.

Analogue adapter: Connects existing analogue sensors to the minion system, making legacy devices cloud-ready.

Measurement data flows automatically into the cloud platform of your choice. Threshold breaches trigger alerts; data can be turned into maintenance tickets or reorders. A machine delivery becomes a long-term, data-driven service – and a customer relationship that outlasts commissioning.
