The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Sensemore the company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.; Waites Sensor Technologies the radio protocol, gateways, sensors and analytics are a single proprietary stack, so the hardware investment cannot later be redirected at a different analytics vendor.
  • They diverge on capability: Sensemore covers Wireless vibration sensors, Waites Sensor Technologies covers Multi-point nodes.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Sensemore

  • The company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.
  • Support and spares are largely delivered through distributors, so response quality varies by country and buyers outside Turkey and the immediate region should verify local coverage before ordering.
  • Pricing is not published and routes through integrators, which means the software cost is often bundled into a project price you cannot decompose.
  • Long-term vendor viability is an open question for a venture-stage hardware company, and a sensor network is a ten-year commitment; an exit or wind-down would strand the installed hardware.
  • Documentation and the analytics user interface are thinner than established competitors, so teams without vibration expertise get less guidance in interpreting what the platform flags.

Waites Sensor Technologies

  • The radio protocol, gateways, sensors and analytics are a single proprietary stack, so the hardware investment cannot later be redirected at a different analytics vendor.
  • No pricing is published while the marketing claims a fraction of competitors cost, so the central claim cannot be verified without entering a sales process.
  • A multi-point node is a single point of failure for six measurement points; when the node or its battery fails, six machines go dark rather than one.
  • Wired accelerometer runs back to the node reintroduce cable routing and mechanical protection work that single-sensor wireless products were meant to eliminate.
  • The company is small and its presence is concentrated in North America, so installation support, spares and analyst coverage outside that region depend on partners rather than direct service.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Sensemore: Where is Sensemore based?

Istanbul, Turkey. It designs and manufactures its own sensing hardware.

Waites Sensor Technologies: How many points does one node monitor?

Up to six, using wired accelerometers back to a single wireless node.

Sensemore: Is pricing published?

No. Hardware and platform are quoted, usually through a distributor or system integrator.

Waites Sensor Technologies: Is analyst review included?

Waites includes analyst review in its programme model rather than selling it as separate consultancy, which is the main structural difference from sensor-only vendors.

Sensemore: How does it compare on cost?

It is positioned below the established Western condition monitoring vendors, which is the reason most buyers evaluate it.

Waites Sensor Technologies: What is the wireless range?

Around 3,000 feet line of sight, which usually means fewer gateways per plant than short-range mesh alternatives.

Sensemore: Can I get the raw data out?

Yes, there is a REST API and MQTT support for pulling measurements into other systems.

Waites Sensor Technologies: Can I export the raw data?

There is an API, but the sensors and radio are proprietary, so the data path runs through the Waites platform.
