Nanoprecise Sci Corp

Battery-powered six-in-one condition monitoring sensors with automated fault diagnosis

As of 1 September 2026, Nanoprecise Sci Corp's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Nanoprecise sells the sensor and the diagnosis together; you cannot buy the analytics and use your own hardware. Softwr lists it under Manufacturing. Nanoprecise Sci Corp is available on Web, Cloud, iOS, Android.

Overview

What Nanoprecise Sci Corp does

Nanoprecise Sci Corp is a Canadian company making MachineDoctor, a wireless condition monitoring sensor that measures vibration, temperature, acoustics, magnetic flux, humidity and pressure, paired with cloud analytics that classify the fault rather than just flagging an anomaly. Sensors attach magnetically or by stud, connect over WiFi, LTE or LoRa, and report to a platform that names the probable failure mode, bearing, misalignment, imbalance, looseness, lubrication, and estimates remaining useful life. The company also markets energy and carbon reporting derived from the same measurements. What distinguishes it from software-only reliability platforms is that the hardware and the diagnosis are one purchase. Nanoprecise trains its models on data from its own sensor, so it does not accept third-party accelerometer data as a first-class input, and the automated diagnosis is the product rather than a dashboard for an analyst. That suits plants with no vibration analyst on staff, which is most plants, and suits Nanoprecise commercially because every additional monitored asset is another sensor sale as well as another subscription line. Buyers are manufacturers, mining operations, utilities and facilities teams monitoring populations of pumps, fans, motors and gearboxes. The trade-off is lock-in and unit economics: the sensor and the platform are inseparable, per-asset costs commonly land in the region of tens of dollars per asset per month before hardware, and a plant with several hundred rotating assets faces a bill that scales linearly with coverage while a plant-wide walkaround programme does not.

What people use it for

  • A plant with no vibration analyst that needs a named fault rather than a spectrum to interpret
  • Monitoring rotating equipment in areas with no power or network cabling, where a battery sensor on LTE avoids an electrical project
  • A mining site tracking conveyor and pump condition across a large area where walkaround routes are impractical
  • A facilities team wanting motor energy waste and condition from the same device to justify the spend on two grounds

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Nanoprecise Sci Corp.

  • The hardware and analytics are inseparable, so you cannot bring your own accelerometers or keep the platform if you change sensor vendor, and every expansion of coverage is a hardware purchase as well as a subscription increase.
  • Per-asset subscription costs scale linearly with the number of monitored machines, so full coverage of a large rotating asset population becomes expensive in a way a traditional route-based programme does not.
  • Nanoprecise is a small venture-funded company, so a buyer standardising a whole estate on its sensors is taking a supplier continuity risk that a Baker Hughes or SKF purchase does not carry.
  • Automated fault classification is only as good as the model for your specific machine type, and unusual or slow-speed equipment is where these systems are weakest, exactly where a human analyst would still be needed.
  • Nothing is published on pricing, hardware cost, gateway requirements or contract length, so total cost for a realistic deployment cannot be estimated without a sales engagement.

    Names the probable failure mode rather than reporting an unexplained anomaly score

  • Remaining useful life estimate

    Time-to-failure estimates intended to drive maintenance scheduling

  • Multi-connectivity

    WiFi, LTE and LoRa options for sites without industrial network coverage

  • Long battery life

    Designed for multi-year operation without cabling or a power supply at the asset

  • Energy and carbon reporting

    Derives motor energy and emissions figures from the same measurements

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

Can I use my own vibration sensors?

No. The platform is built around the MachineDoctor sensor and third-party sensor data is not a supported first-class input.

Do I need a gateway?

For WiFi and LoRa deployments yes. LTE sensors report directly but carry a connectivity cost.

Does it tell me what is wrong or just that something is wrong?

It classifies the fault type and estimates remaining useful life, which is the main reason plants without a vibration analyst choose it.

How is it priced?

Per monitored asset on subscription, plus sensor and gateway hardware. Nothing is published; expect a multi-year agreement.
