A*STAR's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) and Singapore's Hoestar PD Technology Pte Ltd are working to deploy wireless piezoelectric sensors that will track vibrations and stresses that affect the 'health' of machinery such as motors, pumps and generators. The technology increases productivity by saving time, reducing manual checking and offering precision at detecting defects via its automated remote monitoring.
