Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your MIS device.
What's in the box
Your MIS device includes:
- The sensor box with integrated monitoring hardware
- Mounting hardware for secure attachment
- Power cable and connectivity components
- QR code label for quick device access
Mounting guidance
For accurate monitoring:
- Choose a location with stable contact to the machine frame or housing
- Avoid loose mounting - the device needs firm attachment to capture meaningful patterns
- Keep away from extreme heat sources or areas prone to water exposure
- Orient the device according to the included mounting guide
- If unsure, contact support for location recommendations specific to your equipment type
Mounting quality matters
MIS relies on a stable mounting connection to measure vibration accurately. If the device is loose or shifts, the system may limit its conclusions. If you see a mounting-related warning, re-mount the device securely and upload a new run.
Power and connectivity
The MIS device requires:
- Continuous power connection (standard outlet or wired power supply)
- Network connectivity (Wi-Fi or Ethernet, depending on device model)
- Initial setup may require brief configuration through the admin panel
Once powered and connected, the device will begin collecting longitudinal data automatically.
Understanding online/offline status
Device status is based on the last time data was received:
The device page shows "Last seen" timestamp to help diagnose connectivity issues.
Scanning the QR code and logging interventions
Each device has a unique QR code:
- Use your phone camera or QR scanner app to scan the code
- You'll be taken to the device's status page showing current health and recent observations
- Scroll to the intervention form at the bottom of the page
- Log what action you took (e.g., "tightened mounting bolts" or "no action needed")
- Optionally note the outcome after you've observed the result
No login is required for QR access - it's designed for quick field use.
Accessing the pilot portal
The pilot portal gives operators and managers an overview of all devices in their organization:
- Log in at the MIS Portal (/app) using your activation credentials
- The portal shows all devices assigned to your pilot, with current status and recent observations
- Use the pilot overview to check which machines need attention without visiting each QR page individually
- Managers can also view intervention history and ROI summaries from the portal
Viewing machine status online
You can check your machine's status remotely without being on site:
- Open the device's QR page URL in any browser — no app installation required
- The page shows real-time status, last evidence timestamp, and current assessment
- Status labels (Stable, Observe, Change Detected, Drifting, Action Required) update automatically as new evidence arrives
- If the device is offline, the page shows the last known status and when it was last seen
What the QR code on the device does
Every MIS device has a unique QR code sticker:
- Scanning the QR code opens the device's dedicated status page in your browser
- The page shows the current machine health assessment, recent observations, and trend information
- Operators can log interventions (maintenance actions) directly from this page
- No account or login is needed — QR pages are designed for quick field access by any team member
- Each scan is recorded so the system knows the device is being actively monitored
Requesting maintenance and logging interventions
When a machine needs attention or you have performed maintenance:
- Scan the device QR code or open its page URL
- Scroll to the intervention form at the bottom of the page
- Select the type of action taken (inspection, repair, adjustment, etc.)
- Describe what was done and the observed outcome
- Optionally indicate when the action occurred if logging after the fact
- Submit the form — MIS will track the intervention and compare machine behavior before and after
Logging interventions promptly improves MIS accuracy. Real-time entries (within minutes) receive the highest confidence rating.
Safety and Escalation
- MIS provides guidance, not diagnostic certainty
- For safety-critical equipment, stop operation and consult a qualified technician if alerts appear
- Never ignore unusual sounds, smells, or visible damage - even if MIS shows "OK"
- Operators remain responsible for all safety decisions
If you're uncertain about any alert or guidance, reach out through the contact page or consult your equipment manufacturer.
