Industrial Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Current, pressure and Modbus on one platform

The BLOCK family captures electrical current, pressure, temperature and industrial signals through Modbus, 4-20mA and pulse inputs. Instead of stranded sensors and isolated PLCs, motors, pumps, compressors and metering report into a single LF Cloud view, so production, energy and maintenance teams work from the same scheduled data with instant alarms.

Predictive maintenance before failure

Trend analysis of current, pressure and temperature supports predictive maintenance: BLOCK Current tracks each motor and compressor against its normal load, and drift alarms flag gradual change before a limit is crossed. Catching a bearing or winding problem early turns an emergency shutdown into a planned service window, reducing unplanned downtime, protecting throughput and extending the life of expensive rotating equipment. Vibration sensing is coming with the upcoming EDGE Multi.

No gateway, deployable on any line

BLOCK devices connect directly to ordinary WiFi, and cellular EDGE models or the Single Modbus Bridge cover sites without WiFi, so you can instrument a line, a remote pumphouse or a leased facility without a gateway, wiring project or IT involvement. The patented up-to-3-year battery on 4 AA batteries keeps standalone sensing points reporting for years, even where running power is impractical.

Alarms and reports for operations

Four-level alarms by phone, SMS and email notify the right operator the instant a current draw, pressure or temperature crosses a limit, in their own time zone. Dynamic graphs and custom reports turn continuous data into trend analysis for energy use, asset health and uptime, all retained in a Canadian cloud.

Frequently asked questions

What signals and equipment can LoggerFlex connect to in an industrial plant?

LoggerFlex reads almost any industrial signal: digital temperature probes, 4-20 mA loops, pulse outputs, Modbus RTU devices, BLE, NFC, and dry-contact, door, and flood inputs. If your machine outputs a signal we can read it, and we add sensing where it does not.

Can I deploy without running new network cabling?

Yes. Devices connect over no-gateway WiFi or, on cellular models, built-in global cellular, so there is no separate hub and often no new wiring. That makes monitoring practical in plants and remote sites where running cable or installing gateways is costly or impractical.

Does LoggerFlex support predictive maintenance?

Continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, and machine signals lets you spot drift and abnormal trends before failure. Configurable alarms and historical data in LF Cloud support condition-based and predictive maintenance instead of reactive repairs.

How are records secured and where are they hosted?

Data travels over TLS to LF Cloud, whose servers are only in Canada (Montreal), and logins, setting changes and alarm acknowledgments go to a timestamped activity log that users cannot edit or delete.
