Our Comprehensive HVAC Condition Monitoring System for Data Centers
Sensors
UpTime’s wireless sensors deliver ultrasound, vibration, and temperature monitoring across data center HVAC equipment, from in-row cooling units to chillers, rear door heat exchangers, and more. MistLX and MistEX provide scalable, flexible deployments with extended battery life, while Brick-TS1X adds multi-channel vibration and process monitoring.
Software
UpCastCM™ is a condition monitoring software that transforms high-resolution HVAC condition data into actionable insight. Cloud-based analytics, secure DSP processing, and enterprise-grade architecture ensure accurate diagnostics at scale. Data is organized by asset, prioritized by severity, and maintenance plans are created by our reliability maintenance experts, so your teams know exactly what to fix, when to fix it, and why.
Experts
Veteran reliability analysts monitor your equipment’s health data daily to separate real signals from noise. With decades of data center experience, they validate findings, set alarm thresholds, provide root-cause diagnostics, and deliver clear maintenance recommendations that turn wireless condition monitoring into a reliability program.
Complete Condition Visibility
Our MistEX & MistLX offer 3-in-1 monitoring of your vital operation assets.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonic condition monitoring identifies early-stage failure signs on slow-speed data center assets, including cooling tower fans, gearboxes, and fan shafts. By detecting friction and wear at the ultrasonic level, even subtle issues are identified long before they escalate.
Lubrication optimization
Slow-speed bearing faults
Low-frequency vibration monitoring helps detect imbalances, misalignment, and loose parts in slow-moving machines.
IP69-rated
FFT spectrum & waveform
Temperature monitoring data reveals early signs of overheating, which is a key indicator of stress or impending asset failure.

How Our HVAC Asset Monitoring Works
We don’t just mail off sensors and send you on your way. UpTime Solutions partners with you to build a complete reliability program, ensuring our products integrate seamlessly with your existing workflow.
1. Assess
We regularly audit your facility to identify any critical assets. We define the monitoring scope to ensure maximum ROI before deployment begins.
2. Install
UpTime will quickly install HVAC data center monitoring solutions with minimal disruption to your facility. Our veteran analysts will set thresholds so that assets are configured with a reliability context from day one.
3. Connect
Sensors securely stream data to our UpCastCM platform without complex IT involvement, giving you instant remote visibility into asset health on an easy-to-use software.
4. Analyze
Algorithms trigger alerts that are sent to our expert analysts for data review and early fault identification. Instead of receiving false alarms, you’ll get vetted and verified alerts.
5. Collaborate
Experts work alongside your team to interpret findings and provide guidance on actions, building your reliability culture and trust in your maintenance program.
Built for Data Centers, Proven Across Decades of Mission-Critical Operations
Prescriptive Action
UpTime goes beyond alarms and trending by delivering fault-specific diagnostics, severity classification, and actionable maintenance recommendations. Our experienced analysts don’t operate on guesswork. Instead, we validate every action.
Our rugged sensors are designed to perform reliably in extreme temperatures, humidity variation, and airflow turbulence common in data center HVAC systems, from central plants to white space cooling.
Delivers reliable fault detection on equipment operating down to 1 RPM, including cooling tower fans, pump shafts, gearboxes, and heat-rejection systems where conventional monitoring struggles.

Proven Performance Across Industries
Case Study:
How a Fortune 500 company worked with UpTime Solutions to detect faults earlier and
extend asset life.
Situation
The company needed a way to reduce unplanned downtime and plan scheduled maintenance that made sense based on data, not guesswork. The traditional monitoring tools they were using were missing early-stage wear, leaving the team to rely on reactive maintenance.
Result
- Early detection of an asset operating at 34 RPM was able to prevent a failure likely to happen within six months.
- Data-driven proactive maintenance scheduling reduced the downtime of assets.
- Timely intervention led to lower repair costs and extended asset life.
- Reliability culture enhanced as the company now has confidence in monitoring its slow-speed assets and scheduling maintenance with precision.
Problem
- The facility was large, making the project a bit more difficult.
- Early-stage faults on slow-speed assets were going undetected.
- Limited visibility into critical low-RPM equipment.
- Risk of unplanned downtime and costly repairs due to reactive maintenance.
Solution
UpTime deployed 3-in-1 wireless sensors across the facility to monitor ultrasound, vibration, and temperature in real time. This allowed:
- Ultrasonic monitoring: Detect friction, gear mesh issues, and bearing wear at low RPMs before vibration signals appear.
- Low-frequency vibration monitoring: Identify imbalance, misalignment, and looseness in slow-moving machines.
- Temperature monitoring: Reveal early signs of overheating to prevent stress or impending failure.
UpTime’s expert analysts helped the company interpret the data, providing prescriptive insights and actionable recommendations that work.
Result
- Early detection of a lime kiln reducer operating at 34 RPM, preventing a likely failure within six months.
- Reduced downtime through proactive maintenance scheduling.
- Lower repair costs and extended equipment life due to timely intervention.
- Enhanced reliability culture: the mill now has confidence in monitoring its slow-speed assets and scheduling maintenance with precision.
