What is Amazon Monitron?
Amazon Monitron is a complete end-to-end solution for predictive maintenance of industrial equipment. Unlike pure software services, Monitron delivers the complete infrastructure: IoT sensors for vibration and temperature, a gateway for cloud connectivity, an ML-based analysis service, and a mobile app for maintenance technicians.
Monitron sensors are attached directly to machine housings and continuously measure vibration and temperature. Data is transmitted through the gateway to the AWS cloud, where ML models detect anomalies and assess machine condition. Maintenance teams receive notifications on the mobile app when action is needed.
Core Features
- IoT Sensors: Battery-powered sensors for vibration and temperature with multi-year battery life
- Gateway: Bluetooth-to-cloud bridge supporting up to 20 sensors per gateway
- ML Analysis: Automatic anomaly detection and condition assessment without ML expertise
- Mobile App: Real-time condition information and alerts for maintenance technicians
- ISO 20816 Compliance: Machine condition assessment according to international standards
Typical Use Cases
Factory-Wide Condition Monitoring: Hundreds of Monitron sensors monitor all critical machines in a factory. Maintenance teams see the condition of every machine in real time and prioritize maintenance work based on ML recommendations.
Retrofitting Legacy Equipment: Monitron sensors can be retrofitted to existing machines without wiring or modifications. The battery-powered sensors only need Bluetooth range to the gateway.
Remote Locations: For equipment at remote sites, Monitron provides centralized condition information. Maintenance teams plan deployments specifically instead of routinely checking on-site.
Advantages
- Complete solution with hardware, software, and ML: no assembly required
- Installation in minutes without wiring or specialized expertise
- ML models detect anomalies automatically without configuration
- Scalable from individual machines to entire factories

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Amazon Monitron?
Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end solution for predictive maintenance consisting of IoT sensors, a gateway, and an ML cloud service. The sensors measure vibration and temperature on industrial equipment, and the cloud service analyzes the data with ML and alerts on anomalies.
What hardware is included with Amazon Monitron?
The system includes Monitron sensors (measuring vibration and temperature), a Monitron gateway (connecting sensors via Bluetooth to the cloud through Wi-Fi/Ethernet), and a mobile app for technicians. The sensors are battery-powered and last several years.
What types of machines is Monitron suitable for?
Monitron is particularly suitable for rotating machinery such as motors, pumps, compressors, fans, gearboxes, and conveyor belts. The sensors detect anomalies in vibration patterns and temperature curves that indicate bearing damage, imbalance, or overheating.
