Brüel & Kjær Vibro (B&K Vibro), supplier of condition monitoring solutions for rotating machinery, has delivered a range of product enhancements for its VCM-3/SETPOINT® offerings to deliver a single, integrated SETPOINT® condition monitoring system (CMS) solution.

These improvements will provide additional value, by allowing a single view of all asset types, delivering faster analysis and diagnosis of impending issues, which means improved uptime for end users.
