Connecting the DOTs
Efficient condition monitoring and monitoring solutions for pumps
Efficient condition monitoring and monitoring solutions for pumps
Welcome to the DOT platform – your solution for efficient condition monitoring and sensor-based monitoring of rotating equipment. Our innovative technology enables pump manufacturers and plant operators to keep an eye on the condition of their pumps at all times and to react proactively to potential problems. By integrating advanced sensor technology into the mechanical seals, we offer a reliable solution to detect wear and prevent failures. With the DOT platform, you can thus optimise the operation of your pumping equipment, extend the service life of your pumps and minimise unexpected costs.
In our product packages, our previous measurement technology platform BeMoS one is combined with suitable sensors and components to monitor a wide range of potential causes of faults on rotating equipment.
The DOT platform’s advanced ultrasonic measurement technology makes it possible: space- and energy-saving, as well as cost-efficient and scalable.
Installed directly on the pump, there will be several variants of the DOT that record different measurement data. This information is then sent to the control room, for example, and can also be accessed directly via a web app. In order to also be able to offer mechanical seal monitoring via this new platform, the sealDOT will follow the vibDOT next.

The Dot Companion app is an application for use on mobile devices such as smartphones. Its primary purpose is to set up the communication interface with a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA system), set measurement parameters and display measurement data from BestSens DOTs.
The app consists of different views, each of which performs specific functions. The following views are available:
List-View
Immerse yourself in an intuitive list view that seamlessly presents all sensors within your Bluetooth range. Instantly discern each sensor’s condition and threshold exceedances.
Sensor-View
Delve into the sensor view for detailed analysis of your sensor’s metrics. The selected metrics are presented on an intuitive dashboard, adding clarity and efficiency to your analysis. This view serves as your central access point for seamlessly navigating to the sensor settings and the event log, facilitating comprehensive management and control of the sensor data.
Event-Log
Unlock the full potential of your sensor with the event log. Comprehensive and secure storage of the latest sensor events right on your device. Build a seamless chronicle for your monitored asset, with options to select dates or periods and apply various filters for targeted data analysis.
The App is available at Google playstore:
In this respect, we are guided by the specifications of our customers. In addition to the vibDOT, there are the following components:
The interaction of the components enables the smooth integration of the DOT platform into your own process and server structure.
The splash-proof DOTbox contains a PoE switch for power supply and data connection of several DOT sensors as well as an LTE router if you want to rely on a mobile data connection.
The DOT platform is rounded off by software packages for mobile and stationary data connection. The DOT Companion app gives the user a quick overview of all DOTs within Bluetooth range and their status. With the app, one can pair with the active DOTs via Bluetooth and thus retrieve and visualise current measurement data as well as the events since the last connection.
The DOTserver software package is a container that contains various applications for receiving, storing and visualising the measurement data of the DOT sensors via MQTT. In addition, alarms and different notification paths can be configured. The DOTserver package can be installed on any PC or server, as it is based on Docker technology and can be set up almost anywhere in the world thanks to the internet connection. Customers with their own infrastructure can also fetch the measurement data directly from the DOTs via OPC-UA or MQTT and process them further in their own control centre, for example.
Both the vibDOT and the sealDOT have the advantage that they are connected to the switch via PoE. In contrast to a battery-powered solution, this enables a continuous data stream that can transmit results several times a minute. The sealDOT is attached directly to the housing via a thread and is not only able to measure the temperature on the pump housing, but also directly in the seal.
