Watch or listen to hear Luke Karnas, the Senior Director of Networking and Condition Monitoring at Banner Engineering, share expert insights into vibration sensors — extending from applications and challenges to solutions and success stories.
Industrial automation and predictive maintenance technologies continue to grow in popularity as industrial organizations contend with challenges ranging from safety, sustainability, and skilled labor shortages to downtime, quality, and costs. This growth fuels the growth of other technologies, including vibration sensors. The global vibration sensor market was valued at $6.57 billion in 2024 and is projected to achieve a value of $7.05 billion by the end of 2025 and $13.25 billion by the end of 2034.
We spoke with Luke Karnas, Senior Director of Networking and Condition Monitoring at Banner Engineering, to learn more. Here, Luke addresses the role that vibration sensors play in predictive maintenance, provides tips for overcoming common selection and implementation challenges, introduces Banner’s portfolio of vibration sensors, including the new QM30VT3 vibration sensors, and shares an application success story.
