AQTech

What AQTech does

AQTech is a Brazilian-headquartered engineering company founded in 2004 that provides condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions for energy generation assets, including wind turbines, hydropower plants, and synchronous condensers. The company serves more than 100 customers across Latin America, Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, including major utilities such as Iberdrola, EDP, Eletrobras, Statkraft, and Enel. Its core product portfolio consists of the VibraOne family of condition monitoring systems (Wind, Hydro, Core), the HubOne wind turbine hub monitoring module, the OneBreeze predictive maintenance platform, and partial discharge monitoring solutions distributed under partnership with Megger/Power Diagnostix.

AQTech combines proprietary hardware (including its own AQT-branded accelerometer sensor line) with software analytics and a human-in-the-loop Condition Analysis Center (CAC) that applies AI techniques to vibration and multi-sensor data for fault diagnosis and remaining useful life prognosis. The business model is primarily enterprise sales with a mix of hardware sales (CMS installations, sensors), recurring software and data services (CAC subscriptions, OneBreeze platform), and professional services (remote/temporary monitoring, diagnostic analysis). Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales and a network of regional distribution partners across more than 15 countries, supported by ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications and offices in Florianópolis (Brazil), Winter Garden (Florida, US), and Porto (Portugal).

Core offering

AQTech provides integrated condition monitoring systems (CMS) and predictive maintenance solutions for energy generation assets, including wind turbines, hydropower plants, and synchronous condensers. The portfolio combines proprietary AQT accelerometer sensors, multi-modal data acquisition (vibration, acoustic, temperature, oil), AI-driven analytics via the OneBreeze platform, and the Condition Analysis Center service, sold alongside distributed Megger/Power Diagnostix partial discharge products.

Product overview

AQTech offers a portfolio of asset monitoring and condition monitoring solutions for the energy generation sector, primarily targeting hydropower and wind power industries. The core product family includes VibraOne Wind (CMS for wind farms monitoring vibration, temperature, sound, and oil), VibraOne Hydro (CMS for hydropower plants), and VibraOne Core (rotating machinery monitoring). These integrate with specialized modules like HubOne (wind turbine hub monitoring), the Condition Analysis Center (CAC - AI-powered data analysis service), and partial discharge monitoring solutions (ICMmonitor, ICMmonitor Portable, ICMsystem). The OneBreeze platform serves as the predictive maintenance interface across the portfolio. The company also distributes Megger/Power Diagnostix partial discharge products as an authorized partner.
