Systems and methods for monitoring the health of a rotating machine

A system for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a memory having processor-readable instructions therein;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions for:
• receiving, by the processor, identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and a portable vibration sensor mounted on the rotating machine, wherein the portable vibration sensor includes:
• a set of clamps having an opening for receiving a wireless vibration sensor;
• and
• a wireless vibration sensor mounted in the opening of the set of clamps,
• wherein the set of clamps are selectively clamped to the rotating machine;
• receiving, by the processor, vibration data from the portable vibration sensor during a test of the rotating machine, the received vibration data being associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the portable vibration sensor;
• comparing, by the processor, the received vibration data with known vibration data for the rotating machine;
• generating, by the processor, an alert if the received vibration data exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the known vibration data;
• generating, by the processor, a health report for the rotating machine based on the received vibration data, the health report including the received vibration data associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the portable vibration sensor, wherein the health report further includes the generated alert;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor, the health report to a user via a web portal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
