Looking for a Tractian alternative? What to compare in 2026
DHMSCare is an alternative to Tractian and Augury: it pairs wireless vibration sensors with AI diagnosis and its own AI agent, Mina, with 90-second self-serve deployment and no implementation fee. Below, the two systems sit side by side, using only facts each company publishes.
Tractian and DHMSCare, fact by fact
| Tractian | DHMSCare | |
|---|---|---|
| What the sensors measure | Vibration, ultrasound, temperature and magnetic field data (Smart Trac sensors) | Vibration and temperature; the DS320, DS321, DS400 and DS420 add speed. No ultrasound, motor current or magnetic flux |
| How data leaves the sensor | LTE-M or NB-IoT cellular, sent to the cloud without the plant network | Industrial-grade Bluetooth 5.0 Class 1 to a gateway, typically 60–80 m inside a plant; the gateway uses Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G, by model |
| Mounting | Magnetic or epoxy mount | Industrial adhesive or a mounting block; magnetic on the DS400 and DS420 |
| What an alert becomes | A work order carrying the diagnosis, severity level and recommended actions | A plain-language explanation from Mina of what to inspect and what to fix |
| Getting started | Sensors install in minutes | Self-serve deployment in 90 seconds, with no implementation fee |
| Where the data runs | Directly to the cloud; hosting location not stated | In the cloud in your country or region by default; on-premises on request |
What to check before you choose
Start from the faults that matter on your machines, then check that each sensor measures the signal that reveals them.
Check the link from machine to cloud. Cellular links depend on mobile coverage at each machine, and gateway links depend on radio range to the gateway.
Check what happens after an alert. Some teams want a work order at once; others want a clear explanation for the maintenance system they already run.
How DHMSCare handles it
Each DHMSCare sensor mounts near a bearing and is linked to its measuring point with one phone tap. Where the radio signal is weak, a DR100 repeater carries it on to the gateway.
Mina explains each fault in plain words and names the next check. Every paid plan includes REST API read access, so your own maintenance software can read the results.
In real plants, DHMSCare alerts are accurate in 90%+ of cases, and AI fault diagnosis is correct in 85%+. Compare all vendors on our alternatives page, or read the short answer on Tractian and Augury alternatives and the DS310 specification.
Questions buyers also ask
Can DHMSCare run without the plant network?
Yes. The DG311 gateway sends its data through 4G, so it needs no plant network, only mobile coverage. The DG310 uses the plant's Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Does DHMSCare measure ultrasound or magnetic flux?
No. DHMSCare measures vibration and temperature, and four sensor models also read speed. If a machine needs ultrasound or magnetic flux, tell us before you plan the coverage.
Can we start on one line before a full rollout?
Yes. Start with one production line and add lines once the first results are in. A trial discount is available on request.
