DHMSCare vs SKF Enlight or SKF Axios: what is the difference?
DHMSCare and SKF Axios, a wireless predictive maintenance solution from SKF, both use sensors that measure three-axis vibration and temperature, and DHMSCare adds 90-second self-serve deployment with no implementation fee. SKF lists SKF Axios among its inactive or obsolete condition-monitoring products (skf.com, read October 2026).

The sensors, line by line
SKF describes SKF Axios as an end-to-end predictive maintenance solution from SKF and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Its wireless sensors measure three-axis vibration and temperature on a battery SKF rates at five years, and its gateways pass the data to the cloud over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. SKF states that support stays available while a product is inactive.
The DHMSCare DS310 measures three-axis vibration from 0 to 6000 Hz. It is rated IP69, the highest rating against dust and high-pressure water, and its battery lasts five years after activation. It uses industrial-grade Bluetooth 5.0 Class 1, typically 60–80 m from the gateway inside a plant and about 300 m in open line of sight.
Where the two differ in practice
The bigger differences sit around the sensor. DHMSCare deployment is self-serve and takes 90 seconds, and there is no implementation fee. The platform runs in the cloud in your own country or region by default, with on-premises deployment on request.
DHMSCare also suits a pilot-first rollout: start on one line, prove the value, then add line after line. Mina, the industrial AI agent, explains each alert in plain words and tells your team what to do next.
What results look like
DHMSCare reports measurable accuracy: its alerts are right 90%+ of the time, and its AI fault diagnosis 85%+. With multi-expert review, where several AI experts check the same fault, diagnosis rises from that 85%+ base to 90%+.

Questions buyers also ask
Do DHMSCare gateways come separately?
Yes, gateways are part of the hardware order. One DG310 or DG311 gateway connects 60 sensors at most, and the quote lists sensors and gateways together.
What happens if the network drops?
The gateway stores readings while the network is down and uploads them when it returns. The platform also shows when a sensor or gateway goes offline.
Can DHMSCare run next to an SKF system we already have?
Yes. Put DHMSCare on the machines your current system does not cover yet. Its sensors mount without any change to the machine.
