The Initial Health Report is automatically generated by the Tractian platform as soon as a new sensor starts collecting vibration data from an asset. It provides a reliable technical analysis based on real data, built from the first few days of continuous monitoring.
Its main goal is to support the initial configuration of the asset on the platform, ensuring that data collection is accurate and that technical parameters are properly set for the alert system to function correctly.
How to access the report
Go to the Insights tab at the top of the platform;
Select the monitored asset;
Click on "Initial Health Report."
Report Sections
The Initial Report is divided into sections that help understand and validate the machine’s behavior:
Title and review status
At the top of the screen, you’ll see:
The report title: "Initial Health Report – [Asset Name]"
The review status:
Not reviewed: The report has not yet been validated by anyone on the team.
Reviewed: The report has already been analyzed and approved.
This status helps the team track which assets still need to be reviewed.
Asset information
A card with the main technical data of the asset, which provides context for the analysis and ensures the user is viewing the correct asset’s report.
Health Snapshot
This section gives an overall assessment of the asset’s vibration condition based on the collected data. The classification is color-coded:
Normal (green): Data matches expected behavior.
Observe (yellow): Slight variations, still acceptable.
Warning (orange): Signs that require closer analysis.
Danger (red): Strong signs of high vibration or behavior outside the standard.
This classification is generated automatically using statistical patterns and a large database of similar assets monitored by Tractian.
Frequency band vibration analysis
Here you’ll find data separated by vibration type:
Frequency Band | What it indicates |
Low Frequency | Misalignment, imbalance, or structural looseness |
High Frequency | Bearing failures or poor lubrication |
Waveform Impulse | Mechanical impacts, shocks, or looseness |
Each band shows:
Average recorded value
Corresponding classification (normal, observation, etc.)
A graph or bar to help interpret the data
This analysis helps identify typical behaviors of mechanical failures or abnormal patterns early in the monitoring.
Asset health specifications
The platform analyzes the asset’s vibrational behavior and automatically suggests:
Detected modulations: Dominant frequencies found in the data
Suggested rotation: Estimated asset rotation, based on vibrational patterns
Recommended configurations: Technical settings that calibrate alerts and limits
You can:
Accept the platform’s suggestions (recommended if they make sense for the asset’s operation)
Edit the values manually (if you know specific parameters that need correction)
Accepting or adjusting these specifications is essential for accurate future alerts. The quality of insights depends directly on this initial setup.
Available actions
At the end of the report, you can:
Create an inspection: To schedule an in-person check based on the findings
Create an event: To record an anomaly, adjustment, or relevant observation
Add comments: To document decisions or technical notes
View activity history: See who reviewed or edited the report and when
Post-review actions
Once you've finished reading the report, follow these steps:
Review the suggested specifications (rotation, modulation, etc.)
Edit the values if needed, based on your technical knowledge
Approve the settings by clicking “Accept”
Mark the report as reviewed
This process ensures that asset monitoring begins with a reliable and personalized configuration based on its real conditions.
