The full story
This open-source condition-monitoring "copilot" connects an industrial vibration and current sensor (ST's STWIN.box) to Claude through an MCP server, so you can ask a machine "how it's feeling" in plain language, backed by real measurements. It does bearing-fault detection and ISO 10816 severity ratings. The demo diagnoses a hairdryer.
