SONAPHONE DataSuite
Software for Predictive Maintenance Tasks
Is software developed by SONOTEC, a company based in Germany, designed to work with ultrasonic inspection devices. It is used in predictive maintenance applications, with its main functions being to store, analyze, and manage measurement data collected from SONAPHONE devices.
🔧 Feature SONAPHONE DataSuite
- Data Storage and Analysis: Displays measurement results such as ultrasonic levels, spectrograms, and data trends to support maintenance decision-making.
- Route Management: Enables efficient creation and management of inspection routes within factories or facilities.
- Data Synchronization: Allows easy synchronization of data between SONAPHONE devices and the DataSuite software.
- Reporting and Data Export: Generates reports and exports data in CSV format for further analysis.
- User and Access Management: In the server version, user roles and access permissions can be defined and managed individually.
Software for the Management of Predictive Maintenance Tasks

SONAPHONE DataSuite – Software Facts & Features
- Central platform for organizing measurement data from different measurement points
- Modern web application for data display in standard web browsers – available as desktop and server version
- Intuitive and clear routing through to optimally coordinated software and apps
- Asset tree and route planning for holistic management of all relevant measurement points and plants, as well as condition-based planning of maintenance activities
- Inspection history with results of the last 4 measurements that can be called up directly at the inspection point
- Measurement point information as modern dashboard view
- Integrated data viewer DataSuite V – display and analysis of plant data with the help of threshold values, alarm levels, status displays and trend analyses
- Integrated measurement data analysis tool – documentation and tracking of maintenance activities
Functions
1. Mapping of the plant structure with inspection points (asset tree)
2. Specification of inspection point details (context data, alignment method)
3. Compiling routes for systematic testing of the plant
4. Synchronize test point information with SONAPHONE device (historical data, status, context data)
5. Monitoring of characteristic values for condition assessment (trend, status via traffic lights)
Intuitive Operation
Simple interaction and intuitive operation are particularly close to our hearts, which is why we had numerous maintenance staff on board from the very beginning when developing the SONAPHONE DataSuite and all apps. We have repeatedly tested and improved the workflows from inspection to report in the real world. All SONAPHONE apps and software were developed together and interlock optimally. Benefit from intuitive workflows and a clear presentation to save valuable working time, avoid unnecessary errors and increase operational reliability.
WORKFLOW
SONAPHONE AssetExpert is the special mobile app for expanding SONAPHONE devices forroute-based data acquisition as well as on-site inspection and evaluation of asset condition. The SONAPHONE AssetExpert app and the SONAPHONE DataSuite software are optimally matched to each other. This makes it easy to synchronize with each other, shortening workflows before, during and after the inspection. Has the condition of the asset changed? The app provides answers directly on site. New measurements can be compared with historical values and the condition assessed immediately.
Simple and fast Data Transfer
Workflow of a Route-Based Measurement
- Create assets and routes in the SONAPHONE DataSuite and shedule the maintenance activities
- Inspect routes with AssetExpert App on the SONAPHONE
- Analyse the asset health in the SONAPHONE DataSuite
Free Measurement)
- Inspect assets with SONAPHONE® and LeakExpert® or SteamExpert App
- Transfer data to the SONAPHONE® DataSuite and analyze them
- Add measured data to existing routes or create new routes or projects
