Mobius and Mobius Institute

Mobius has helped thousands of people worldwide to master vibration analysis and shaft alignment.  We offer computer-based training products (in three languages), public and in-plant training courses (in eight languages), and distance learning courses.

The Mobius head office is in Australia, located about one hour from Melbourne, in the south-east of the country.  Mobius is a small company of just eight people (four in Australia, four in the United States).  We have training partners in 30 countries (and counting) and we have OEM partners and sales agents in over 50 countries.

As of July 2008 we have customers in over 90 countries, including some of the biggest (and smallest) companies in the world.  We have received State export awards in 2003, 2006 and 2007, plus Plant Engineering product of the year awards for iLearnVibration, iLearnInterpreter, and most recently, iLearnAlignment.

While there is one main developer of software and training material, many people have contributed greatly in the development of these products - and there will be on-going contributions by these and other specialists from around the world.

Jason Tranter
Managing Director/Founder
Melbourne, Victoria [Australia]

Jason Tranter is the founder of Mobius, and the main developer of the iLearnVibration, iLearnAlignment and Interpreter products (and more to come!), and the author of the vibration training course material and simulation software.

"If you have seen me speak at a conference, or during a training course, you will know just how enthusiastic and passionate I am about about vibration training.  For many years people have struggled with vibration analysis, never really gaining the results they desire, never really understanding the concepts and analyzer options.  Since 1999 I have been on a campaign to change that.  The self-paced courses and training products are practical and understandable.  It is fun to teach with them, and it is so rewarding to see people understand for the first time concepts that have eluded them for years."

Jason has been involved with condition monitoring since 1983.  He has written large scale vibration monitoring systems (on-line software, data collector software and automated diagnostic software) for one of the leading suppliers of such products for a number of years, and has written all of the user documentation for those products.  Jason has also delivered classroom training on vibration analysis and software products since the early 80's, and he has given technical papers on the subject at P/PM, Vibration Institute, IMC, VANZ, PdM and other conferences over the same period.

When Jason is not at his computer (or traveling the world) he is spending time with his two wonderful boys, James and Michael.
