TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Critical facilities and infrastructures face growing risks from equipment failures, costly downtime, and safety hazards, while traditional inspections often lack the speed and accuracy required to address these challenges. This innovation combines physical non-destructive testing (NDT) with AIoT-driven predictive analytics to deliver continuous, real-time monitoring that enhances safety, efficiency, and resilience.

Engineered with business continuity and rapid incident response at its core, the system detects early anomalies, prioritizes risks, and enables proactive maintenance to reduce disruptions and ensure compliance. Its key advantage lies in a proprietary dataset of over 10 million hours of real-world operational data from HVAC, motor, and pump systems in metropolitan environments, enriched with expert domain labelling. This unique resource powers machine learning models with superior accuracy, outperforming conventional predictive tools that lack real-world grounding.

The platform is also the first industrial transformer-based multimodal AI system, integrating diverse sensing modalities with unmatched precision. Its scalable, modular design supports multi-sensing, multi-modal applications across diverse sectors. By shifting from reactive or scheduled maintenance to predictive, condition-based asset management, the solution bridges gaps left by inspections and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, resulting in safer operations, optimized resource use, and measurable ROI.

The technology owner is seeking collaboration with industrial partners, including property owners, operators of power plants and utilities, transportation providers, government agencies, and industrial facility managers, who aim to minimize downtime, extend asset lifecycles, and strengthen resilience against failures.
