audioPMD

audioPMD is a solution that uses spatial audio analytics powered by Machine Learning to detect anomalies in sound generated by wind turbines, power transformers and machine gear. The audioPMD.com platform is the one-stop shop for Your ultimate Predictive Maintenance solution.

PROBLEM
Predictive Maintenance for engine rooms has not been perfected nor wildly adopted due to high equipment costs and technological barriers. The ability to hear the mechanical malfunction happening in remote harsh environment and possibility to detect sound anomalies and their source was not yet possible at low cost or full automation level.

SOLUTION
audioPMD.com - low cost, high precision industrial 3D microphone system and spacial audio ML analytics platform designed for the marine, energy and defense sectors as a comprehensive Predictive Maintenance and Safety solution for deployments on the edge.

The audioPMD device installed in the engine room with properly trained ML models will detect anomalies in wind turbine generator set or vessel's engine work as well as possible problems with shaft gear, propeller, generator and power inverters.

KEY FEATURES (audioPMD & marinePMD):

  • Detection and separation of sound patterns in loud, echo-intense environment;
  • Non-intrusive deployment (install inside nacelle, magnet mounts);
  • Modules and options include thermal signature and gas presence monitoring, nacelle inclination and lightning (electromagnetic surcharge) detection modules.
  • ML models trained for specific engine types and their work at wide variety of load and environmental conditions;
  • Detection of shaft and propeller sound anomalies (vessel engine room);
  • Heat, gas presence and sound signature monitoring for all engine room systems;

The audioPMD and marinePMD product lines are designed for engine room monitoring and anomaly detection where loud and echo-rich environment requires dedicated hardware and software configuration. The similar yet completely different technology stands behind droneDetect and marineDetect product lines designed for tracking drones and vessels. 

KEY FEATURES (droneDetect & marineDetect):

  • Detection of extremely low sound intensity sources;
  • Seamless integration with radar domes 19” & 24”;
  • Low power, zero noise and low heat signature design;
