Your plant is leaking
right now.
You paid to compress
all of it.
The problem
The US Department of Energy puts leakage at 20–30% of compressor output in a poorly maintained system, against the 5–10% a well-run one should hold. The difference is paid for in electricity every hour the compressors run, and almost none of it is visible or audible on a working floor.
No deck, no demo, nothing to sell you yet. We want to hear how inspection and repair actually work where you are.
The core problem
Why the annual sweep leaves money on the floor.
Coverage stops where the technician does
A handheld pass reaches what one person can safely stand near during a scheduled shift. Overhead headers, tight cell enclosures and crowded machine bays get skipped, year after year.
One pass a year is a snapshot
A leak that opens in February runs until the audit in November finds it. Nothing in the nine months between notices, and the meter does not care that the audit is not due yet.
A found leak is not a fixed leak
The finding still has to survive the work-order queue. When production priorities and the next breakdown compete for the same people, the leak usually loses.
What we’re building
Find what
the rounds miss.
Prove it got fixed.
Three requirements come before everything else in the design: reach the parts of the plant a handheld pass cannot, work while production works, and come back often enough to prove a repair held. If we cannot beat the inspection you already run on coverage, time and disruption, there is no reason to hire us.
Reach what the rounds skip
Overhead headers, congested machinery and the lines that never got checked, on a repeat pass frequent enough that a new leak does not sit until next November.
Nothing stops for us
No shutdown, no quiet window, no production slot to book. An inspection that costs you downtime is an inspection that gets postponed, and that is how leaks survive in the first place.
A queue worth acting on
Each finding tagged well enough to walk straight to, ranked so the team knows what earns the next repair window, and re-checked on the following pass so fixed means fixed.
Under the hood
Ultrasonic and thermal sensing, with neuromorphic and custom FPGA processing so a finding resolves in real time on the machine instead of in a cloud batch days later. The mobile carrier is not chosen yet. Ask and we will walk you through all of it — but hardware only earns its place if it solves a practical problem, and none of this is the reason to buy.
Where we are today
In development, looking for design partners
There is no off-the-shelf product to ship today, and nothing on this page is a measured result or a savings estimate. We are testing and validating the sensor architecture, and we would rather do it against real plants than on a bench.
If you run utilities or maintenance for a facility with a compressed-air system, three answers would teach us more than anything else:
- How often do you audit for leaks today?
- Of the leaks you find, how many are repaired within 30 days?
- Who owns the compressed-air budget, and who owns the repair budget?
