Services and Sample Projects

Access a Full Suite of Engineering Competencies.

Whether you need contract engineering specialists to fill in gaps on your team, a full development team for that project stuck on the back burner or a consultant to advise regarding your technology strategy, we can help.

Clarify your strategy, curate technology options and develop, test and validate solutions.

See below for a list of services and sample projects.

Consulting

Access a network of professionals with expertise in all aspects of sensor definition and development for machine health. We’ll share our deep knowledge of sensor technologies, signal processing, vibration-based machine health and data engineering.

We can help you assess and define a strategy for effective condition monitoring of your machines.

Data Engineering

Advanced data engineering can lead to expanded fault coverage, higher resolution diagnostics and earlier warning of emerging problems. We can work with existing monitoring and control signals or recommend data acquisition systems to gather additional data if needed.

By applying data engineering approaches to machine signals, we can help your team develop high-confidence health indicators with predictive insights.

Our network of data engineers has successfully applied machine learning approaches to machine health problems for a variety of equipment types and industries, including:

  • Factory automation

  • Marine diesel

  • Mining

  • Oil and gas

  • Transportation

Sensor Design

With over 37 years of vibration sensor design experience, 30 patents and 150 technical publications, our collaborators possess a deep knowledge of vibration measurement, sensor technologies, signal processing and mechanical (i.e., packaging) dynamics.
