Pinpoint precision for ultrasonic noise

Keep your rotating equipment and compressed air systems running reliably. Spot helps detect pinhole air leaks and faulty bearings before they cause bigger problems. 

Spot uses an acoustic imager to detect noise anomolies

Listen to what your equipment has to tell you

Noise anomalies can be an early indicator of impending equipment failure, but leaks, vibrations, and electrical discharge are typically undetectable by people. Acoustic inspections with Spot enable you to autonomously monitor for sound signature changes to prevent unscheduled maintenance.

If Spot can find these issues for us in between our changeovers in between different production runs, we’re able to catch those issues ahead of time that allows us to be more predictive, more preventative rather than reactive.

“It’s one platform, but we can use it for partial discharge inspections, acoustics assessments, and 3D site scanning, which could save a lot in upfront costs. And the robot is designed in such a way that you can swap out the payload in five minutes and move on to the next task.”
