Acoustic Inspections

Automate acoustic imaging to efficiently identify and repair leaks, malfunctioning equipment, and other noise anomalies.

Pinpoint precision for pinhole leaks

Keep your compressed air systems running reliably. Spot helps detect pinhole air and gas leaks before they can cause big problems.

Noise anomalies can be an early indicator of impending equipment failure, but leaks 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.

Acoustic Monitoring

Detect noise anomalies around the clock to catch leaks before they escalate

"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.”
