Acoustic AI · Predictive Maintenance

Hear failure
before it happens.

Squintec listens to your industrial plant 24/7. Our acoustic AI learns the sound of healthy operation and warns you days, sometimes weeks, before a small anomaly becomes an unplanned shutdown.

LIVE · ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE HEARTBEAT: STABLE
The cost of silence

Unplanned downtime is the silent killer of process industries.

Existing sensors leave gaps. Operators can't be everywhere. Every hour a critical asset stops, the bill climbs into six figures.

67%
of industrial sites suffer at least one unplanned outage every month.

The Solution · Heartbeat

From sound to schedule, in four steps.

We retrofit non-invasive acoustic sensors across your plant, learn the heartbeat of healthy operation, and surface anomalies in time to act.

01 · CAPTURE

Listen everywhere.

Non-invasive microphones, retrofit in hours. No drilling, no rewiring, no production interruption.

02 · ANALYZE

Learn the heartbeat.

Patented Fraunhofer IDMT acoustic AI learns the "golden sound" of each asset and detects every deviation.

03 · ALARM

Quiet by default.

Anomaly scores stream into your dashboards in real time. Loud only when something genuinely matters.

04 · PLAN

Plan on evidence.

Forecasts with uncertainty bands give your team weeks, not minutes, to act. They also let you extend maintenance intervals safely, with continuous listening as the safety net underneath.

Longer maintenance intervals
Two ways it pays

Fewer interventions. And no surprises.

Fixed maintenance intervals are a bet on the calendar. Continuous listening lets you stretch them, because the asset tells you when it actually needs attention. The unexpected stays part of plant life. Heartbeat makes most of it visible early enough to plan for.

Why Squintec

Built where chemistry meets acoustics.

01

Validated in the field.

12+ months in continuous operation at a working chemical plant, not a lab demo. Real signal, real noise, real edge cases.

02

Patented acoustic AI.

Built on Fraunhofer IDMT's protected research. Our models learn each asset's unique acoustic fingerprint: fully automatic anomaly detection, no rules to maintain.

03

The right team.

A rare synthesis of chemical-process operators and acoustic hardware/software engineers. We've sat on both sides of the alarm.

A 30-minute call

Tell us about one asset that costs you the most when it stops.

We'll come back within two business days with a tailored pilot scope and honest expectations on what acoustic AI can, and can't, do for it.
