Most organizations have at least one skilled maintenance person who can step onto the factory floor and sense— through sight, sound, smell, vibration, and temperature—the conditions in the factory. This person can tell in an instant that “The feeder on number 2 is hanging up a little this morning, so we’d better look at it.” The human senses of an experienced person are the best detection systems available today. If a human can hear that something is wrong because the sound has changed from its normal state, then Squarehead’s technology can provide super hearing, both on site or by remote access, to pin point where that noise is originating. Such super hearing may be especially useful in noisy and complex sound environments, where different noise sources greatly impair the ability to distinguish which machinery is producing a faulty noise.
