Acoustic monitoring
The missing piece of Industry 4.0.

Every process, every fault emits a unique sound.

The missing piece

Existing vision, thermal and input parameters see part of the picture.

Conventional Industry 4.0 monitoring fuses what machines can measure and what cameras can see. One facet stays absent - the sound every process makes as it runs.

Acoustics complete the fusion.

Industry 4.0 data-fusion diagram: Vision, Thermal and Input parameters converge on a central data-fusion node, with Acoustics completing the geometry.
The acoustic intelligence journey

Automation Acoustics - from human listening to industrial AI.

Experienced operators can hear when something is wrong. Automation Acoustics turns that tacit skill into real-time, transferable process intelligence - and this is the journey that got us there.

A problem identified

"Good operators can hear when things go wrong. How do we transfer that acquired skill to an expanding workforce?"

2014

We tested the idea

Privately funded research commissioned with a university to determine whether the idea had commercial and technical potential.

2017

Research validation

An Australian Research Council Linkage Grant ($1 Million +) validated the research direction.
