Neuron Soundware: detecting machine failures early combining sound, AI and IoT technologies

Project description

Integrating AI and edge computing to automatically detect machine failures

Machines have moving parts that produce sound and vibration. These outputs change when the machine is not working properly. The Czech SME NEURONSW has developed advanced monitoring and control ‘brainware’ for mechanical machines that integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyse sound and other parameters, such as a diagnostic auditory cortex. The hardware is integrated with embedded edge computing and connected to a cloud-based platform for automatic detection of machine failures with nearly 100 % accuracy. The EIC-funded Neuron Soundware (NSW) project will support the team in optimising the platform and bringing it to market to support an AI-powered revolution in Industry 4.0 automated anomaly detection.

Objective

NSW is an AI-based acoustic and vibration diagnostic technology for early detection of broken machines and process monitoring, providing unparalleled insight into the operation of mechanical systems. Combined with its large-scale applicability and ease of use, it disrupts the way machines are diagnosed, facilitating industrial sustainability and catering to the needs of Industry 4.0. Our technology acts as an auditory cortex, understanding audio signals and detecting salient problems, delivering highly reliable results with 99.6% accuracy. NSW's integrated hardware with embedded edge software and cloud-based software platform automatically detects machine faults before other methods, preventing costly downtime and unnecessary maintenance. Our detection process utilizes our proprietary audio dataset, which contains terabytes of data and is continuously expanded with each new anomaly, improving the accuracy of the algorithms, the faults addressed and the types of machines.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
