Case Studies
U.S. Case Study: Automotive Assembly Line Acoustic Diagnostics
A major U.S.-based vehicle manufacturer deployed our portable acoustic cameras during engine assembly QA. Multiple leak paths were identified in gasket installations using frequency-based beamforming at 2–4 kHz. The plant reduced noise-related warranty issues by 38% within six months.
U.S. Case Study: Energy Facility Transformer Hum Monitoring
In a Midwest electrical utility, transformer acoustic emissions were monitored to predict insulation degradation. Our beamforming systems detected harmonic patterns that led to early intervention and avoided a $2M failure.
Canadian Case Study: Aerospace Engine Inspection
A Canadian aerospace firm implemented our stationary acoustic camera units in their jet engine test cell. Beamforming helped distinguish combustion instability sounds from structural vibrations, improving test accuracy and helping meet FAA validation protocols.
