Detect bearing degradation, raceway micro-spalling, and rotational faults directly inside your existing motor controller. In 375 bytes of RAM. Zero cloud dependencies. Zero recurring SaaS fees.
Runs as a static C firmware library inside your existing motor driver MCU (STM32, TI, NXP, ESP32). Eliminates $150+ external vibration pods.
Trips safety relays and writes to Modbus holding registers at the edge weeks before catastrophic mechanical seizure occurs.
Deterministic fixed-point arithmetic with zero Wi-Fi/cellular reliance, zero IT firewall disputes, and zero recurring cloud subscriptions.
Why rotating equipment OEMs are replacing $200 external sensor pods with native embedded condition monitoring running directly on their existing motor control board.
| Architecture Attribute | AC Engine 5.0 (Embedded Core) | External Wireless Pucks (SKF / Banner / ifm) |
|---|---|---|
| Unit OEM BOM Cost | Advantage $2 - $5 (Existing MCU + $2 SPI MEMS) | High BOM $150 - $300+ per monitored machine point |
| Physical Integration | Seamless Surface-mounted on internal motor control PCB | Vulnerable External pod, magnetic base, or drilled casing stud |
| Power Source & Lifespan | Mains Powered Powered directly by drive board (0 batteries) | Battery Risk Lithium cells; requires field replacement every 1-2 yrs |
| Defect Trip & Protection Latency | 1.28 Seconds Direct hardware relay / Modbus fault trip | Delayed 15-min to 24-hr batch cloud polling latency |
| Cloud & Gateway Dependency | 100% Air-Gapped Zero cloud, zero IT/firewall clearance | IT Barrier Requires cellular gateways, SIM cards, plant Wi-Fi |
| Recurring SaaS Licensing | $0 Recurring One-time NRE + per-unit production royalty | SaaS Tax $10 - $25 per machine / month recurring subscription |
| OEM Value Capture | Your Brand Sold as your native "Smart Machine" feature | Disintermediated 3rd-party vendor owns customer portal & data |
Engineered for VP of Engineering and firmware teams to evaluate our pre-compiled static library on your test dynos with zero integration risk.
Standard 2-page mutual agreement protecting your proprietary kinematics and our compiled static library.
We deliver AC_Engine_v5.0_Commercial_SDK.zip containing stripped .a binaries for your exact MCU architecture.
Link the static binary into your motor firmware in under 10 minutes. Run it on your dyno to verify 0 false alarms and sub-second defect trips.
Upon bench qualification, transition smoothly to production volume licensing ($3 to $5 per unit royalty). Zero recurring cloud fees.
