Industrial IoT

3DSignals approached SAGE right after they received seed investment from Grove Ventures and decided to present their acoustic IoT solution at the Tube and Pipe trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany. The company founders were uncertain when it came to bringing their breakthrough high-tech solution to a low-tech traditional and conservative market like steel tubes and pipes manufacturing. They were overwhelmed and had little knowledge about how to reach potential customers in the field of manufacturing.

SAGE provided them with every marketing and sales tool to help them succeed at the show, which 3DSignals then achieved with flying colors.

3DSignals’ acoustic monitoring and deep learning technology monitors sensory data from production line machinery, identifies anomalies, and classifies patterns of equipment failure to predicts and prevent issues before they interrupt production.
