Sensatek is a leader in industrial monitoring, utilizing advanced Video-based vibration measurement and analysis (ViDeoMAgic) technology to prevent unplanned machine failures that cost industrial equipment users $1 trillion annually.
About the Technology
Every pixel is a sensor! ViDeoMAgic is an innovative technology that transforms standard video footage into high-resolution vibration and dynamic data, offering a cutting-edge solution for structural health monitoring.
Unlike traditional accelerometers, which provide limited point-based measurements, VideoMagic captures vibration data across an entire structure at the pixel level. This allows for a comprehensive, non-contact analysis of dynamic behavior in real-time.
The technology works by recording video of a vibrating structure and then using advanced algorithms to extract detailed information such as displacement, natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes.
Each pixel in the video effectively becomes a sensor, enabling an unprecedented level of spatial resolution. ViDeoMAgic operates efficiently even in non-ideal, noisy environments, and it does so with minimal setup and no need for physical sensors. This makes it ideal for monitoring complex, large-scale systems like wind turbines, bridges, and manufacturing equipment, where traditional methods would be cumbersome or impractical.
By enabling early detection of subtle changes in vibration patterns, ViDeoMAgic helps prevent equipment failures, reduces downtime, and extends the lifespan of critical infrastructure. It represents a significant advancement in the field of vibration monitoring and structural health assessment, offering a faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective solution.
