像“钢铁巨人”中的男孩一样，Elmodis 要盯着数千台大型机器，确保它们不出现罢工、甚至是伤到工人的现象。该公司最近筹集了490万美元，用于管理这项任务，此外还有从波兰Innovation Nest 获取的25万美元种子融资。

创始人Artur Hanc和Marcin Swiech创造了一种“新颖的监控机器”，Swiech说。

“该技术使用电动机作为传感器，”他说。该公司正在准备用其基于云的软件和可读取电机的硬件组件来监控数千台大型机器的问题和改进。

“我们可以在很短的时间内就建立分析模型，来诊断电机驱动每一台机器。目前，我们聚焦在机器制造业中的主要部件：泵、风扇和输送机系统。我们 有一套适用 于 所有机器的硬件类型，与振动系统相比，安装成本非常低，需要安装几个传感器，配备几个知道将它们安装在什么位置的专家” Swiech说。换句话说，这些 专家把几个 硬件放入您的机器商店， 通过一个中央仪表盘就能管理所有内容。该公司用SaaS模式收取连接的计算机费用。

Like the boy inIron Giant , Elmodis watches massive machines to ensure they don’t break or, worse, hurt people. The company recently raised $4.9 million to manage this task in addition to their $250,000 in seed capital from Innovation Nest in Poland.

The founders, Artur Hanc and Marcin Swiech, created a “novel way of monitoring machines,” said Swiech.

“The technology uses an electric motor as a sensor,” he said. The company is preparing to monitor thousands of massive machines using their cloud-based software and a hardware component that can read motors for problems and improvements.

“We can build analytical models for diagnostics of any machine powered by an electric motor in very little time. At the moment we focus on pumps, fans, and conveyor systems that are mainly used in manufacturing. We have one type of hardware for all machines, so the installation costs are very low compared to vibration systems, where you need to install several sensors and have a specialist who knows where to place them,” said Swiech. In other words these guys can drop a few pieces of hardware into your machine shop and manage everything from a central dashboard. The company charges per connected machine in a SaaS model.
