Diagsense ltd

Diagsense builds analytics for industrial plants that flag trouble in machinery while it is still forming. Its algorithms anticipate faults and irregular behaviour in mechanical equipment such as pumps, pipelines and turbines, and the company says its software works from the control data a plant already has.

Predictive maintenance for machinery

The company offers preventive maintenance based on statistical algorithms, which it describes as proprietary. They monitor and predict malfunctions in pumps, pipelines and turbines. The firm says it helps factories move from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance, so that work is planned from the condition of the equipment rather than from a fixed calendar.

Working through existing control systems

The alerts are built on the data a plant's SCADA system already holds, so no new sensors or equipment need to be installed. The company says the monitoring runs online around the clock, handles changes in operating and pressure regimes and in environmental conditions, and needs no recalibration after unreported changes. Each alert is considered individually, and the firm says this sharply reduces false alarms.

Leak detection for oil and gas pipelines

Its leak detection system for oil and gas pipelines uses the customer's SCADA system together with its own application. The company says it provides reliable and accurate detection, and that its aim is to avoid misleading warnings while a pipeline is changing its operating state.

Energy and diagnostic models

The company forecasts energy consumption in factories to help organisations cut energy costs and improve efficiency. It also builds prognostics and diagnostics models for stationary processes, which it describes as a way to find the root cause of a problem and stop it escalating before it causes damage.

Machine learning projects

Its turnkey AI projects for industry include predicting buying behaviour with machine learning and Python, which the firm lists among its services. New clients can take up an online pilot before committing to a wider project.

Diagsense ltd develops algorithms that predict failures and abnormal behaviour in mechanical systems such as pumps, pipelines and turbines. Its software reads data from a plant's existing SCADA system, so no extra sensors or equipment are needed, and it raises alerts about developing faults before they turn into real problems.

What Diagsense ltd does

• Pipeline leak detection: monitoring for oil and gas pipelines that works through changing pressure and operating regimes and aims to cut false alarms.
• Predictive maintenance: helping manufacturers move from scheduled to condition-based maintenance.
• Energy consumption forecasting: predicting how much energy a factory will use to support energy management.
• Prognostics and diagnostics models: root-cause analysis for stationary processes built from raw machine data.
• Turn-key AI projects: custom AI work for industrial clients.

Customers and markets

The company serves industrial operators, including oil and gas pipeline owners and factories. It offers new clients an online pilot, and has started a pilot with a gas company in the Negev.
