Industrial Acoustic Intelligence & Transparent Commercial Models.
From Deep Physics Instrumentation to Predictable ROI.
Updem delivers an unbroken engineering chain from physical acoustic micro-pulses to actionable CMMS maintenance directives. Our modular architecture separates physical instrumentation, real-time edge processing, and cloud intelligence, allowing each component to operate independently or integrate seamlessly with your existing factory automation and 3rd-party telemetry.
The Three Pillars of the Updem Platform
Each tier addresses a specific physical and computational challenge: high-fidelity acoustic wave capture, millisecond edge feature extraction, and enterprise-grade cloud diagnosis.
Monpod™ Piezoelectric Acoustic Sensors
Non-intrusive wideband acoustic emission transducers engineered for continuous surveillance across manufacturing machinery and process containment. Utilizing high-strength magnetic clamping feet, sensors install in under 4 hours on operating assets with zero drilling, zero hot work, and zero production stoppage.
Industrial Edge Gateway Platform
Raw acoustic streaming at 1 million samples per second would flood plant networks. The Updem Edge Gateway performs real-time continuous wavelet filtering and physical parameter extraction on-device, transmitting deterministic physics metrics to the cloud while buffering raw transient burst waveforms locally for microsecond delta-t defect triangulation.
Updem AI Cloud Intelligence
Where acoustic telemetry transforms into actionable plant decisions. Updem AI Cloud applies physics-informed neural models to establish continuous operational baselines, triangulate defect coordinates within ±30 cm, and generate plain-language maintenance directives directly synced into your site CMMS.

Frequently Asked Commercial & Engineering Questions
How does the ~€1,000 hardware module purchase option work?
If your company prefers capital equipment ownership rather than operational leasing, you can buy the Monpod™ acoustic sensor modules outright for about €1,000 per module. Once purchased, you only pay the pure software subscription (€490/asset/month, or enterprise fleet rates), giving you full ownership with no recurring hardware lease fees.
How does the Free Sandbox work?
The Free Sandbox gives engineers and data scientists instant web access to our cloud analytics environment. You receive API keys to stream simulated or live test telemetry, test our REST and MQTT endpoints, and explore historical failure recordings from real manufacturing machinery.
Is plant downtime required during sensor installation?
No. Monpod™ acoustic transducers attach using high-power magnetic mounts or non-intrusive mechanical brackets. Installation requires under 4 hours per machine, without drilling, cutting, or hot-work permits, and is executed while equipment runs in full production.
Can the €4,500 turnkey pilot fee be credited toward hardware or annual plans?
Yes. 100% of the €4,500 pilot investment is credited directly toward either your hardware module purchases (~€1,000/module) or your annual SaaS/HaaS subscription when you expand beyond the initial 60-day trial period.
Can we ingest data from our existing factory sensors into Updem?
Yes. The Updem platform features an open, decoupled architecture. While Monpod™ provides the acoustic ultrasound sensing advantage, our cloud and edge platforms ingest existing 3rd-party process telemetry via OPC UA, MQTT/MQTTS, Modbus TCP, and REST APIs.
