Predictive maintenance · Energy systems

Catch machine faults before they stop you.

PredictaMaint combines short-time Fourier transforms with a Kolmogorov–Arnold Network to read machine vibration, diagnose faults early and explain its findings, light enough to run on site in real time.

The problem

Rotating machinery fails without much warning.

Turbines, pumps and compressors drive energy and industrial systems. Their vibration signals are irregular and change with operating conditions, so early faults are hard to see, and unplanned downtime is costly.

How it works

How it works

A clear path from data to decision.

Sense

Vibration sensors stream data from the machine.

Transform

STFT turns raw signals into time–frequency features.

Diagnose

A hybrid KAN model classifies the machine's condition.

Act

Maintenance teams get early, explained alerts.

Product

What makes it different.

Every feature is grounded in the founding research.

Hybrid KAN + STFT

Captures irregular, changing vibration patterns.

97.5% accuracy

FAQ

Questions we hear often.

What sensors do we need?

Standard vibration sensors (accelerometers) on the machines you want to monitor.

Can it run without the cloud?

Yes. The model is light enough to run on site in real time.

Is this a finished commercial product?

It is a research-based student startup moving from validated prototype toward pilots with real users.

Can we partner or run a pilot?

Yes. We are looking for organisations willing to test the solution in real conditions and share feedback.
