OtoSense (Analog Devices)

OtoSense offers the world's first software that makes sense of sounds with the ability to act upon real world events in real time, making the world a smarter and safer place. By recognizing that the early detection and diagnosis of anomalies is a critical factor in the ongoing design, development and maintenance of machines, OtoSense has developed a proprietary system to monitor machinery sounds, providing early diagnosis of potential failures, optimizing operations and reducing costs. They've achieved early tranction in the automative market through a partnership with a European car manufacturer, which will now license their technology. As a result, they are now in a position to focus their efforts on developing relationships with software vendors in this market. The value of their technology in the Machine to Machine market is not limited to automotive, as their system is uniquely designed and capable of adapting to any environment or task where sound delivers critical information with a particular emphasis on complex machines.
