When I attended the CeBIT conference in Hannover in 2016, it was full of supposedly “smart” devices that didn’t seem particularly smart to me. The “smart” trend inspired many different devices that were essentially just connected to the internet. In most cases, their connectivity meant some additional, often narrowly defined, benefit for the user.
Neuron Soundware and Deutsche Telekom innovation labs introduced the future of predictive maintenance. Artificial intelligence and IoT solutions work together with KUKA robot – a robotic arm used in any bigger factory nowadays. When you put on the VR goggles, you can see how easy and comfortable the machine diagnostics and predictive maintenance can be.
We are delighted to bring you an insightful interview with Pavel Konečný on the future of NSW, as featured on the CzechCrunch portal.
The “machine whisperers” from Neuron Soundware are back in time for Hannover Messe with three new products that they will be presenting at the world’s most important industrial fair. After Neuron Soundware presented its own AI-based sound detection system for machine maintenance and problems for the first time last year, their second generation of devices along with two new products will be launched this year.
Manufacturing companies are looking for solutions that automate and reduce maintenance costs. Artificial intelligence in maintenance is no longer science fiction.
The Czech startup Neuron Soundware develops technology for automated predictive maintenance of industrial machinery. Using sound/vibration analysis of the machines, the technology enables it to detect imminent failures that would mean costly repairs and production outages.

Neuron Soundware received funding from the EU and the TAČR program, succeeding as the sole Czech representative among a thousand applicants.
Physics defines sound as a vibration that propagates as an audible wave of pressure through a transmission medium such as gas, liquid, or a solid. Most of the sounds we hear are generated from solid materials, including human speech. Although we need to breathe in order to speak, the muscle tension of the vocal cords must be precisely managed in order to generate the voice.
Factory manufacturing is highly automated today. Yet wear and tear on the mechanical parts of the equipment can cause production to be suspended. Monitoring the condition of machines and predicting their failures can save manufacturing companies considerable sums. Implementation of AI can bring automation to this area as well.
