Know your machines are failing before they fail.
OSREP builds edge units that mount at the asset, read the sensors already wired there, and return one continuous machine state: nominal, degrading, or fault, with the input that drove the change. Inference runs on the unit. Raw data never leaves your site.
A pressure swing and a failing bearing can look the same.
Most monitoring treats normal as a fixed signature. It isn't. Normal moves with load, ambient temperature, and whatever the process is doing. A threshold set in January trips on a hot afternoon in August, the alarm says fault, and the machine is fine.
False alarms kill the tool
Operations gives a monitoring device a few chances. After the third alert that turns out to be a process change, every alert gets ignored, including the real one. A system that can't tell process from mechanics ends up unplugged.
Cloud models learn slowly, somewhere else
The usual fix is to ship waveforms offsite and let a model accumulate a season or more of history per asset. Your operating data lives behind a vendor's paywall while it learns, and stays there if you leave.
The data already exists. The review doesn't.
Historians hold years of vibration, acoustic, and process data that nobody has time to read at fleet scale. The failures are usually in there, visible in hindsight. Hindsight is the expensive kind.
Model normal as a function of conditions. What's left is mechanical.
An OSREP unit doesn't learn one baseline. It learns what the signal should look like given the operating context the other sensors report, then subtracts that prediction from what it observes. The residual is, by construction, the mechanical component. A process swing moves the prediction. A failing bearing moves the residual. The unit tells them apart because it never mixes them.
Step 1
Mount the unit
One unit at each monitoring point. It connects to whatever sensors are already wired there: vibration, acoustic, thermal, pressure, electrical. No rip and replace.
Step 2
Learn on the unit
A short commissioning window, on the hardware, at your site. The model starts from the physics of the equipment class instead of a blank slate, so this takes weeks, not a season of history. Nothing is transmitted while it learns.
Step 3
Emit a state
From then on the unit returns nominal, degrading, or fault, with confidence and time in state. When the state changes, it names the input that drove it.
A state, not a stream.
Raw data stays on the unit. What travels upstream is already an answer.
Continuous machine state
Every unit emits a rolling state with a confidence value and time in state. It drops into your existing SCADA, historian, or operations platform over the protocols already on site: Modbus, HART, OPC-UA, MQTT. If nothing changed, nothing needs you.
Attribution with every change
A state change arrives with the input that drove it and by how much. Cause, not just symptom.
degrading: acoustic up 40%, temperature nominal, vibration nominal. That reads as a bearing starting to go.
Where this stands, plainly.
Early-stage hardware companies usually hide this section. We'd rather you read it here than discover it on the first call.
- Hardware
- Prototype built. On-unit inference is in active development on the bench in Baton Rouge. We are not shipping production units yet.
- Certification
- Not yet rated for Class I, Division 1 or 2 areas. That scopes current work to non-classified balance-of-plant and remote ancillary assets. Hazardous-area certification is on the roadmap, and we know it gates most classified facilities.
- Early partners
- Recruiting now, in two shapes. A data engagement that starts from a historical export out of your historian, so the model proves itself on your assets before any hardware ships. Or a small on-site deployment at non-classified monitoring points. Both start with the form below.
- Company
- OSREP LLC, founded 2025, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
