DETROIT Wayne State University technology spin off SenSound has partnered with a Utah company to supply sound analysis systems for manufacturing and engineering companies that SenSound says will reduce set-up times and increase revenues.
The SenSound technology lets users see where unwanted sound originates and how it travels through space and time. Its new partner, Larson Davis of Provo, Utah, provides the Digital Sensor Interface Transmitter technology.
This software tool makes it possible to pinpoint the exact source of noise in a wide range of products from automobile brakes and door panels to washing machines and other consumer appliances, said Dr. Wu, inventor of the technology and Charles DeVlieg Professor at Wayne State Universitys College of Engineering. It allows the user to see the origin of sound and watch it travel through three-dimensional space and time.
Sergio Mazza, SenSound CEO, said the SenSound’s diagnostic tools dramatically reduce the cost and time of engineering out noise from products. They also enable the user to demonstrate that products meet customer specifications in an objective, credible and easy to understand manner, before and after production begins, by providing a detailed and quantifiable analysis of relative sound volumes.
SenSound’s technologies can be critical to a company’s competitive advantage by enhancing their customer’s perception of premium quality – leading to greater revenues, margins and market share, Mazza said.
SenSound provides software, integrated systems and services for manufacturing companies that want to identify and reduce noise from their products or manufacturing systems; improve manufacturing quality control process for in-line or end of line product testing; conduct product or machinery failure analysis or machinery preventive maintenance.
For architectural and engineering firms, SenSound reduces the intrusion of external environmental noise and reduces internally generated noise from HVAC equipment and other sources.
