Cryal Core

Physical intelligence

Edge intelligence for mechanical systems.

Cryal Core is developing modular edge intelligence that connects physical measurements with operating context.

Prototype 1 is in development. Integrated hardware is not yet validated.

The opportunity

Intelligence where
monitoring is missing.

Physical sensing.
Operating context.
Local processing.

Machine intelligence should not be reserved for new machines. We’re building a foundation for contextual intelligence across existing mechanical systems, including equipment without native monitoring.

Retrofit-oriented
We start with existing machines where conventional monitoring is limited or impractical, and shape sensing around the machine and its operating context.
Complementary by design
Compatibility with existing industrial infrastructure guides our modular sensing and local-processing architecture.

Technology

The signal is only
part of the story.

Machine behavior produces measurable physical signals. Speed, load and installation conditions shape their interpretation.

Observe the physical system.

Vibration describes mechanical response; electrical measurements describe a different aspect of machine operation.

Understand the operating context.

We develop machine-specific references that account for the installation and supported operating states.

Bring analysis closer.

Our modular design places acquisition and signal processing close to the machine, with embedded intelligence as a development objective.

Physical measurements and operating context guide interpretation. Diagnostic and adaptive performance remain validation objectives.

Platform / Prototype 1

One context.
Dedicated observations.

Prototype 1 defines a shared Context Core and dedicated sensing Pods.

Sensing and local processing are distributed by design, with interpretation and history assigned to the Core.

Application-specific configurations require their own integration validation.

Cryal Context Core

Shared context, interpretation and local analysis. History and integration are design objectives.

Mechanical observation

Vibration Pod

  • Mechanical sensing
  • Vibration and rotation context
  • Local acquisition and signal processing
Application-dependent

Electrical Context Pod

  • Electrical operating / supply observations
  • Application-dependent sensing
  • Local acquisition and signal processing

Each Pod has an independent relationship with the Context Core. The Electrical Context Pod is not required for every future deployment.

Research and development

Research-led engineering.
Built around real-world machine behavior.

Our development firmware includes vibration acquisition and signal processing. Controlled offline studies inform sensing choices and prototype engineering.

Interpretation

Which reference is relevant?

Use a reference appropriate to the operating state and installation.

Synthetic signals and states illustrating a context-dependent comparison.
Multimodal Machine Observation
We have compared vibration and electrical-current information in matched offline studies to examine their complementary roles.
Operating-State Awareness
Our studies compare machine signals across operating conditions to develop machine-specific references.
Electrical Supply Context
Electrical disturbances can affect equipment behavior. Our research defines the measurement context needed to interpret supply observations.

Electrical current provides operating information. Supply-quality assessment depends on the measured quantities and their location.

Research results are scoped to their experiments; field performance requires separate validation.

Applications

Different machines.
A shared direction.

Two engineering development tracks connect the platform to practical monitoring needs.

Industrial systems

Industrial Condition Monitoring

Industrial motors and rotating equipment.

Motors and rotating equipment provide the initial practical environment for Prototype 1 engineering and prospective validation. The focus is machine behavior in its operating context.

Marine-engine condition intelligence.

EngineGuard is our originating marine-engine development track, focused on retrofit installations and engines with limited native diagnostics.

Marine engines / retrofit focus

Both tracks share the Cryal Core platform. Validation and practical requirements guide their development.

Company / collaboration

Grounded in physics.
Engineered for intelligence.

Cryal Core is a research-led engineering venture building toward a modular edge platform for mechanical and electromechanical systems.

Industrial Condition Monitoring and EngineGuard are development tracks within that wider ambition. We prioritize compatibility with existing infrastructure and cost-conscious deployment.
