Water authorities and utilities have used acoustic sensors to canvas for leaks and signs of wear and tear for years.
One of these startups, Conservation Labs, is creating a water-listening sensor that attaches to the plumbing in residential, multifamily and office properties.
But as with many — if not most — AI- and algorithm-driven products on the market, it’s tough to know exactly how well Conservation Labs’ tech performs without extensively testing it first.
Like water-listening sensors, acoustic sensors that monitor machines is well-established tech.
Beyond Conservation Labs, startups like Noiseless Acoustics and OneWatt use AI-powered sensors to better understand the patterns of industrial equipment.
