Inmox: Changing the Face of Industrial Monitoring & Maintenance

Today we have a chat with Daniel Kagerbauer, CTO and co-founder at Inmox. This is a fascinating conversation regarding Inmox's aim to change how industrial maintenance is done and, while their initial focus is on gearboxes, the implications for their software and sensor developments may be broadly applicable across the entire industrial landscape. The two talk about monitoring industrial systems, materials challenges, industry-specific applications, and much more.

If you're interested in advancements in the industrial space, this is the episode for you.

Show Highlights:

• Introduction to Daniel Kagerbauer CTO and co-founder of Inmox. Inmox is part of the Altium startup program called Launchpad
• Inmox is currently developing industry ready prototype and moving towards heavy industrial applications
• Commercial automotive and even the racing industry is a better fit for Inmox’s gearbox monitoring system
• Daniel describes in detail what their product look like, from a sensor oil screw that can monitor the vehicle’s lubrication system, installing T-tube and wiring local ethernets
• Data are being collected where the wear particles are present, and the oil screw with the lubricant have quite good access to essential stuff that needs measuring
• Smaller systems are more automative focus while bigger systems are applicable for wind energy versions such as a helicopter, moreover safety is utmost important
• Certification challenges can involve finances, redesigns and weight optimization
• How does the real-time particle analysis works?
• Daniel talks more about distinguishing between ferromagnetic, non-ferromagnetic, and the good old electro magnetism
• Inmox is currently in negotiation with potential customers and doing interviews with mentors from different industries
• Body vibration monitoring is more precise and reliable
• Inmox longterm vision is to promote extended lifespan to machines and pushing mechanical engineering in a more sustainable path
