Aerospace and Defense
Our XNode® line of computing modules provide a new way for aircraft to be improved, allowing for increased optimization, cheaper cost to run, and enhanced safety.
Safety: High-temperature sensor data allows for constant engine monitoring and immediate problem detection.
Operational Optimization: Actuation directly next to the engine provides increased fuel efficiency and reduced reaction time.
Cost Savings: Constant monitoring allows for engines to be run closer to the edge, reducing the number of expensive and time-consuming rebuilds necessary.
Geothermal
The XNode® allows for cost reduction, optimization, and safer operations by providing real-time data acquisition in geothermal wells, letting operators know when a problem happens as soon as it occurs, and when to perform preventative maintenance.
Safety: Real-time pipeline monitoring of fluid temperature, pressure, and flow rate.
Operational Optimization: Precise control of cooling loops using sensors and electronic controls ensures optimal heat transfer from the geothermal fluids to generators, maximizing power output.
Cost Savings: High-temperature sensors help predict potential equipment failures (e.g., pipe ruptures) by detecting early signs of stress or anomaly.
Space
Our XNodex® thrive in harsh climates enable spacecraft to be smaller and more reliable, making space missions much more cost effective and safe.
Safety: Onboard UV, temperature, and pressure sensing enables real-time fault detection, allowing for instant reaction times to issues.
Operational Optimization: ICs designed for high temperatures significantly reduce the need for thermal management, reducing the footprint of the spacecraft.
Cost Savings: Putting data acquisition, computing, and actuation all on the same chip reduces the amount of analog wiring required.
Oil & Gas
The XNode® is a game-changer for down-hole drilling, offering tangible benefits across safety, efficiency, data analysis, and bottom line.
Safety Boost: Early detection of catastrophic drilling failures (blowouts, equipment damage) caused by overheating or excessive pressure.
Operational Optimization: Monitoring helps prevent overheating of drill bits or tools, helps predict maintenance needs, and optimizes drilling parameters (fluid flow, weight-on-bit) to enhance well stability.
Cost Savings: Early detection and prevention can prevent the need for costly repairs or well abandonment due to catastrophic failures.
