Early anomaly detection · Industrial operations

The earliest signal of failure in your operations, days to weeks before any alarm trips.

VÖRNTEC learns the normal behaviour of every asset on your site from your existing sensors, then surfaces the slow, silent failures that thresholds and per-channel alarms can't see. The shift is from reactive to condition-based maintenance.

01 / The platform

One model, watching every asset, continuously.

A live anomaly score for every asset across every site, derived from the full sensor field rather than per-channel thresholds. Operators see degradation building hours, days, or weeks before any single instrument trips.

🟠 Anomaly detected on W-12. Signature consistent with ESP motor degradation, gradual current rise + 3rd-harmonic vibration shift.

Same signature as W-09 last quarter? Or different mode?
VT
VÖRNTEC bot · 11:43
Different. W-09 was a step jump in current, insulation breakdown. W-12 is a gradual rise + harmonic shift, bearing or stator wear.

W-12 last serviced 14 months ago, overdue anyway. Pulling it forward into next week's window makes sense. Crew is on PAD-07 Thursday.

From detection to work order, always with the operator in the loop.

A multi-layer detection stack ingests data from your existing systems, scores anomalies in real time, flags failures ahead of time, and routes prioritised alerts straight into the tools your operators already use.

The failures VÖRNTEC catches before they cost you.

A representative sample of our growing fault library. The model surfaces any deviation from learned normal behaviour, and our engineering layer attributes the signature to a known failure mode.

04 / Mission

Fewer surprise failures also means fewer emissions.

Methane traps 82 times more heat than CO₂ over twenty years, and the energy sector is responsible for over a third of human methane emissions. Equipment that fails unexpectedly tends to vent, flare and release. Catching degradation early keeps assets running and cuts avoidable emissions as a side effect.

Warming intensity · 20-year horizon
One tonne of methane warms the planet as much as 82.5 tonnes of CO₂.
