The challenge
ATEX zones and continuous processes leave little room for surprises
Chemical plants run 24/7 with tight safety margins. Equipment in explosive atmospheres can't be easily instrumented. When a compressor or reactor pump fails without warning, the cost is measured in lost batches and safety incidents.
Hazardous area monitoring
ATEX-rated zones prohibit many sensor types. SAM4 installs on power cables in the motor control cabinet — no entry into classified zones required.
Continuous process disruption
An unplanned pump or compressor failure can stop an entire production line. SAM4 gives weeks-to-months advance warning so you can schedule repairs during planned shutdowns.
Energy waste in rotating equipment
Oversized pumps, inefficient blowers, and poorly matched drives waste 5-35% of energy. SAM4 identifies waste with real-time performance data.

Simple installation, immediate insights
SAM4 installs inside the motor control cabinet — no sensors on the asset, no production interruption, no confined-space entry.
- Install in the MCC Clip-on current and voltage sensors attach to existing wiring in the motor control cabinet. Takes 20 minutes per asset.
- Connect to SAM4 cloud The edge device samples at 20 kHz and sends data securely to the SAM4 platform for AI analysis.
- Get actionable alerts Receive predictive alerts weeks to months before failure, with fault type, severity, and recommended action.
