The startup develops low-power sensors that integrate a temperature sensor with solar cells to minimize temperature-related measurement errors. These sensors provide long-range data communication to cloud networks or tablet devices, enabling industries such as oil and gas and food processing to enhance operational control and reduce valve position monitoring costs.

Problem
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) poses a significant challenge in the process industry, leading to substantial maintenance costs and potential safety hazards due to undetected moisture intrusion in insulated piping. Traditional CUI monitoring methods involve costly and wasteful processes, such as removing cladding and insulation for inspection, often resulting in a high percentage of false positives and leaving piping unmonitored for extended periods.
Solution
Trisense provides an IIoT-based solution, CirruSense, that enables predictive CUI monitoring for the process industry. The system utilizes wireless sensors mounted through the cladding of insulated piping to detect moisture levels and environmental conditions in real-time. Data is transmitted via cellular networks to a cloud-based platform, where it is analyzed and visualized to provide a comprehensive overview of plant health. This approach allows for targeted maintenance, reducing costs, mitigating risks, improving energy efficiency, and promoting sustainability by minimizing unnecessary cladding removal and waste.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes professionals in the chemical, petrochemical, refining, marine, and offshore industries responsible for asset integrity, maintenance, and safety, seeking to reduce CUI-related costs, mitigate risks, and improve sustainability.
