Data-driven dust decisions for real industrial environments
Industrial Intelligence provides reliable, quantitative insight into dust accumulation, so operators can reduce uncertainty and make confident decisions.
What we do:
Scalable, lab-grade measurement of combustible dust risk
Industrial Intelligence builds systems that give industrial operators ongoing, quantitative insight into combustible dust accumulation, replacing visual spot-checks, assumptions, and worst-case decisions with defensible data.
At a high level, we provide:
-
Ongoing measurement of dust accumulation in industrial environments
-
Early alerts when conditions change or thresholds are exceeded
-
Lab-grade data that supports performance-based compliance and confident decisions
Our platform combines patented sensing hardware, intelligent software, and analytics designed to operate reliably in real facilities.
Why we exist:
Combustible dust has always mattered, but has rarely been measured well
For decades, facilities have managed dust risk through inspections, visual checks, and conservative assumptions. That approach left operators with limited visibility and forced decisions based more on caution than evidence.
As operations scaled and regulatory expectations increased, that gap became unsustainable. When quantitative data is missing, uncertainty spreads across safety, uptime, capital planning, and insurance.
Industrial Intelligence was founded to close that gap by making continuous, defensible measurement possible. Not to add another layer of process, but to give operators the information they need to act earlier, decide more confidently, and operate with less uncertainty.

How we think:
Prioritizing data and evolving dust conditions over assumptions and speculation from a limited snapshot
Every system we build has to meet a simple standard: Reduce uncertainty in real industrial environments.
That filter shows up in a few core principles:
Measure continuously, not periodically
Risk changes between inspections. Our systems are designed to capture what’s happening over time, not snapshots.
Prefer data over assumptions
When measurement is missing, operators are forced into worst-case decisions. We build tools that replace estimation with evidence.
Surface early signals, not late-stage incidents
The goal is to act before conditions become dangerous, disruptive, or expensive.
Design for real facilities, not ideal conditions
Harsh environments, uptime requirements, and operational constraints are the baseline, not edge cases.
Make intelligence usable, not theoretical
Data only matters if it supports clear, defensible decisions on the plant floor and beyond.
Progress to date:
Patented technology, deployed systems, and manufacturing readiness
Industrial Intelligence has moved well beyond concept and into execution. Key milestones include:
Patented technology
Four U.S. utility patents issued, with additional international protection granted or pending.
Manufacturing readiness
Production tooling completed, molds fabricated, and initial inventory manufactured with U.S.-based partners.
Commercial groundwork in place
Dust Mapping Survey kits produced deployed, supporting early customer engagement and compliance workflows.
Working systems built and tested
Operational prototypes developed with optics, algorithms, firmware, embedded software, and analytics.
Certification progress
FM Approvals testing completed, with North American certification underway.
This progress reflects a deliberate focus on building systems that work in real facilities, meet regulatory expectations, and scale responsibly.
Looking ahead:
Making continuous dust data a standard part of industrial operations
Industrial Intelligence is building toward a future where industrial risk is measured continuously and acted on earlier.
As regulatory expectations increase and operations scale, the cost of uncertainty rises. Facilities will need systems that provide ongoing insight, not periodic reassurance.
Our focus is on building reliable, scalable technology operators can depend on to understand changing conditions and make confident, defensible decisions.
