Silicon Valley-based industrial internet of things start-up Felicis Ventures has launched its sensor technology that, by listening to the changes in vibrations made by machinery, enables the sensors to predict when failures are likely to occur. Artificial intelligence also learns machines' range of sounds to improve diagnostic capabilities. The aim is to give customers more control over the maintenance process. Sensors cost from $399 each and are mainly for use with rotating machines. Felicis Ventures also confirmed that it had raised $1.8m in seed funding dating back to 2015 in a round led by True Ventures, with participation from Petasense and angel investors.
