Machine vision
Digitize instruments and equipment state
Turn analog gauges, indicator positions, fluid levels, and visible equipment conditions into timestamped data that supports machine-health metrics and predictions of remaining useful life.
Edge intelligence for field operations
We are capturing what SCADA can't
SnapShot combines machine vision, thermal imaging, and full-spectrum vibration and acoustic data with seasoned operator knowledge—giving field teams the context to manage more assets safely and efficiently.

The operating gap
Critical signals are hiding in plain sight.
Legacy sites contain valuable instruments, equipment signatures, and visual operating cues, but many still depend on periodic rounds and isolated readings. SnapShot creates a continuous digital layer around them.
Better visibility without a control-system replacement.
01
Observe the whole site
Field hardware captures gauges, thermal conditions, full-spectrum vibration and acoustic data, equipment state, and defined work areas.
02
Interpret at the edge
Lightweight local models convert high-volume signals into readings, trends, events, and reviewable evidence—even with constrained connectivity.
03
Keep experts in the loop
Experienced operators review events, explain the operating context, and help the models learn the patterns that matter.
04
Inform the operator
Teams see what changed, why it may matter, and the evidence behind it—so each operator can manage more assets efficiently.
One platform · four signal families
Equipment health, operational context, and visual evidence.
Each signal is useful alone. Together, they give the operator a more complete and actionable understanding of the asset.
Thermal
Track heat where it matters
Monitor equipment and process temperatures without adding intrusive instrumentation, and preserve thermal evidence around changing conditions.
Full-spectrum vibration + acoustic
Preserve the signal, not only a summary
Capture wide-band waveform and frequency-domain data so operators and models can detect emerging patterns, compare baselines, and investigate the underlying spectrum.
Operational vision
Support security, SOP, and compliance review
Use defined camera views to identify site access and observable workflow steps, flag possible deviations for human review, and retain visual records that support regulatory documentation.
Beyond gauge reading
Machine vision turns observation into asset insight.
Machine vision extends beyond digitizing gauges to interpreting equipment state, fluid levels, and visible operating conditions. Combined with thermal, vibration, and acoustic signals, these observations feed machine-health metrics and predictions of an asset’s remaining useful life, helping operators plan maintenance and anticipate failures.
SnapShot in action
From a gauge face to an operating picture.
See how SnapShot turns field images into readings, trends, and equipment-health estimates. These screens show the software in use.
01 / READ
Make every reading reviewable.
Most types of analog gauges can be read and trended at high sample rates without adding to the existing SCADA load. One camera can read all the gauges in a scene, keeping costs low.
02 / TRACK
Trend data that can be checked by a human.
The overall process conditions at a site can be inferred from the signals collected by a SnapShot deployment. Together, these signals create a digital twin for predicting fault conditions, identifying anomalies, and simulating operational changes. Source images let operators check the readings behind each trend.
03 / ANTICIPATE
A Case Study: A closer look at distributor-cap health.
A machine-life model used to predict small-engine distributor-cap failures at a heavy-oil site connects equipment condition with maintenance planning.
Expert-in-the-loop intelligence
The model learns how seasoned operators reason.
Field expertise is more than labels. Experienced operators connect weak signals, operating history, weather, process changes, and visual cues. SnapShot captures those inferences during model development and review.
The result: elegant, accurate, lightweight models designed to run at the edge—produced faster because the training loop starts with real operating judgment.

Built for operations
More informed operators. More manageable assets.
SnapShot is designed around the way remote energy assets actually operate: intermittent connectivity, existing infrastructure, and the need for evidence—not just another alarm. It directs attention to the assets and events most likely to need human judgment.
01Earlier awarenessSee equipment and operating drift between routine site visits.
02Faster triageReview the reading, spectrum, imagery, and context together.
03Scalable oversightHelp each operator prioritize and manage a larger asset base efficiently.
04Stronger operating recordRetain searchable evidence for investigations, SOP review, security, and compliance support.
