Equipment talks.
Flynn listens.

Flynn is real-time equipment health intelligence that runs on the microcontroller already inside your equipment. It learns healthy operation, locks the baseline, and detects developing anomalies at the source—before they cascade into failure.

8,480 bytes. Bare-metal. Deterministic. Near-zero SWaP-C.

The Problem

Tools were adopted. Downtime increased.

Equipment failure costs the Fortune 500 $1.4 trillion a year—up 62% since 2019. Predictive tools are more common than ever. Unplanned downtime is more prevalent than ever.

01

Alert fatigue

False alarms teach operators not to listen.

Flynn raises zero false positives.

02

Adaptive drift

An adaptive baseline can redefine a slow-developing fault as the new normal.

Flynn enrolls on healthy operation, then locks the baseline. Drift remains detectable.

03

Implementation barrier

Conventional predictive-maintenance programs can require months of historical data, labeling, new infrastructure, and specialist support.

Flynn learns directly from healthy equipment. No labeled fault history. No pretraining. No cloud dependency.

04

The interval gap

Inspections are snapshots.

Flynn observes equipment signals in real time, providing certifiable health and wellness telemetry.


Flynn's Differential

Intelligence at the equipment layer.

Near-zero SWaP-C Size, Weight, Power, and Cost—for embedded systems from the factory floor to deep space.
Size
8,480 B

Fits inside existing MCU flash—not 8 MB, not 8 GB.

Weight
Zero

Software on the chip already there. No additional board, sensor, or radio.

Power
Bare-metal

Integer-only. Zero heap after initialization. Runs inside the existing power envelope.

Cost
<$10

Runs on silicon you already ship.

Footprint
8,480bytes

One compact detector small enough to live on the microcontroller native to the equipment.

Enrollment
1,700samples

Learns healthy operation in 1,700 samples—as little as two seconds at kilohertz rates—then locks. No labels. No tuning.

Heap allocations
0

No dynamic allocation after initialization. Architected for constrained and safety-critical firmware environments.

Delivery
Binary

Compiled for your target hardware. Deterministic and verifiable against published test vectors, with source available to certifying authorities under NDA.

False positives
0/ 120 h

Zero false positives across 120 hours of healthy synthetic-vibration soak testing, with a 95% confidence ceiling below 0.025 per hour.

Behavior
Bit-identical

Same signal. Same answer. Replayable and auditable.

Enrollment requirements vary by equipment type, modes, and operational envelope.


How Flynn works

Enroll. Lock. Listen.

Flynn learns the operating envelope from healthy equipment, locks it, and watches every sample that follows.

No retraining loop. No continuously moving definition of normal.

Phase 01 · Enrollment

Observe healthy operation. Lock the envelope.

Flynn enrolls on healthy sensor data by observing the sensor stream in real time, on device, per mode of operation.

Once enrollment is complete, the baseline is locked.

Phase 02 · Detection

Detect the departure as it develops.

Flynn evaluates equipment telemetry against the enrolled operating envelope in real time.

It can signal as behavior begins trending toward the bounds of its enrolled thresholds—before those bounds have been crossed—and signal again when a threshold breach occurs.

The result is certifiable health and wellness reporting and early warning signals before equipment failure.


Validated across domains

One binary. All domains.

Equipment degrades. Signals change. Flynn remains.

The same core has been validated across five signal domains with no domain-specific model and no per-domain retraining.

Where there is telemetry, Flynn turns deviation into actionable equipment intelligence.

The Flynn roadmap

From neuron to nervous system.

One Flynn instance is useful on its own.

Multiple instances can compose into something larger. Equipment intelligence at the signal, asset, facility, and organizational level.

Stage 01 · The neuron
Today · shipping

Signal in.
Intelligence out.

Flynn is the atomic unit: one compact, deterministic detector operating directly on equipment telemetry.

Deployable today for production evaluations and pilot programs.

Stage 02 · The detector fabric
2026 · pilots engaging

Local authority. Shared context.

Compose multiple Flynn instances across sensors and assets.

Each detector remains authoritative over what it observes. A coordination layer adds operational context without rewriting the underlying detector’s decision.

The result: multi-sensor, regime-aware equipment intelligence that remains deterministic at its foundation.

Stage 03 · The nervous system
Multi-year

Facility-wide distributed cognition.

Reflex-class response.
Operational-regime memory.
System-level coordination.
Forensic replay back to any moment.

From individual signals to a facility that can understand its own condition.
