KCF Technologies

KCF Technologies develops wireless sensors and SMARTdiagnostics software for real-time, continuous machine monitoring. The company’s core product family of connected hardware includes the High-Definition Vibration Sensor; Piezo Sensing, built for large, slow rotating equipment; the IoT Hub, which ingests data on oil condition, motor health, pressure, vibration, and sound emissions; and the Base Station Gateway, which transfers data from sensors or other connected devices back to a central system for trend diagnostics. KCF’s proprietary software, SMARTdiagnostics, leverages machine learning to deliver actionable insights and recommendations. It offers intuitive visualizations of the equipment’s current health, prioritizes assets for streamlined maintenance, and automatically generates CMMS work orders.

The company offers its solution through a device-as-a-service (DaaS) business and pricing model. The full-stack solution includes hardware (IoT devices), enterprise software, advanced analytics, remote monitoring services, and 24/7 operational support and training from KCF’s SENTRYsolutions team. KCF Technologies is responsible for maintenance, priority checks, efficiency improvements, predictive maintenance advice, and more.

“Equipment failures are a significant hurdle in fields such as oil & gas, mining, chemicals, and utilities," says co-founder and CEO Jeremy Frank. “They lead to unplanned downtime, rising operational expenses, and potential safety concerns. An end-to-end subscription model ensures that machine operators across companies of any scale have access to vital predictive maintenance, with the flexibility to expand as their businesses grow.”
