TinMan Systems

Founded in 2010, TinMan Systems is a privately held Industrial IoT company based in Issaquah, WA with technology especially devised to monitor and provide the ‘critical’ diagnostics for industrial equipment and conveyors. Our multi-sensor devices are used by our customers for the commissioning and preventative maintenance of their large conveyor systems. Our systems are designed to inspect and identify failure and pre-failure modes of conveyor systems through our unique patented approach called: On-Board Real-Time Multi-Sensor Diagnostics. This approach provides a connected, holistic first-person diagnostic view of the conveyor and its payload. Our systems provide a multi-sensor experience of the conveyor system route by either attaching to the tote/package or attaching to the moving parts of the conveyor, and use a unique set of cameras, sensors, thermography, and location synchronization to build a layered-holistic view of the health of the system. For several years now, some of the largest companies in the world have been purchasing and using our “Mobile” Multi-Sensor conveyor diagnostic system – now in use at 100’s of distribution centers in 8 countries around the world. Reliability engineers use these devices, to identify dozens of impending or existing failure states for conveyance. Our customers use these systems to validate the commissioning phase for conveyors at new centers, as well as for ongoing routine maintenance at new and legacy centers. This experience has increased our understanding of maintenance challenges pursuing maximum uptime and operational excellence. We also provide software and professional services for the development and deployment of embedded systems. With over 1.5 million lines of source code, our software platform consists of 3 categories: Real-time sensor data fusion, visualization, and control (TinMan RealTime™), Intelligent Automation (AI Builder) and Pattern Recognition.
