Mikagu
MikaGu delivers 100% air-gapped acoustic Edge AI to anticipate mechanical failures and ensure zero downtime for highly regulated critical infrastructure
About Us
MikaGu is a deep-tech startup specializing in Physical AI and advanced acoustic analysis. We help critical infrastructure operators in the energy and defense sectors prevent catastrophic equipment failure by shifting from reactive damage detection to true anomaly anticipation.
The core problem we address is a severe technological paradox: mission-critical facilities are completely blocked from adopting standard cloud-connected predictive maintenance due to strict, zero-tolerance cybersecurity regulations.
We solve this by deploying autonomous, 100% air-gapped acoustic Edge AI systems. Our non-invasive microphone networks continuously capture the high-fidelity internal sound signatures of critical assets, such as high-voltage transformers and cooling pumps. Instead of transmitting sensitive data outward, our proprietary machine learning algorithms process it entirely locally on secure edge controllers
Relevant Challenges
Resource Efficiency
MikaGu’s air-gapped acoustic Edge AI continuously captures the internal sound signatures of critical assets such as high-voltage transformers and cooling pumps, processing them locally to anticipate mechanical failures before they occur. By shifting operators from reactive, schedule-based maintenance to true anomaly anticipation, the system optimizes operating parameters and eliminates the wasted time, materials, and skilled manpower that result from premature part replacement and unplanned downtime
Energy Transmission and Distribution
By non-invasively monitoring the high-fidelity acoustic signatures of high-voltage transformers and other core transmission and distribution assets, MikaGu detects developing faults early enough to prevent the outages and power losses caused by unexpected equipment failure. This predictive asset-management capability strengthens the reliability of energy infrastructure in highly regulated environments where cloud-connected monitoring is not an option, helping operators avoid costly downtime and maintain continuous power flow
