San Diego, CA—KLATU Networks continues to solidify its position as the industry leader in predictive failure analytics with the award of its 2nd U.S. patent 10337964 for "Systems and Methods for Monitoring, Inferring State of Health, and Optimizing Efficiency of Refrigeration Systems."
This patent describes how temperature cycles within refrigerated compartments can be characterized using statistical, frequency, and pattern analysis techniques to derive a steady-state characteristic of temperature. By analyzing continuous temperature readings taken from individual or groups of freezers, KLATU's technology identifies patterns of variations in temperature cycles from which critical feedback on efficiency can be inferred.
"Our patented technology transforms standard temperature monitoring into a powerful predictive maintenance tool," said Rick Kriss, founder of KLATU Networks. "By analyzing temperature cycles and correlating them with compressor activity, we can identify operational inefficiencies and predict component failures long before they occur."
The patent describes how TRAXX can detect subtle temperature pattern changes that indicate potential problems such as refrigerant leaks, worn compressor valves, clogged filters, or other mechanical failures. This early detection capability allows maintenance to be scheduled proactively, preventing costly system failures and specimen loss.
Additionally, the technology enables precise electrical load calculations by measuring or estimating current usage and identifying periods when compressors are active. This provides unprecedented visibility into energy consumption patterns of refrigeration systems.
For Life Science organizations managing critical cold storage infrastructure, this patent-protected technology delivers significant benefits:
Early identification of refrigeration systems showing signs of deteriorating performance
Reduced risk of catastrophic system failures and research specimen loss
Lower energy costs through improved operational efficiency
Extended asset life through targeted, condition-based maintenance
Reduced total cost of ownership for cold storage systems
This second patent further enhances KLATU's TRAXX platform, reinforcing its position as the only cold storage monitoring system with comprehensive predictive failure analytics protected by U.S. and international patents.
By continuing to innovate in this critical field, KLATU Networks is helping Life Science organizations transition from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies, ensuring near-zero breakdown performance while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption.
