LineStream’s breakthrough control software dramatically improves efficiency in and simplifies the design of industrial and motor-controlled products and processes.
LineStream Technologies is in revenue having recently signed a fifteen year $100 Million license agreement with Texas Instruments. LineStream has developed software that will dramatically improve control over automated processes, enhancing performance in equipment found everywhere from manufacturing plants to households. This is a multi-billion dollar market opportunity to replace the current standard, called PID control, that has been in use for over 50 years with little innovation. In partnership with leading chip and controller providers, LineStream will deploy its software into products ranging from industrial equipment to washing machines.
Control algorithms, encoded in software, are implemented to sustain desired operational performance in automated products. PID Controls are the industry standard control algorithm, used in over 97% of control loops. With PID controls, product design and calibration areis a lengthy and imprecise trial-and-error processes. Once products are deployed, PID controls are slow to react to errors such as vibration and friction that can cause equipment to move outside specified parameters. LineStream’s controls solve both of these problems by slashing setup time and drastically reducing errors. This results in shorter design cycles, sustainable product performance, and dramatic energy savings.
LineStream’s Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) technology is the result of a ten-year development effort at the Center for Advanced Controls at Cleveland State University (CSU, Cleveland, OH).
ADRC powers SpinTAC and InTAC, LineStream’s flagship products, which provide:
LineStream’s competitive advantage is enhanced by:
Key Milestones:
LineStream is poised to disrupt the controls landscape, which for decades has been stagnant. With a Fortune 200 strategic partner, transformative control technology, and software that is ready to deploy immediately, LineStream represents a uniquely attractive, capital-efficient and quickly-scalable investment opportunity offering tens of billions of dollars of economic value to its end use markets annually.
