Modal Amplified™ Receives Innovators Award

RDI Technologies’ Modal AmplifiedTM Solution Honored with Vision Systems Design 2023 Innovators Award

Reduces time and complexity of modal testing, provides real-world, instant visualization of structures 

Knoxville, TN – May 23, 2023 – RDI Technologies, a global leader in Motion Amplification® vibration analysis solutions, announced today that Modal Amplified™ was recognized as one of the best in machine vision by the Vision Systems Design 2023 Innovators Award program. The judging panel consisted of esteemed experts from system integrators and end-user companies. The awards were announced on May 22 at the 2023 Automate Show in Detroit, Michigan. 

The Modal Amplified solution is a breakthrough technology that enables the shift from time-consuming sensor mapping, placement, fixation, and animated modeling to instant visualization and real-life structure testing and analysis. Rather than spend hours and days setting up a test site to determine what a structure theoretically could look like and how it might react using Modal Testing, camera-based Modal Amplified sets up in minutes, can be moved anywhere for multiple views, produces hundreds of virtual sensors, and instantly visualizes the actual real-life structure, significantly improving data capture, workflow, and cost for Modal solution users.

“The Vision Systems Design team would like to congratulate RDI Technologies for their score in the 2023 Innovators Award program as a Bronze Honoree,” says Linda Wilson, Editor in Chief. “Each year, this unbiased and increasingly competitive program aims to celebrate machine vision’s most innovative products and systems. The RDI team should be very proud of their Modal Amplified solution.”

“Modal Testing has been done pretty much the same way for years, and we wanted a way to make it more accessible, less time-consuming, more real-world, and allow users to get to the data faster without impacting data integrity,” says Dr. Jeff Hay, CEO, RDI Technologies. “This drove us to develop a camera-based solution that leverages simultaneous measurement of the force input with the response measured directly from the camera. Users can not only immediately visualize the resulting modes shapes, but they can place an unlimited number of sensors across the structure through virtual regions of interest. Modal results are now accessible in minutes – from capture to visualizing the modes shapes, complete with dozens, even hundreds of sensors measured across the structure.”
