We are proud to announce that SDT Ultrasound Solutions has won the BEMAS Innovation Award for our CRY8120 Series Acoustic Imaging Camera. This award recognizes the most impactful innovations in industrial maintenance, highlighting solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
About the BEMAS Innovation Awards
The BEMAS Innovation Awards celebrate groundbreaking advancements that make maintenance processes more effective and sustainable. These innovations can take many forms, from mechanical and electromechanical improvements to safety enhancements, environmentally friendly solutions, and new materials that extend asset lifespan. The awards aim to recognize practical solutions that help industries optimize maintenance strategies and reduce operational risks.
This year, 12 exhibitors at easyFairs MAINTENANCE 2025 submitted their entries, with only three finalists selected for the Maintenance Innovation Award: SDT Ultrasound Solutions, Bilfinger, and Dexis Belgium.
During the event, the BEMAS jury visited each finalist’s booth for a final evaluation, assessing the level of innovation, practical applicability, and impact of each solution.
Why the CRY8120 Series Acoustic Imaging Camera stood out
The CRY8120 Series Acoustic Imaging Camera was recognized for its ability to improve predictive maintenance by providing a highly accurate, real-time diagnostic tool for industrial applications. Designed to detect gas leaks, electrical discharges, and mechanical faults, it helps maintenance teams address potential failures before they lead to costly downtime.
The jury was particularly impressed by its ease of use and practical applicability in the field. One of the key reasons SDT secured the award was the significant savings potential of the CRY8120. In industries where rapid restarts after shutdowns are critical, the CRY8120 enables fast and precise leak detection, reducing time, labor, and operational costs.
The CRY8120 combines precision, ease of use, and advanced technology to deliver a more efficient and reliable approach to maintenance inspections. With a 200-MEMS microphone array, it detects and visualizes issues from greater distances with great accuracy. The optional thermal camera integration enhances inspection capabilities by providing a more comprehensive analysis of asset conditions. Real-time data processing and fault analysis further improve the speed and effectiveness of fault detection.
A step forward for predictive maintenance and sustainability
Winning this award highlights the role of acoustic imaging in modern maintenance strategies. The CRY8120 helps companies shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, minimizing energy waste, reducing costs, and improving overall asset reliability. By identifying issues such as compressed air and gas leaks, the camera supports sustainability goals by preventing unnecessary energy losses. It also enhances safety by allowing technicians to inspect equipment from a safe distance, reducing exposure to hazardous environments.
Looking ahead
Receiving the BEMAS Innovation Award is completely in line with our commitment to improving maintenance technology. At SDT Ultrasound Solutions, now part of I-care, we continue to develop products that empower maintenance professionals to work smarter, prevent failures, and maximize the efficiency of their operations.
