Rev A boards in hand · September 2026

The Vigil Node. Small enough to fit anywhere. Ready to act.

A wireless node that measures what's around it through plug-in probes, drives the equipment it's fitted to, and links to every other node on site. Thousands of them make a facility one distributed robot.

A Vigil wireless node
Anatomy

Everything a node needs. Nothing it doesn't.

A finished board you can leave on a structure for the long run — shown here simplified.

Shielded wireless module

Low-power radio that links node to node, so coverage grows with every node you add.

Probe and output pads

Plug-in probes that introduce themselves, and outputs that drive relays, valves and dampers.

Status at a glance

Lights and buttons for the person standing next to it — the platform shows the rest.

A Vigil Node seen from above: shielded radio module, chips, buttons, battery connector, USB-C and edge pads

Battery connector

Runs on its own battery, with on-board power management, where there's no mains.

USB-C

Power, charge or set it up on the bench with a single cable.

Mounting points

Fixes to a structure, an enclosure or a drone's perch payload.

What a node does

Sense, act, connect — and fit into the platform from minute one.

Sense

Temperature, pressure, vibration, flow, current, gas, light, level — through probes that tell the node what they are.

Act

Outputs that move the equipment beside it, commanded by programmes, reflexes or a person — never silently.

Connect

Node-to-node wireless mesh across halls, yards, roofs and tunnels, out to a gateway.

Run on its own

Battery-powered with careful power management, or powered over USB-C where there's a socket.

Its own identity

Every node is known to the platform individually; every reading and every command it applies is attributed to it.

Changed remotely

Sampling rates and modes are set from the platform — a vibration watch, a quiet period — and put back afterwards.

Commissioned by phone

Scan its label, take a photo where it's fitted, and it appears on the site's map with its position and history.

Placed by drone

Perch drones carry a node to the exact spot planned on a 3D survey and leave it on its perch.

Probes

Plug in a probe. It introduces itself.

Probes carry their own description: what they measure, in which units, how they were calibrated. Connect one and the platform knows what it is — no configuration screens, no wrong units. The same probe works on every Vigil site.

A site and its nodes
A site page with its devices, map and intelligence
The family

From a single probe to a whole site.

Probes

Self-describing sensors and actuators that plug into any node.

Vigil Nodes

Wireless nodes that measure, act and link into a mesh.

Gateways

Bring a site's mesh to the platform over the connection you have.

Perch

Drones that survey a structure and place nodes on it.

Where we are

From first boards to the field.

The platform already runs end to end on demonstration sites with thousands of simulated nodes, including drone placements on full-scale survey models. The hardware is catching up fast.

Done

The platform

Memory, forecasting, Atlas, Argus, reports, programmes and reflexes — running end to end on demonstration sites.

Done

Perch deployment pipeline

3D survey, placement plan, flight order and commissioning, on full-scale demonstration structures.

September 2026

Rev A boards in hand

The first Vigil Node boards arrived from manufacture. Bring-up and firmware are under way on the bench.

Next

Pilot nodes on partner sites

Nodes on real equipment with our first design partners — sensing first, then actuation.

Renderings are illustrative and simplified; they are not a specification.

Making Sense · pilots open

Let's make sense of your site.

Tell us about a site — a plant, a dam, a campus, a cold store. We'll show you the platform on demo data like yours and plan a pilot with nodes on your equipment.
