This new service will allow process manufacturers to clean and prevent fouling from industrial equipment and piping by using software-guided ultrasonic technology. Both companies have now signed a licensing agreement of Altum’s ZPD technology to make the Smart Cleaning Service available throughout Japan across different industries like energy, petrochemicals, paper manufacturing, food, beverage companies and more.
Now Altum and NSE are combining forces to provide an ultrasonic solution that is not only powerful enough but effective for large and several types of industrial process equipment and devices. From now on companies won’t be suffering from fouling and its many related issues like production and capacity loss.
Regarding the current market size, which the Smart Cleaning Service will be covering in Japan, is estimated to be $1.8 billion dollars (200 billion yen). NSE and Altum will continue working towards expanding this market size to new heights.
The goal of Altum and NSE collaboration is not only to bring benefits to the industry but also to the entire Planet as there will be CO2 emissions reduction from industrial production facilities. In addition, alternative methods of cleaning include toxic chemicals and it is the aim of Altum and NSE to eliminate or reduce the need of using these chemicals for cleaning production processes. NSE’s and Altum’s ultrasonic service will serve as an unprecedented tool to fight climate change to help companies to meet several of the UN set SDGs.
Altum has also secured next round of growth funding from LocalTapiola insurance companies, Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment Ltd) and Maki.vc.
Altum provides its ZPD service globally to process industry contributing to improve the energy efficiency of factories. This will reduce the environmental burden and will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society through its widespread use.

Verdantis Rebrands as the AI Super-Agent for MRO, Sets Sights on AI-Native Enterprise Asset Management8.9.2026 16:06:00 CEST | Press release
Nine AI agents now run the MRO decision chain for Fortune 500 plants; new tagline “Anticipate. Resolve. Learn.” Verdantis, the AI company for spare parts and MRO inventory optimization in asset-intensive industries, today unveiled its new brand identity as the AI Super-agent for MRO and announced it is building toward a fully AI-native Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platform. Verdantis’s super-agent orchestrates nine specialized AI agents across the decisions that decide plant uptime: spare parts, criticality, demand, reorder, and work order planning. These decisions set working capital, maintenance spend, and whether a critical asset runs and, in most plants, they are still made in spreadsheets and disconnected systems. The positioning is for the teams who own uptime - maintenance, reliability, and MRO supply chain leaders in oil and gas, mining, utilities, chemicals, and manufacturing. And it reflects an AI-first architecture: agents decide and act by default; people supervise, ov
