RDI Technologies

RDI develops camera-based vibration analysis software branded as Motion Amplification. The platform processes high-speed video to measure micro-scale movement on industrial machinery and structures, then overlays amplified motion onto the original footage. Engineers use the output to identify root causes of vibration problems — looseness, resonance, imbalance, cracking — without attaching physical sensors or shutting down equipment.

Falfurrias Capital Partners holds a majority stake following their July 2023 growth equity investment. Founder Jeff Hay retained a significant minority position and continues leading the company as CEO. Falfurrias partner Chip Johnson joined the board of directors as part of the transaction.

The company's patent portfolio centers on phase-based motion amplification — the algorithmic technique that measures sub-pixel displacement frame by frame and reconstructs it as visible motion. This patent family covers the core method of extracting vibration data from video regardless of camera hardware, which limits the ability of larger industrial-automation platforms to replicate the technology without licensing.
