Visualize and quantify factory air leaks with acoustic cameras. We report leak volume, financial losses, and CO2 emissions in a comprehensive quantitative report.
20-30% of compressed air used in Japanese factories is lost through leaks in piping and joints. This is equivalent to approximately 3% of Japan's total electricity consumption, resulting in enormous energy costs and CO2 emissions. However, most air leaks produce high-frequency sounds inaudible to the human ear and are invisible to the naked eye, so they have been overlooked for years.
AirMore's air leak inspection service precisely identifies even the finest leaks. Inspections can be performed while the factory is operating, with no need to stop production lines. After the inspection, we calculate the leak volume, annual financial losses, and CO2 emissions for each leak point, and deliver a detailed report with prioritized improvement recommendations. Our practical improvement proposals include repair methods, required materials, and labor estimates to ensure reliable cost reductions.
20–30% of the compressed air used in Japanese factories is said to be lost to leaks. At the factories AirMore diagnosed in 2025, acoustic cameras identified 1,698 air leaks in total — revealing an estimated ¥24.9 million and about 652 t-CO₂ in annual losses. Air leaks are hard to see or hear, and keep leaking unnoticed.
Wondering how much your factory loses every year?
Six steps from survey form submission to improvement proposals.
01
Fill out and submit the survey form before the diagnosis. Based on your submission, we can estimate the potential cost reductions.

02
Our staff visit your factory and measure high-frequency leak sounds — inaudible to the human ear — with acoustic cameras to accurately identify leak locations and flow rates. It can be performed while the factory is operating.
03
We attach tags to the air leak points we find. Tag numbers correspond to the report numbers, making each location easy to identify during repairs.
04
We create and submit a report featuring a diagram with plotted tag numbers, comments for each leak point, and priority rankings.
05
A sample of the report delivered after the diagnosis is available, so you can preview the deliverable in advance.

06
Based on the report, we propose appropriate repair methods for each leak point, with end-to-end support from repair work to post-improvement verification.
It depends on the factory size. As a guideline, the 1-day plan covers factories under 30,000 m² with fewer than 10 compressors, and the half-day plan covers factories under 10,000 m² with 3 or fewer compressors.
Yes. Since we use acoustic cameras, the diagnosis can be performed while the factory is operating, with no impact on the production schedule. However, if you wish to detect very minute leaks, performing the diagnosis during factory shutdown is preferable.
We provide a quote based on the factory area and number of equipment. Considering the cost reduction effect, in many cases the investment can be recovered in a short period (1–2 years). Please feel free to start with a free consultation.
We cover all manufacturing industries that use compressed air, including automotive, food, semiconductor, chemical, paper, and more.
