RE:RE:RE:Things that make me laugh . Mr. Greendaze, the idea of the existence of sensors to detect steam trap failure is something that existed for quite some time and I mentioned it years ago when such sensors were being used and when we were salivating over refineries having 10k to 30k steam traps. Such idea was a measure to companies running operations with steam traps failing to shut and therefore contributing to GEM steam traps' advantage of never failing. The prospect of automation taking the information from sensors to increase predictability before failing is an evolution to automation of sensors reporting once this has happened. And maybe this has existed for unknown number of years but was not under the now common term of AI. Had this been part of Thermal's product offering - even just the sensors - we would have known better.
When it comes to SimplyWallstreet, their products are not a result of a qualified analyst, someone with a CFA, writing those reports. You should know from your experience that they are superficial and when they go explaining the theory around the numbers, that is a giveaway that nobody spent tens of hours studying a company.
Pardon the snark to your snark. I thought you may understand my point easier with snark.
In the end, if Thermal would expand its services to this extent, maybe it was would create a new meaningful revenue stream and maybe it wouldn't. There is a cost-benefit to everything and adoption usually depends on the magnitude of the net benefit.
