Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Meluta Oy appears to be a legitimate, established Finnish technology company (est. 2015) with a team of ~30 and implied annual revenue/valuation of €2.5M. The project demonstrates high real-world utility in industrial acoustics and embedded systems. However, the PoU score is significantly constrained by the low quality of the submission data, which includes hyperbolic, unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and confusion regarding financial metrics. The discrepancy between the company's likely actual maturity and the poor evidence provided results in a score reflecting 'Small but promising' rather than its potential 'Comparable scale' tier.

Description
Situational awareness through sound – safety, productivity and added business value through advanced signal processing. Tilannetietoisuus äänellä – turvallisuutta, tuottavuutta ja liiketoiminta-arvoa edistyksellisellä signaalinkäsittelyllä. Meluta´s special expertise is acoustic and vibro-acoustic (structure-borne sound) phenomena and specifically transforming that knowledge to business value by algorithms and analyses. Meluta also manages research, design and implementation of embedded electronics, radio technologies, digital electronics and low-power systems. Meluta Oy on teknologiankehityspalveluita tuottava yritys. Meluta Oy:n ydinosaaminen on sensoriteknologioissa ja edistyneessä signaalinkäsittelyssä. Yrityksen erityisosaamista ovat akustiset ja vibroakustiset (runkoäänet) ilmiöt sekä niistä liiketoiminta-arvon tuottaminen algoritmien ja analyysien avulla. Yritys hallitsee myös sulautetun elektroniikan, radioteknologioiden, digitaalielektroniikan ja alhaisten tehonkulutuksen järjestelmien tutkimuksen, suunnittelun ja toteuttamisen. For autonomous devices, remote-controllable machinery: sound source classification, localization — real-time modelling of the surroundings by adding sound to the existing sensor collection. Fully embedded systems to any kind of machinery or devices etc. Meluta´s system can monitor several critical targets at the same time and alert the operator when the specific vibrations or sounds of interest are detected. Meluta develops and commercializes technology which is based on the information of sounds and vibrations.
