What Vibrant Technology does

Vibrant Technology, Inc. is a privately held software company founded in 1991 by Dr. Mark Richardson, Sr. and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, that develops the MEscope Visual Engineering Software Series for vibration analysis and modal testing. The platform serves engineers, analysts, and technicians across aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, electronics, and manufacturing who need to identify resonance, structural faults, and noise/vibration problems in machinery and structures. Its named customer base includes Boeing, Airbus, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Bell Helicopter, Gulfstream, General Motors, Ford, BMW, Porsche, Apple, Intel, Google, GE Power, Chevron, ExxonMobil, 3M, Caterpillar, and International Paper.

MEscope is built around FFT-based signal processing and supports experimental modal analysis, Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) visualization, structural dynamics modification, and video-based vibration measurement. Its differentiator is Video ODS technology, which uses computer vision and optical flow to extract time waveforms and frequency spectra directly from high-speed video recordings, enabling non-contact vibration measurement with ordinary cameras including cell phones. The product suite is tiered: Video ODS (VT-440) is the entry point, Visual ODS adds 3D model construction, Visual Modal adds curve fitting, Visual SDM adds structural modification prediction, and Visual STN bundles all features with FEA correlation. The software integrates with 40+ third-party data acquisition formats and 14+ FEA structure model formats including NASTRAN, Ansys, LMS, I-DEAS, and FEMAP.

Vibrant operates a hybrid revenue model combining perpetual and monthly software licenses (sold direct and via authorized MEscope Distributors) with a tiered transactional service (MEscope Video Assistant at $399/$599/$799) in which customers submit 10-12 second vibration videos and receive post-processed Video ODS results within a week. GTM is sales-led with direct enterprise contact (888-815-5067, [email protected]), complemented by channel partners and self-serve e-commerce for the video service. Training is delivered through a long-standing partnership with Navcon Engineering, which has trained 1,500+ engineers since 1992. Enterprise software pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding rounds, and remains founder-controlled.

Core offering

Vibrant Technology develops and sells the MEscope Visual Engineering Software Series, a Windows-based platform for vibration analysis, experimental modal analysis, and structural dynamics modification. The company also operates a tiered Video Assistant service that post-processes customer-submitted vibration videos and delivers partner-led hands-on modal testing training.

Product overview

Vibrant Technology offers the MEscope visual engineering software series—a platform of specialized tools for vibration analysis, modal testing, and structural dynamics. The product line comprises two families: MEscope Video ODS (for extracting vibration data from video recordings) and MEscope Visual (for analyzing experimental data and performing modal analysis). The software operates on a tiered licensing model where each product builds upon the previous tier: Video ODS forms the entry-level video processing tier, while Visual ODS adds 3D model construction and ODS animation from experimental data. Visual Modal adds basic curve fitting for extracting modal parameters, Visual SDM adds structural modification prediction capabilities, and Visual STN serves as the comprehensive 'soup to nuts' package combining all features with FEA integration. MEscope Video Assistant is a separate professional service offering tiered post-processing of customer-submitted videos.
