Sorbnode is a small wireless puck you drop inside any spill kit, drum, or salvage tote. When the kit is touched, opened, or used, we know within sixty seconds — and so do you.
Three steps. No electrician, no IT ticket, no installer.
A small battery-powered device with cellular built in. Ten years of data included. Five-year battery. Arrives in a small box with a quickstart card.
Open your spill kit. Drop the puck inside. Close the kit. Thirty seconds. The puck connects to cellular on its own and registers with our cloud overnight.
Real-time alerts when the kit gets touched. Auto-generated monthly activity logs that strengthen your inspection record. Consumables auto-replenish.
Sorbnode supplements your required visual inspection — it does not replace it. What it does replace is your blind spots between walkarounds.
When a kit is opened, lifted, or disturbed, our classifier distinguishes routine handling from likely incident response. You get notified in under sixty seconds.
Tamper-evident, timestamped record of every event between your monthly inspections. Auto-generated PDF ready to e-sign and hand to an EPA inspector.
When an incident likely exceeds your state's reporting threshold, we alert you and link to the right state regulatory page. You decide what to report.
After a confirmed incident, we ship replacement sorbents, booms, and drain seals so your kit is never empty when you need it next.
No WiFi password, no IT ticket. The puck uses LTE-M cellular with ten years of data included. Works in fuel yards where WiFi doesn't reach.
We come to your site every ninety days for a physical check and battery swap. You never have to think about kit maintenance.
24-month contract. Cellular data, software, quarterly visits, and replenishment all bundled.
$0 hardware. $0 month one. Then standard pricing. Full case-study partnership — we work with your team to refine the product on your real-world activity. Built for outdoor fuel-handling operations: fleet maintenance yards, fuel distributors, generator yards, lubricant transfer stations, quick-lube chains.
I founded First Fiber (oil spill booms) and Spill Source (industrial absorbent distribution). I sold to the fleet yards, fuel distributors, and lube houses that buy spill kits to comply with the same SPCC rule you're complying with right now. The technology to put a sub-$50 cellular sensor inside one of those kits didn't exist until 2024. It does now. Sorbnode is what I would have built ten years ago if it had.
If you remember Spill Source or First Fiber and want to talk before the pilot opens publicly — reach out.
