Connected spill containment · Industrial IoT

Know the moment a spill kit gets used.

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.

How it works

Drop it in. Compliance happens.

Three steps. No electrician, no IT ticket, no installer.

1

We ship the puck.

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.

2

You drop it in.

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.

3

You know everything.

Real-time alerts the moment a kit gets touched. Auto-generated monthly activity logs that strengthen your inspection record. Multi-site rollup dashboard if you run more than one yard.

What you get

An audit trail your inspector wants to see.

Sorbnode supplements your required visual inspection — it does not replace it. What it does replace is your blind spots between walkarounds.

Real-time incident alerts

When a kit is opened, lifted, or disturbed, our classifier distinguishes routine handling from likely incident response. You get notified in under sixty seconds.

Auditable activity log

Tamper-evident, timestamped record of every event between your monthly inspections. Auto-generated PDF ready to e-sign and hand to an EPA inspector.

State threshold notifications

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.

Multi-site map dashboard

Every yard as a pin, every kit at each site, color-coded by status. Role-based access for site managers, ops leads, and compliance officers. Built for fleet operators with kits across multiple outdoor locations and state lines.

Cellular built in

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.

Run by agents, not field staff

Sorbnode is operated remotely by AI agents — monitoring kits, generating activity logs, triaging alerts, and producing compliance archives 24/7. No trucks, no service techs, no scheduled visits. The hardware lives in your kit and never moves.

The moment a kit opens

You hear it before the lid hits the latch.

Here's exactly what an operator sees the second a spill kit gets touched at a fleet yard in Eden, NC. Live dashboard on the left. The same alert hitting the manager's phone and inbox on the right.

A note from the founder

I've sold spill kits for twenty-five years. Now I'm fixing the part nobody fixed.

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, I want your first ten kits. Reach out and let's talk numbers.
