Machine sensors business brings industry to former coffeehouse location in Glens Falls

GLENS FALLS — When Michael Howard began designing and building sensors to monitor industrial equipment out of his South Glens Falls home six years ago, he had hoped his business venture would flourish.

Today, Erbessd Instruments and Vibro-Lasers helps more than 2,000 clients around the world monitor the condition of vital equipment, saving companies — from the likes of Google to the U.S. Navy — millions of dollars in costly repairs and lengthy shutdowns.

“We design, manufacture, develop and sell equipment that diagnoses problems with machines before those problems become very expensive,” Howard said.

Shortly after launching the business, Howard and his wife, Megh, set up shop at the Chase Sports complex in South Glens Falls, before relocating to a small facility in Queensbury a few years later.
