Sahalovy.ch Industrial Landscape

A public statistical view and a deliberately limited company index derived from a much larger registry.

The full registry is not published. Public pages omit source notes, relationship graphs, procurement notes, installed-base intelligence, internal assessments, detailed product mapping and patent genealogy.

Checkpoint: R416; canonical base v351 / R246. Figures describe different layers and are not interchangeable: registry records can represent multiple technology/product rows for one organization.

About the data: built from public internet sources such as company websites, patent databases, publications and conference materials.

Public view: this page shows only a small part of the working registry; detailed notes and source trails stay private.

A small public sample

Below is a small sample of the registry: company name, geography and one broad technology category. The full working data stays private.

What the registry contains

This view is calculated from the physical Master and shows aggregate structure only. One organization can appear in several records because different products, subsystems or technology roles are stored separately.

7,027 records have a non-empty category field. The remainder row combines all categories not shown separately plus blank values. These are record counts, not company counts.

3,701 canonical people nodes · 1,014 explicitly normalized authors · 230 canonical people currently linked to a registry entity.

Detailed company records, sources, relationship edges and internal assessment fields are not included in this public export.

Registry origin. Systematic supplier/market research is documented from 29 April 2026. A structured expandable vacuum-equipment supplier catalog is explicitly documented on 27 May 2026 with 249 supplier/service/infrastructure rows. The September versions are later expansion checkpoints, not the start of the registry.

A compact view of the registry start date, current scale, disclosure boundary and first-week growth.

Structured registry documented: 27 May 2026.

The chart below is intentionally illustrative. It shows how the documented structured supplier catalog expanded from the May 2026 baseline to the latest public checkpoint. It is not a day-by-day audit chart and it should be read as a visual summary of growth rather than a forensic log.

Illustrative series shown: indexed supplier / organization labels. The public site exposes only a limited layer, while the internal registry contains deeper evidence, patent and relationship data.

Illustrative growth chart of the registry from 27 May 2026 through the 13 September 2026 current checkpoint

Milestones used in the chart: start of the current build (27 May 2026), v48 stable snapshot (989 indexed organizations), v112 checkpoint (1,614), v344/R200 organization-label checkpoint (1,811), and v351/R246 current Master (7,032 records).

Milestones

Date	Milestone	Illustrative value
27 May 2026	Structured expandable supplier catalog	249
04 Sep 2026	v48 stable snapshot	989
05 Sep 2026	v112 checkpoint	1,614
10 Sep 2026	v344/R200 organization-label checkpoint	1,811
13 Sep 2026	R416 current organization-label index	2,242

The numbers are there simply to show the pace of growth.

Illustrative growth of canonical patent families

This second illustrative chart shows the growth of the working patent landscape in family-normalized form.

Illustrative series shown: canonical patent families. The chart is intended for public orientation only; full family genealogy, evidence chains and internal patent controls remain private.

Illustrative patent family growth chart from 27 May 2026 through the 13 September 2026 current checkpoint

Milestones used in the chart: start of the current build (27 May 2026), v48 stable snapshot (371 families), v112 checkpoint (746), v344/R200 organization-label checkpoint (1,811), and v351/R246 current Master (7,032 records).

Milestones

Date	Milestone	Illustrative value
27 May 2026	Structured expandable supplier catalog	249

10 Sep 2026	v344/R200 patent-family checkpoint	1,244
13 Sep 2026	R416 current strict family layer	1,124

These values present the public narrative of growth, not the full internal patent-audit log.

Region × record category

Exact Master_Registry record counts for the eight largest category labels across four largest region labels; no company-level detail is exposed.

Counts are Master_Registry records, not unique companies. No company-level relationship data is exposed here.

I started this because I wanted a clearer view of the vacuum, plasma and surface-engineering world and a faster way to find suppliers, partners and useful technology links. I built it myself from open sources, and it has become one of the tools I rely on in my own work. I hope the public part is useful to you too.
