Fiber Optic Sensing: Your 24/7 Guardian

Fiber optic sensing is a revolutionary technology that transforms your existing fiber optic cables into thousands of vigilant sensors, creating a comprehensive fiber optic monitoring system. Unlike traditional methods, fiber optic sensing provides continuous, real-time monitoring of your entire infrastructure. It detects even the slightest changes in temperature, strain, and vibrations, giving you unparalleled insights into the health of your assets.

Proven Success Across Industries

It  isn’t just theoretical – it’s a proven solution with tangible results across industries:

• Power Utilities: Prevent outages by detecting cable hotspots with fiber optic temperature sensors.
• Oil & Gas: Ensure pipeline integrity and stop leaks early using distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS).
• Telecom Providers: Safeguard networks from fiber breaks and intrusions with fiber optic monitoring solutions.
• Transportation: Fiber optic strain sensors monitor bridges and other structures for signs of stress, ensuring safety and enabling proactive maintenance.

Unparalleled Insights for Proactive Protection

It offers a range of technologies to meet your specific needs:

• Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS): Pinpoints areas of overheating with high accuracy, ideal for power cable monitoring, fire detection, and industrial processes.
• Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS): Detects and locates vibrations and acoustic disturbances, crucial for perimeter security, leak detection in pipelines, and railway monitoring.
• Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS): Monitors strain along the fiber, enabling structural health monitoring for bridges, buildings, and pipelines.

With these real-time insights, you can:

• Detect and locate potential threats: Identify issues before they escalate into major problems.
• Prevent costly damage: Minimize repairs and downtime with proactive maintenance.
• Optimize operations: Improve efficiency and performance by monitoring key parameters.
• Enhance safety: Protect your assets, personnel, and the environment.

Fiber optic sensing utilizes the properties of light, such as Brillouin and Raman scattering. By analyzing how light interacts with the fiber optic cable, specialized interrogators provide real-time data on temperature, strain, and vibrations along the entire length of the fiber. This creates a “nervous system” for your infrastructure, giving you continuous visibility into its condition.
