Fiber Optic Sensing Platform that can consolidate Multiple Measurement Technologies into One

When it comes to Fiber Optic Sensing (FOS), it is obvious that, distributed sensing capabilities are a game changer as they inter alia allow engineers to have access to better data and can detect design flaws earlier in product development.

Summit.

One of the key players of this sector, Sensuron has launched Summit, its new fiber optic sensing platform to provide fully distributed sensing with the ability to combine multiple measurement technologies into a single platform. 

Suitable for design, test, mechanical and stress applications across the automotive, aerospace and energy industries, the new system focuses on: More Data, Greater Sensing Length, Adjustability, Flexibility and Multi-Sensing.

For those who are unfamiliar, Fiber Optic Sensing (FOS) technologies collect and analyze material and structural data based on changes in the way light moves down a fiber optic cable. FOS technologies extract environmental parameters such as strain, loads, temperature gradients, as well as deflection and 3D shape sensing when light is passed through a network of hair-thin fibers. By measuring the changes in how light reflects back given various changes in these parameters, FOS technology can provide real-time monitoring of applications, helping to ensure the integrity, efficiency and long-term durability of equipment.
