Sensing360 makes use of optical monitoring systems including interrogator and analysis software. Our sensing platform is based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology and can improve efficiency, enhance performance, productivity, and safety for rotating equipment. These optical systems allow for high sensor density, resolution, and sample rate and any environmental challenge can be tackled; low or high temperature, liquids, electrical or magnetic fields, and remote locations. These features combined will provide you with insights and optimization solutions you have never seen before. Take the opportunity to optimize your application.
