Distributed Acoustic Sensing is a reflectometry technique that uses Rayleigh scattering, inside an optical fiber, to detect vibrations in a distributed way. This technique transforms already installed fiber optics into a chain (>50 km) of small vibration sensors. At detected vibrations are a response to any physical event surrounding the fiber, which can be: people walking and running, manual and automatic digging, oil and gas leaks, oil and gas flow, plane wing vibrations, road traffic.
Distributed Temperature Sensing is a reflectometry technique that uses Raman and/or Brillouin scattering, inside an optical fiber, to detect the temperature in a distributed way. This technique transforms already installed fiber optics into a chain (>50 km) of small temperature sensors. Distributed temperature measurement has a wide range of applications: oil and gas leaks, hihg power cable monitoring, engines monitoring, switchgear monitoring, structure.
Low maintenance and operation costs, given that fiber optic´s useful life is at least 30 years.
Electromagnetic interference is immune.
Performs well in hostile environments, with temperatures higher than 300 degrees, at places that are subject to radiation, high voltage lines & gt; 100 kV.
When transforming the fiber into an array of thousands of sensors, it is necessary a high performance processing system that offers real time response with extremely low latency, in real time and 24/7/365 availability. Our technology is developed based on a “system on chip” (SoC) platform that integrates analog signal conditioners, high-speed analog to digital converters and high performance parallel digital processing based on FPGAs. This makes our technology an “edge computing” solution.
Our “Ultrafast processing” allows the implementation of advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to detect and classify events, with very low false positive rates. Our edge computing solution is based on embedded machine learning and deep learning algorithms, which is the key for implementing IoT devices leveraging the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0. Your team can make decisions with confidence and assertiveness by identifying anomalies in the early stage, anticipating failure events and decreasing economic, ecological and social damage. Future Photonics offers the ideal solution to expand your profits by increasing productivity, reducing costs and improving customer service. Our world class technology minimizes operational risks and expenses while maximizing the quality and value of the services you provide.
Our software is a suit developed to integrate the information from one or more remote monitoring units (RMU) allowing you to map using GIS tools to identify an event´s location precisely in real time. It enables you to generate alarms, waterfall graphics, reports, records. Our software also offers APIs for interconnection with your systems or platforms, which can be integrated with CCTV systems and Drone monitoring systems. Our software also allows you to access your tools remotely and highly secure from anywhere in the world.
