Sensors

The tFITS™ is an optical fiber the size of a human hair, in lengths of up to thousands of feet, is embedded throughout a device, deep inside its core. Laser pulses are fired down the fiber, and the reflected frequency of the laser light is analysed to produce information about the health and status of the equipment Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA). The fiber itself is a sensor, not merely a lead or wire for a point sensor, allowing temperature and strain to be measured over the length of the fiber. This allows utilities to detect what is going on deep inside the device, in real time. tFITs does not produce electromagnetic emissions and is immune to EMI/RF, and special high temperature or harsh environment fibers are also available. The tFITS™ solution is compatible with all utility communication protocols, allowing assets to become IoT-enabled devices.

High resolution sampling provides real-time mass concentration and particle counts for different particle sizes. Diagnostics for OSHA compliance prevent oversampling. The wearable sensor weighs 5.5 ounces and has 10 hours of battery life. The product features automated cloud-based data collection, and data is accessible through a mobile device.

Magseis has designed and manufactured state of the art proprietary technology. The Marine Autonomous Seismic System (MASS) consists of the in-sea cable and sensor capsules, automated handling, and data download.
