Problem
Rotating equipment in industries such as wind energy, marine, and automotive often lacks real-time insights into operational loads and conditions, leading to inefficiencies, increased maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime. Traditional monitoring methods may not provide the precise, continuous data needed to optimize performance and predict failures in demanding environments.
Solution
Sensing360 provides optical sensing solutions that deliver real-time data on loads, torque, speed, temperature, and condition of rotating components like bearings and gearboxes. Their Smart Photonic Sleeve, a steel sleeve embedded with optical sensors, integrates with hardware and signal algorithms to provide a continuous data feed. This enables diagnostics and analytics of rotating equipment, allowing for optimized design, predictive maintenance, and improved operational efficiency. By offering precise operational insights, Sensing360 helps reduce risk, improve safety, lower costs, save energy, and eliminate unplanned downtime.
