Distributed Optical Fiber and Acoustic Sensing

DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing)

DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing)

Overview

The DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) system provides real-time, highly accurate temperature monitoring between -20°C and +120°C over distances of tens of kilometers using optical cables. It collects data more than 10 times per second with a resolution of 0.5°C per meter, ensuring maximum reliability and efficiency in diverse industrial environments. DTS is crucial for detecting anomalies in piping, distribution panels, and fire prevention in IT infrastructure, offering exceptional performance in situations like wildfire detection. For instance, it can quickly detect a localized temperature rise from a spark, preventing potential accidents even in the absence of significant smoke.

On the other hand, the DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) system uses the same optical technology to monitor continuous vibrations, noises, and seismic signals in real time. Spanning tens of kilometers, it provides precise monitoring in industries such as oil and gas, railways, and marine. DAS significantly enhances safety by detecting subtle ground vibrations to track earthquakes in real-time and identifying early signs of abnormalities in railways and roads, preventing accidents.

Both DTS and DAS are groundbreaking solutions that revolutionize efficiency and safety in industrial sectors, leveraging SDT's advanced technological capabilities to analyze complex physical signals with quantum technology.
