SHM System at MSPO – International Defence Industry Exhibition!

We are proud to confirm our participation at MSPO, one of the year’s most important and largest defence events.

The MSPO International Defence Industry Exhibition provides a unique platform where the greatest achievements of the defence industry worldwide are showcased, and industry leaders, innovators and experts come together to share knowledge and promote the latest technologies.

It is a great honour for us to be part of this event with the PPTF – Polish Photonics Technology Platform and its members.

Welcome to stand E-53! We will be there on Thursday, 7 September, ready to make new contacts and showcase our latest solutions.

Event summary of the first half of 2023 in SHM System

We are incredibly proud to have participated in 9 international conferences this year! It has been a remarkable experience, allowing us to gain valuable knowledge, establish inspiring connections, and share our accomplishments with experts worldwide. We extend our gratitude to our entire team for their dedication and hard work, enabling us to be part of these significant events. We are ready for more challenges and further growth for our company!

See you at the next trade shows, events and conferences!

Finding new talent at the International Photonics Job Fair in Warsaw

DFOS-based structural health monitoring and the corresponding R&D require the expertise of specialists in construction, geotechnics, mechanics, electronics, computer science, optics, and photonics. 

That is why we were at the International Photonics Job Fair at the faculty of physics of the Warsaw University of Technology to recruit talented individuals and future experts in the field of optical sensors!

Special thanks to Łukasz, Tymoteusz and Tomasz for representing Nerve-Sensors at the fair! 💪

The 2023 Smart City Summit and Expo

Smart City Summit and Expo, along with the 2050 Net Zero City Expo, aim to connect global urban forces and take action in implementing digital and green transformations in cities. Through showcasing numerous solutions and exchanging experiences, the goal is to utilize smart technology to address issues related to urban transportation, healthcare, and the environment, ultimately making our homes a better place.

We have spent three days participating in great meetings, networking sessions and forums and can’t wait to visit beautiful Taiwan again. We shared a stand on the 4th floor of the Global Pavilion with the Polish Technological Platform on Photonics, promoting our Distributed Fibre Optic Nerve-Sensors on the booth.

SHM System at the Czech-Polish Photonics 2023 workshop 

We had the pleasure to participate in the first edition of the Czech-Polish Photonics workshop. The event took place in the Technical University of Ostrava. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet experts in the field of photonics and work with them, to broaden our horizons. Connecting the Polish photonics industry with its Czech counterpart, through discussing possibilities of cooperation and exchanging ideas freely, was the main point of this event.

We would like to thank the organizers for inviting us!

Happy Christmas Holiday & 10 years of SHM System

We have been taking care of the safety by creating unique construction monitoring systems for 10 years now!

We sincerely thank you for this time while wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, full of professional success and prosperity in your personal life. 🎄 🎀 🎊

During this decade, our company has grown significantly – both in terms of the size of the Team and market position as well. We have realized more than 200 construction safety monitoring systems, developed more than 120 scientific publications, and filed 10 patent applications, 5 of which have already been granted. We have also been successfully implementing projects abroad for several years. But this is certainly not the end of our ambitions and capabilities!

On the occasion of the anniversary, we would also like to thank our employees for their commitment and professionalism and for conscientiously performing their duties despite the many daily challenges. We hope that working in our team is a source of satisfaction and professional fulfilment. We have no doubt that the next years will bring more great success! 💯

Winter DFOS measurements of the railway line

We are enjoying the beautiful Polish winter while working hard in the field! Our last measurement session was done at -15°C ⛄️

One of our recent projects is the long-term fibre optic monitoring of the railway line. More than 2 km of composite Nerve-Sensors were installed to measure strains, temperatures and displacements. Static and dynamic readings are provided by using five different optical devices. In addition, inclinometer measurements will also be made to support the monitoring system.

This is the first such project in Poland!

Distributed sensing at Lodz University of Technology 

We have already collaborated with almost all technical universities in Poland. Now, the list has been extended by the Lodz University of Technology (Politechnika Łódzka). It is our pleasure to support measurements of reinforced concrete slabs and beams strengthened with shape-memory steel. This unique research is done under the supervision of prof. Renata Kotynia. Congratulations!

Structural Faults + Repair & European Bridge Conference 2022

We are pleased to announce that SHM System & Nerve-Sensors stand was awarded for the most outstanding exhibition at the 18th European Bridge Conference in Edinburgh! Congrats to our team for this great job!

We also presented an article: „Composite DFOS sensors as a nervous system of smart bridges – examples of load tests” during this event.

30th International Conference on Structural Failures 2022

Once again, we had the pleasure to participate in the 30th International Conference on Structural Failures 2022, traditionally organised in Międzyzdroje, Poland. One of the ways to prevent failures of engineering structures is to use an appropriate monitoring system based on adequate measurement techniques. One of the papers discusses an example of using the DFOS Optical Fibre technique to analyse the deformation state of steel anchors of the University Bridge in Bydgoszcz.

This is one of the most famous bridge in Poland, due to its unusual geometry and construction solutions applied. The pylon consists of two parts in the shape of capital Greek letters: alpha and omega. The steel deck was suspended from the pylon using sixteen steel cables. After only 7 years of operation, it experienced a failure. A condition survey identified permanent (plastic) deformation of the plates within the cable anchorages to the steel girders. The paper presented an innovative method of analyzing deformations of these elements using geometrically continuous Fiber Optic measurements DFOS (Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing). The measurements were performed during the repair works and provided unique data allowing for the identification of the most stressed zones.
