FOTAS combines state-of-the-art Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technologies to provide real-time, high-precision monitoring for infrastructure safety and efficiency. Whether for pipeline integrity, power grid stability, or industrial security, FOTAS offers cost-effective and scalable solutions that enhance predictive maintenance and risk management.
What is FOTAS?
FOTAS is an AI-powered fiber optic sensing system designed to continuously analyze acoustic and thermal variations along optical fibers. This system enables:
- Continuous Infrastructure Monitoring – Detects vibrations, temperature shifts, and mechanical stress.
- Electromagnetic Interference Immunity – Reliable performance in challenging environments.
- Scalability Over Long Distances – Ensures efficiency in large-scale industrial applications.
How FOTAS Works
By utilizing fiber optic cables as distributed sensors, FOTAS can monitor extensive infrastructure networks with no additional power sources required along the line. It provides:
- Acoustic Sensing (DAS): Identifies unauthorized activity, structural movements, and seismic disturbances.
- Temperature Sensing (DTS): Tracks thermal fluctuations for early leak detection and fire prevention.
