O DTS da AP Sensing é simplesmente o mais adequado. Nós o aplicamos juntamente com o ConveySafe em nossas usinas de energia a carvão para proteger nossas esteiras. Os sistemas são imponentes e completamente confiáveis, requerem pouca energia e podem ser facilmente integrados aos ambientes SCADA do cliente. O melhor de tudo, você não compra uma caixa sequer deles e pronto – seu suporte pós-venda é excelente.

Harald Grzybeck
STEAG

A classificação SIL-2 (Nível de integridade da segurança) conquistada pela AP Sensing com seu DTS nos dá a confiança de que sua solução irá funcionar como planejado, todos os dias, em ambientes de alto risco. Os operadores do nosso terminal de GNL dormem mais tranquilos sabendo que nossos recursos estão protegidos e que as normas de segurança são atendidas.

Dr. Stephan Grosswig
GESO

O suporte ao cliente regional da AP Sensing é maravilhoso: competente, completo e rápido. Eles têm sido fundamentais em nossos complexos projetos de canalização ao longo dos anos, e oferecem um suporte ao produto verdadeiramente permanente.

AP SENSING OFFERS COMPLEMENTARY SENSING TECHNOLOGIES

for various markets and specific requirements

DTS

O DTS (Sensor de temperatura distribuído) mede a temperatura ao longo de uma fibra ótica, a cada metro, por vários quilômetros. Isso resulta em um perfil de temperatura preciso e contínuo ao longo do cabo do sensor (1.000 pontos de temperatura por quilômetro).
Mais...

DAS e DVS

Os sistemas DAS (Sensor acústico distribuído) e DVS (Sensor de vibração distribuído) detectam vibrações e capturam energia acústica ao longo da fibra ótica. A fibra funciona como se houvesse milhares de microfones instalados. Algorítimos de classificação são usados para detectar e localizar, por exemplo, atividades de intrusão.
Mais...

SmartVision™

SmartVision™ é uma poderosa plataforma de visualização, desenvolvida pela AP Sensing especificamente para tecnologia de sensores distribuídos. Com seu banco de dados de alto desempenho e robustas capacidades gráficas, é a ferramenta ideal para visualizar e analisar eventos e alarmes sem grandes estruturas.
Mais...

SmartAlarm™

SmartAlarm™ é um conjunto poderoso e comprovado de algorítimos de alarme simples e avançados, que são cruciais para ativar uma alta probabilidade de detecção e baixas taxas de alarmes falsos. Ele ativa a detecção precoce de incêndios, a detecção de pequenos vazamentos e a localização e classificação de TPI (interferência de terceiros).
Mais...

Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR)

Uma Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR ou DCR, Dynamic Cable Rating) calcula a temperatura do condutor do cabo HV e prevê a máxima carga possível das condições térmicas reais e da capacidade de aquecimento do solo a ser examinada.
Mais...

GeoDTS

GeoDTS é uma solução integrada para monitorar poços geotérmicos. Capaz de realizar EGRT (Testes de resposta geotérmica aprimorados) automáticos. Muitas aplicações geológicas e hidrológicas podem ser realizadas com o cabo de sensor híbrido, que contém fios de cobre para aquecimento.
Mais...

Cabos para sensores

Oferecemos uma ampla gama de cabos padrão e cabos personalizados para aplicações criogênicas e de altas temperaturas. Utilizando fibras de vários modos, de modo único, de acrilato, de poliamida, de sílica pura e revestidas de metal. Nossos especialistas estão aqui para ajudá-lo e aconselhá-lo.
