CONDITION MONITORING

Condition monitoring is all about keeping critical assets running safely and efficiently. Instead of waiting for faults to happen, fiber optic condition monitoring systems provide continuous, real-time insight into the health of equipment and infrastructure. By detecting changes in temperature, strain, or vibration, these systems allow operators to identify problems early, schedule maintenance before failures occur, and avoid costly downtime.

Traditional monitoring often relies on point sensors, which only capture data from limited locations. Bandweaver’s fiber optic technology transforms an entire cable into thousands of monitoring points, delivering full visibility across large and complex assets. This means operators can track performance in detail, predict issues before they escalate, and extend the lifespan of critical equipment.

BENEFITS

Comprehensive Insight

DTS tracks temperature profiles, while DAS monitors vibration, strain, and other dynamic events.

Early Detection

Identifies abnormal heating, cable vibration, mechanical stress, or early-stage corrosion.

Continuous Coverage

Monitors the entire length of an asset with no blind spots.

Predictive Maintenance

Prevents costly failures by addressing issues before they escalate.

TYPES OF SYSTEM

Electrical Assets & Battery Storage

Monitors switchgear, transformers, inverters, and energy storage systems for overheating, vibration, and degradation. In battery systems, continuous monitoring detects thermal runaway risks, abnormal heating, or imbalance, improving safety and preventing catastrophic failures.

Industrial & Process Facilities

From refineries and manufacturing plants to energy storage systems, condition monitoring detects equipment overheating, mechanical imbalance, and corrosion. This enables operators to reduce downtime and maintain safe, efficient operations.

Borehole & Geological Monitoring

Fiber optic sensing provides real-time visibility of temperature, vibration, and ground movement in wells, mines, and geological formations. This supports safe operations, early warning of instability, and improved resource management.

Dam Monitoring

Condition monitoring enhances dam safety by detecting seepage, internal erosion, and vibration changes within embankments and foundations. This provides early warning of potential failure modes and supports regulatory compliance and risk management.
