Enable pipeline operators to reduce their maintenance cost
PhotonFirst is provider of innovative sensing solutions for pipeline applications. Our chip-based technology utilizes Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors to enable real-time condition-based monitoring of pipelines and its crucial infrastructure. This enables pipeline operators to improve their operations and reduce maintenance cost.
Why Fiber Optic Sensing for Pipelines?

The PhotonFirst solution is non-intrusive, easy to apply and doesn't impact the structural integrity of an asset
The optical fiber becomes the sensor with FBG-based technology
Fiber optic sensors use light signals to detect various physical properties by observing changes in the light as it travels through the fiber. These changes can be due to temperature, pressure, strain, or other environmental factors.
