HAWK’s Fiber Optic Sensing technology allows for real-time measurements of long assets such as pipelines, conveyors, and fences by monitoring changes that occur in a fiber optic cable affixed to the asset.
This revolutionary technology has the ability to protect assets, equipment, and perimeters. HAWK’s Fiber Optic System is modular in design and can monitor up to 80km (50mi) in real-time 24/7. This type of intelligent monitoring is critical to operating efficiently and protecting valuable assets.
The Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing System has the capability to monitor conveyor health, pipeline leak detection, monitor ground disturbances, identify manual and machine excavation, vehicle movement, hot tapping both above and underground, perimeter security monitoring, and rail network health.
Rather than traditional point instruments, the Fiber Optic Sensing System is distributed alongside the equipment, thereby the entire cable is able to sense disturbances to the application.
The intuitive Fiber Optic System can sense sound (acoustics and vibration), acting as a hypersensitive microphone at every point in the fiber, listening for potential problems. It can also sense temperature, acting as a thermometer to detect heat or thermocouple at every point along with the fiber, feeling for potential problems.
The Fiber Optic System can also sense strain, detecting tiny changes in stress and strain in the application therefore predicting breakages and failures before they have a chance to occur.
