The Intelligence Layer of
Tomorrow's Infrastructure

A single fiber optic sensing network can transform entire cities, mines, factories, and data centers into intelligent, self-monitoring ecosystems — detecting anomalies, predicting failures, and optimising operations across every square meter of your infrastructure.

Smart City Infrastructure Monitoring

A single distributed fiber optic sensing network embedded throughout an urban environment simultaneously monitors water mains, gas lines, power cables, road surfaces, bridges, tunnels, and underground utilities — creating a real-time digital twin of city infrastructure and enabling proactive maintenance at 40% lower cost than reactive repair.

How It Works

Existing telecoms fiber conduit running beneath city streets is repurposed for simultaneous DAS and DTS sensing without any new civil works. DAS detects water main bursts, gas leaks, traffic patterns, crowd movements, and seismic events. DTS thermally maps buried utility cables and detects power line overloads. DAS also monitors structural vibrations of bridges, flyovers, and retaining walls. AI analytics fuse both acoustic and thermal data streams into a unified city management dashboard — a true real-time digital twin of the built environment.

Key Capabilities

  • Multi-utility monitoring (water, gas, power, structure) from single fiber network
  • Real-time city digital twin — every utility, every structure, live
  • Traffic flow, crowd density, and acoustic environment monitoring
  • Underground utility leak detection without excavation
  • Structural vibration mapping of bridges, flyovers, and retaining walls
  • Earthquake and flood early warning system integration

Mining Operations Monitoring

Sensorlines provides comprehensive geotechnical and safety monitoring for open-pit and underground mines — detecting microseismic events that predict rock bursts, monitoring slope stability in real time, and detecting hazardous gas accumulation before it reaches critical levels.

How It Works

Dense seismic fiber arrays deployed in boreholes and along tunnel walls detect microseismic events down to magnitude −3 — orders of magnitude smaller than what conventional seismometers detect. Statistical pattern analysis of seismic activity identifies zones of increasing rock stress that are likely to experience rock burst, providing actionable warning hours or days in advance. DAS sensors along pit slopes measure acoustic emissions and micro-displacements, detecting slope creep before it becomes visible. DTS in underground tunnels monitors temperature gradients that indicate methane or CO accumulation.

Key Capabilities

  • Microseismic rock burst prediction — detects events down to M−3
  • Open-pit slope instability monitoring via acoustic emission signals
  • Underground hazardous gas accumulation detection
  • Tailings dam deformation and seepage sensing
  • Personnel location and equipment tracking via acoustic signature
  • Blast monitoring, vibration analysis, and damage assessment

Industrial Plant & Factory Monitoring

Sensorlines provides continuous condition monitoring of process pipelines, pressure vessels, rotating equipment, and structural frameworks in chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical facilities, and heavy manufacturing — enabling condition-based maintenance and preventing hazardous incidents before they occur.

How It Works

DTS sensors along process pipelines and reactor jackets provide real-time thermal maps — detecting hot spots, heat loss from insulation damage, and overheating events that precede equipment failure. DAS detects valve cavitation, pump bearing deterioration, pipe flow-induced vibration, and structural resonance anomalies. DAS and DTS also monitor structural frameworks, elevated pipe racks, and pressure vessel walls for fatigue-induced acoustic emissions and thermal shifts. All data integrates with DCS, SCADA, and ERP systems for automated maintenance scheduling and process optimisation.

Key Capabilities

  • Process pipeline and reactor thermal monitoring at 0.1 °C resolution
  • Rotating equipment acoustic health monitoring — pump and valve diagnostics
  • Structural acoustic and thermal fatigue monitoring of pipe racks, frames, and vessels
  • Leak and chemical spill detection on process floors
  • Hot work area fire and temperature exceedance detection
  • DCS / SCADA / ERP integration for automated maintenance workflows

Data Center Environmental Monitoring

DTS provides continuous thermal mapping across server rows, cable trays, raised floors, and cooling infrastructure — detecting hot spots, cooling bypass, and fire risks with sub-meter spatial resolution and under 10-second response time, enabling PUE improvements of 10–15%.

How It Works

A sensing fiber is routed in a zigzag pattern through server halls, under raised floors, and along cable management channels and containment corridors. Every 0.5 m is an independent temperature measurement point — generating a complete thermal map of the data hall updated in real time. Cooling effectiveness, hot aisle/cold aisle separation efficiency, and CRAC/CRAH unit performance are all continuously characterised. The system flags hotspots before servers reach critical temperature, generating an alert with precise rack-level location. Integration with DCIM platforms enables automated CRAC capacity adjustment and power density optimisation.

Key Capabilities

  • Sub-meter hotspot detection — precise to individual rack-unit level
  • Raised floor plenum and underfloor cable tray thermal monitoring
  • Early fire detection — pre-smoke stage thermal anomaly detection
  • CRAC / CRAH cooling effectiveness and bypass airflow mapping
  • Power density optimisation enabling 10–15% PUE improvement
  • DCIM, BMS, and CMMS platform integration via open API
