Applications
Structural Health Monitoring
Condition Monitoring 
Process Control Structural Health Monitoring
Precision Metrology Environment Monitoring
Continuous, wireless Structural Health Monitoring
Implanted in concrete, plastics, rubber, steel, composite or wood, requiring no maintenance or wires, SENSeOR’s SAW sensors enable Structural Health Monitoring where it was previously impossible. Continuous monitoring of engineered structures results in early detection of deformations before they lead to damage, thus improving safety and reducing total costs of ownership. Wireless passive SAW strain gages or SAW temperature sensors can be embedded into components, and networked, to provide real-time surveillance of structures and equipment.
