Product development support

A typical engineering product development program work flow could be schematised with the following loop:
design > simulation > manufacturing > testing > data analysis > [back to design].

System efficiency optimisation

A close loop analysis of the system continuous function monitoring paired with an active control approach increases the outcome performance of the system itself.

Structure health monitoring

An essential part of safety and quality assurance is the management and the constant control of the current status of various engineering applications.

NOVA shape sensing

NOVA-Shape Sensing is a patented application that allow to track the displacements and so the deformation of surfaces on where applied.
This special sensing technique has immense potential in term of variety of applications and it is a game changer in the field of real time structures monitoring.

NOVA temperature sensing technology

NOVA-Temperature Sensing technology is a patented application based on novel range-resolved interferometric signal processing technique.
A temperature gradient applied to a NS (NOVA-Segment), that is the strain sensing element, induces a phase change to the carrier signal of the reflectors.

NOVA strain sensing technology

NOVA-Strain Sensing is a patented application based on novel range-resolved interferometric signal processing technique.
Strain applied to a NS (NOVA-Segment), that is the strain sensing element, induces a phase change to the carrier signal of the reflectors.

Differences between NOVA technology and FBG technology

NOVA SCIENTIA technology introduces a new physics in the optical fibre field that improves all the main characteristics of what is available today with FBG technology: accuracy, data rate speed, monitoring possibilities and costs.
