AP Sensing Overview

Company Headquarters: Germany

Founded: 2007

Workforce: ~ 5,100

Company Working: AP Sensing provides distributed optical sensing technology for leak detection, flow assurance, and heat tracing. Power cable monitoring, heat or fire detection, pipeline and LNG monitoring, well and reservoir monitoring, rail monitoring, perimeter monitoring, geo- and hydrological applications, and more are some of the company's primary applications. The technology solutions available are distributed temperature & acoustic sensing, which measures temperature & vibrations using interferometric vibration sensing (DVS), Brillouin OTDR/OTDA (DTSS), coherent OTDR (DAS), or other fiber optic sensing technologies in fibre optic sensor cables. The fibre is used in conjunction with SmartVision, a software application for schematic asset visualization through the integration of monitored data; SmartAlarm, a proprietary algorithm that analyses DTS & DAS acoustic data and raises alarms as specified solely in the program; and other technologies.

Strategy

AP Sensing focusing on customer needs which is enabling ongoing success. Additionally,, the business aspires to constantly build upon the 35+ year HP/Agilent tradition of optical test leadership, continue to set the bar for the sector, and seek to be the greatest partner possible.

Key Developments

Date	Approach	Development
March 2023	Product Launch	The N45-Series is the third-generation fibre optic linear heat detection (LHD) system introduced by AP Sensing. With up to 16 km and four channels for all distance ranges, the LHD N45-Series features the longest approved distance range on the market. The system also provides a reasonably priced option that is simple to install, low-maintenance, immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and provides accurate location and monitoring of fire occurrences.

May 2021	Product Launch	The N45-Series is the third-generation fibre optic linear heat detection (LHD) system introduced by AP Sensing. With up to 16 km and four channels for all distance ranges, the LHD N45-Series features the longest approved distance range on the market. The system also provides a reasonably priced option that is simple to install, low-maintenance, immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and provides accurate location and monitoring of fire occurrences. AP Sensing has introduced the latest generation of acoustic sensing technology. With the introduction of its 5th Generation of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), AP Sensing advances asset monitoring technology by creating a system that, in contrast to conventional point sensors, offers gapless monitoring of priceless infrastructure like pipelines, power cables, and trains. Product Launch
July 2021	Partnership	The rail operator, OBB Infrastructure, looked at a number of technical options for the monitoring of high-voltage cables and, through its partner Honeywell, decided on AP Sensing's Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology.
