SENSING & MONITORING

The track focuses on providing sensing technologies that enable the monitoring of nonmetallic assets (i.e., pipes, joints) during various phases of their lifetime to provide accurate information for operators to assess their condition and support operational/maintenance decisions.  

Key Objectives

  • Develop novel sensing methods to track parameters relating to the condition/integrity of critical nonmetallic assets during production/installation (i.e., adhesive joint curing) and operation (i.e., pipeline strain due to pressure loads)

  • Develop novel sensing technologies and information pipelines to enable monitoring of assets, including in remote and difficult conditions (i.e., underground wireless communications)

  • Develop digitalization frameworks (e.g., digital twinning) to maximize information utilization from existing or retrofitted sensors for improved decision-making and operational planning.

  • Validation and testing of new technologies under various implementation scenarios and harsh operational/environmental conditions (i.e., high temperature, high humidity)

  • Develop sensing solutions with a focus on implementation feasibility, low cost, and sustainable long-term operation to provide maximum value of investment and support industrial uptake.

Collaboration Opportunities

The track is actively seeking collaboration opportunities with :

  • Academic Institutions and RTOs, to collaborate in research on novel sensing technologies, measurement systems, and data-driven methodologies.

  • SMEs and Sensing Technology Providers, to collaborate in developing bespoke systems and products for industrial applications.

We welcome collaboration on innovative studies and joint funding opportunities. If you are interested in partnering with the ENERCOMP Sensing and Monitoring team, please don't hesitate to get in touch; together, we can develop cutting-edge solutions for the industry.
