Sensor solutions for increased safety

For more than 60 years, IABG, a European technology company headquartered near Munich, Germany, has been carrying out safety tests with a focus on analysis, simulation, testing and plant operation. The company has been using acceleration sensors from ASC since 2011, which are specially adapted to the needs of the business and primarily used in seismic analyses as well as vehicle and safety tests.

Construction

From the Nibelungs to the digital twin

The German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin, is
breaking new ground in future-oriented structural testing and monitoring of buildings.
As part of the DFG priority program SPP 2388 (SPP 100+), the historic Nibelungen Bridge in Worms is used as a demonstration and validation object. BAM is carrying out a project to develop new, pioneering methods for digital structural monitoring and proactive maintenance management. On board: smart ASC sensor systems from the ASC AiSys® ECO series.

New approaches to railroad bridge monitoring

Over 25,000 bridges across Germany fall into the accountability of the employees in the bridge monitoring department at DB InfraGO AG. An intense task and extreme responsibility. Supported by ASC Sensors’ expertise, the DB bridge experts are working on an innovative pilot to make the monitoring and proactive maintenance of critical railroad bridges simpler, safer and more cost-effective in the long term.

Continuous infrastructure monitoring (CIM) from high-speed in-service trains

Railway infrastructure monitoring is cumbersome, disruptive and expensive. Or isn’t it? In partnership with Siemens Mobility Türkiye and DB Systemtechnik GmbH, Turkish State Railways (TCDD) decided to take an innovative approach: Continuous Infrastructure Monitoring (CIM). Enabled by ASC sensor technology, they are moving from a reactive “find and fix” approach to a proactive “predict and prevent” strategy.

Renewable energies

High-precision inertial sensors keep wind turbine efficient

Many wind turbines do not achieve optimum output as vibrations can lead to imbalances of the rotor blades that reduce their efficiency. The Kiel-based engineering service provider, eta DYNAMICS GmbH (now GP JOULE Service Engineering GmbH), is changing this: Performance loss is detected by state-of-the-art measurement technology right from its initial occurrence. High-precision ASC accelerometers play a key role in this and, in addition, ensure enhanced operation stability.

Construction

ASC accelerometers increase the structural safety of bridges

Bridges are exposed to immense loads. Their operational safety must therefore be regularly monitored. Continuous condition monitoring has become a well-established alternative to costly on-site inspections. Dewesoft’s high-performance data acquisition systems and ASC’s high-precision inertial sensors are already active on many bridges globally, including the world’s longest bridge-tunnel sea crossing, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge in China.

Logistic

Sensor solutions for the automated flow of goods

ASC sensor solutions enable the precise navigation and optimization of the driving dynamics of automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Whether in warehouses, factories or container ports, AGVs play a key role and are an integral part of automated operational processes. However, the vehicles must be able to navigate with high precision in order to find their destination quickly and safely. With high-precision sensors from ASC, exact positioning, flexible routing and optimum driving dynamics are guaranteed at all times.

Logistic

Fast and safe container handling with rotation sensors from ASC

A leading manufacturer of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) supplies cargo terminals across the globe. ASC gyroscopes ensure their precise navigation, high working speeds, efficiency, safety and uninterrupted operations.

Mit hochpräzisen ASC-Sensoren sicher auf (und in) den Weltmeeren unterwegs

Shipping

Safe at sea with ASC sensor-enabled ship design

The Dutch research institute Marin tests vessels for their safety at sea. In large-scale models, ASC acceleration sensors are used in optimizing constructions and sustainability as well as in issue detection. They are further leveraged to evaluate an innovative hyperloop pilot for underwater passenger transport in high-speed capsules.

Hochgenaue Beschleunigungssensoren helfen, Kosten von Fahrzeugtests deutlich zu senken

Automotive

Accurate acceleration sensors help reduce the complexity and cost of vehicle testing

Through its durability transfer process, Kempten-based monitoring specialist monalysis is capable of conducting vehicle tests far more cost-efficiently than before. Based on ASC’s high-precision acceleration sensors, this system is able to collect and process a wide range of data. Manufacturers including MAN Truck & Bus SE are leveraging this approach to reduce cost and strengthen outcomes.

Rail transport

ASC sensors aid long-distance train certification for active service

Passenger train registration testing must meet the highest safety and riding comfort standards. In registration tests of a new British long-distance train, measuring technology specialist imc utilized ASC sensors that could be configured and installed in minimum time. They convinced with extreme accuracy, sensibility yet robustness and could be seamlessly integrated in imc’s CRONOSflex measuring unit.

Sen​soren von ASC helfen der Deutschen Bahn, Strecken in Echtzeit zu überwachen und Schäden früh zu erkennen

Rail transport

ASC sensors help Deutsche Bahn monitor tracks and detect damage in real time

Thousands of kilometers of rail tracks and their surrounding infrastructure require constant monitoring. DB Systemtechnik involves regular trains in track monitoring. With the highest precision, ASC sensors fixed to the running trains scan the track beds. The highly sensitive sensor technology helps prevent track closures, delays and unnecessary damage and increases the economics and sustainability of the railway system.

Rail transport

Train testing under toughest conditions

To keep passengers, trains and equipment safe, railway manufacturer Alstom relies on ASC sensors to determine accurate running dynamics and bogie frame strength under real-life conditions. Learn how this helps to ensure smooth train operation, accident prevention, passenger comfort and economic benefits.
