COMPOSITES PRESSURE VESSELS
STRUCTURAL COMPOSITES
We implement fiber optic sensing technologies in composites manufacturing processes, delivering actionable digital insights during the complete lifecycle of composites structures.
CONDITION MONITORING
Com&Sens’ mission is to digitize the lifecycle of structural composites.
Combining digital factory fingerprints with operational condition data, we deliver reliability and performance digital insights to operators and users.
Sensing the composites structures during service enables predictive maintenance, failure prediction, damage detection, and lifetime extension capabilities.
Com&Sens provides sensor integration services, sensors, data acquisition & communication systems, with actionable datasets of service life conditions of composite structures, for integration in any external data pool.
DIGITAL FACTORY FINGERPRINTS
Com&Sens brings value with new digital insights to the composites industry, providing manufacturers with engineering services, sensors, systems and actionable data from the digitalization of MAIT (manufacturing, assembly, integration & testing) parameters, reducing production costs and increasing processes performances and product quality.

COM&SENS UNIQUENESS
COM&SENS STANDS FOR COMPOSITES & SENSING
SENSOR EMBEDDING
Com&Sens has over 10 years of track record in (robust & semi-automated) embedding fiber optic sensing technologies in filament winding, AFP/ATL, prepreg, pultrusion, infusion or braiding composites processing technologies.
We engineer sensor architectures and embedding strategies of the process, relative to the process specifications (thermosets or thermoplastics), and the monitoring objectives.
SENSOR (RE)CONNECTION
Our unique sensor embedding experience, combined with a strong academic background, permit Com&Sens to continuously develop game-changing patented technologies, opening the doors to the industrialization of ‘smart’ composites structures.
Our ‘Edge & Surface’ connection technologies are pushing the boundaries of industrialization and scalability of ‘smart’ composites.
The Edge connection technology allows reconnecting an embedded fiber post machining of the composites part.
SURFACE MOUNTING SENSORS
Com&Sens’ unique composites reinforced sensing rod solution (FSR) has proven robustness and reliability in very harsh environments for sensing existing structures.
Benefit of the advantages of fiber optic sensing on almost any structure with our robust & straightforward sensor implementation methodology, surpassing legacy strain sensor technologies in cost-effectiveness, ease of installation and versatility.
DATA AQUISITION & COMMUNICATION
For production floors or onboard, wired or wireless, with or without power supply, fitted in mobile casings, for periodic or continuous monitoring, static or dynamic measurements; we engineer, assemble, test, and supply the data acquisition systems that fit the monitoring/data performances objectives and the operational conditions.
DATA PROCESSING
We tailor the data processing & delivery process to your project requirements.
- From creating interactive reports from R&D or test campaigns data.
- Supply the data in a custom format specific to your needs, to be used with your FEM models.
- Seamlessly integrate FBG sensor data with your existing IOT infrastructure
- Create periodic reports, live dashboards and/or digital twins to enable swift and accurate decision-making of long-term measurement campaigns.
- Perform advanced data analytics including event detection, alarming, and trend detection using statistical methods and machine learning.
