Born from more than a decade of research at the University of Pittsburgh and the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Sensible Photonics develops optical-fiber monitoring solutions for power equipment and energy-storage systems. Its sensing platform measures temperature, chemical conditions, and strain to provide early warning of failures and support asset-health assessments, including battery-management integration. The Pittsburgh-connected company’s technology has received recognition through programs including R&D 100, RocketFund, and ARPA-E.
fibrXfibrX is a technology company built around patented monitoring work developed with the U.S. Navy. It helps operators of mission-critical infrastructure detect structural damage and corrosion continuously, using fiber-optic sensing and AI to identify risks before they become failures.
Fluid Photonics CorporationNew York-based Fluid Photonics Corporation develops portable optical sensing platforms that give mining and hydrometallurgical operators continuous, real-time chemical data. Its Hummingbird™ system uses a fluid-fluid microreactor and self-contained instrumentation to turn emerging sensing technologies into process-control tools for demanding and remote environments. The privately held company also supports sensor development from laboratory testing through field deployment.LINDENHURST, NY
