We are pleased to announce that our company has received funding – the SMART of the European Funds for a Modern Economy program for 2021-2027.

The consortium led by SHM System / Nerve-Sensors, in collaboration with Cracow University of Technology (Faculty of Civil Engineering) and the Optical Fiber Technology Lab at Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, is launching a groundbreaking research project worth nearly €7 million.

The project aims to develop the world’s first Distributed Temperature, Elongation (Strain), and Shape (Displacement) sensor.

This cutting-edge innovation will distinguish between thermal and mechanical effects over any length, making it ideal for environments with non-uniform temperature changes and intense mechanical loads.

Key Applications:

• Continuous welded rail diagnostics
• Steel bridge beams
• Concrete girders
• Road pavements
• many more SHM applications

An interdisciplinary team of experts will address mechanical, material, and photonic challenges, creating a product fully compliant with railway standards.

Stay tuned for updates as we progress on this exciting project!
