HDS Leak Detection 2.0$340Kvalue2025start2025end

Preventative leak detection is a growing field in the pipeline monitoring industry. Distributed fiber optic sensing is a major technology platform for this service. Hifi's high fidelity dynamic sensing system (HDS) is capable of sensing acoustics, temperature, strain and vibration in or near a pipeline in very high fidelity. The system, which can monitor very long distances, has been successfully used for leak detection in land and offshore pipelines in Canada and the United States, as well as in other international regions such as South America and Europe. A variety of artificial intelligen

Fiber Optic Monitoring of Mining Conveyors$200Kvalue2023start2025end

Success of the HDS™ technology in the pipeline sector has sparked interest in other resource industries, notably global mining entities interested in its use for monitoring of long-run conveyor systems. This project aims to develop the capability for autonomous identification of faulty conveyor components (idlers) through use of advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve operating efficiencies and preclude the need for high-risk conveyor maintenance activities. The mining application presents several novel challenges including the nature of key events, ambient environment, and requ
