Validated prototype
Scheduled monitoring validated in a relevant environment, with repeatable acquisitions.
Industrial demonstration
Engineered MVP and pilot with an industrial partner, defined KPIs and validation report.
Multimodal patch
PZT and optical fibre in the same patch, from AI/ML diagnostics to prognostics.
Continuous monitoring
Near-real-time monitoring with automated decision support, from a single asset to the whole fleet.
Mechanics, materials and photonics at the same table.
