This shock detector and counter is a revolutionary innovation the size of a credit card chip, operating without energy or electronics. This new hybrid MEMS sensor technology offers decades of autonomy. Robust and autonomous, it can be easily installed on mobile devices (helmets, ballistic plates or PCs) or larger structures (aircraft, ships, bridges, buildings). It provides accurate monitoring, improving safety in use and enabling immediate operational decisions. A unique approach enabling each object to give its status.

These sensors are distinguished by their total absence of energy requirements and their exceptional accuracy and reliability, with no need for calibration or drift correction. They are designed to operate in harsh environments, including underwater and in space. Ultralight, compact and autonomous, these sensors are ATEX-compatible.
In the basic version, these sensors are read using an optical method, with or without image processing. RFID and connected versions are currently being developed to meet the need for digitization and automation of monitoring and maintenance processes.
Thanks to their energy-free operating principle, our shock detector and counter technologies are designed to meet the most stringent objectives in terms of environmental impact, both in terms of their operation and the use of the monitoring data they generate. In fact, they stand out clearly from 'Big Data', with gains of between 70% and 99.9% depending on the various environmental criteria, compared with energy-powered approaches. These considerable gains place our sensor technologies in the category of disruptive approaches to maintenance in operational condition. Only the right data required for the operational monitoring objective is detected and recorded. This targeted approach to relevant data meets the surveillance objectives 24/7 over very long periods (several decades) with the guarantee of never missing an event, while avoiding the accumulation of raw data of no interest. The result is huge savings on data collected, transported, stored and processed.
