CONTINUOUS ASSET TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Fiber Optic Condition Monitoring for Critical Assets
FOTAS INTEGRITY is a high-resolution Distributed Temperature Sensing platform engineered for continuous, long-range asset integrity monitoring.
The system converts a passive fiber optic sensing cable into thousands of distributed temperature measuring points along power cables, pipelines, conveyors, battery systems and electrical infrastructure.
Instead of relying only on isolated temperature readings, INTEGRITY provides a continuous thermal profile that helps engineers identify hot spots, changing operating conditions and deviations from established thermal behavior.
This thermal information supports condition-based and predictive maintenance programs without replacing engineering assessment or asset-specific diagnostic procedures.
UNDERSTANDING THE TECHNOLOGY
How FOTAS INTEGRITY Works
Raman Measurement
The controller sends laser pulses through the fiber and analyzes temperature-dependent Raman backscatter.
Continuous Thermal Profile
The system calculates temperature and position information along the full sensing route.
Trend and Deviation Analysis
Current temperature behavior is compared with configured limits, zones and historical operating patterns.
Explore the Distributed Temperature Sensing principle.
Explore DTS Technology
Learn how Raman backscatter and time-of-flight analysis produce spatially resolved temperature information.
SCALABLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Precision, Range and Channel Architecture
Extended Monitoring Range
Selected configurations provide nominal sensing ranges of 10, 20, 30 or 40 km for long and linear assets.
Multiple Channel Options
Two, four, eight and 16-channel architectures support multiple assets, routes or monitoring zones.
High-Resolution Trend Data
Distributed measurements provide detailed temperature information for baseline, trend and operational analysis.
Thermal Anomaly Localization
Selected configurations support localized thermal anomaly identification under specified installation and operating conditions.
Final sensing distance, spatial resolution, temperature accuracy and localization performance must be confirmed in the applicable datasheet and project design.
ACTIONABLE THERMAL INFORMATION
From Temperature Measurement to Operational Insight
Trend Deviation Alerts
Establish thermal baselines and alert personnel when temperature behavior deviates from its expected or historical pattern.
A deviation indicates that the asset requires investigation; it does not by itself establish a final fault diagnosis.
Load Management Integration
Transfer real-time thermal information to SCADA or operational platforms to support informed load-management decisions.
Dynamic rating functions require the appropriate engineering model, asset data and approved system architecture.
Thermal Data Visualization
Display longitudinal temperature profiles, customized thermal maps, alarm zones and historical trends through the FOTAS software interface.
Engineers gain a continuous view across thousands of distributed measuring locations.
KEY APPLICATIONS
Where FOTAS INTEGRITY Is Used
Power Cable Monitoring
Underground routes, tunnels and trays. Thermal data
supports load assessment and hot-spot investigation.
EV Battery Systems
Manufacturing, testing and storage environments. Early
identification of abnormal heating and thermal imbalance.
Pipeline Monitoring

investigation of connection integrity and hot spots.
CONTINUOUS DISTRIBUTED MEASUREMENT
Close the Monitoring Gap in Critical Assets
Point Temperature Sensors
Point sensors measure temperature only at selected physical locations.
- Individual measurement positions
- Unmonitored spaces between sensors
- More field devices and connections
- Limited visibility along long assets
FOTAS INTEGRITY
The sensing fiber provides spatially resolved temperature information across the installed route.
- Continuous distributed measurement
- Localized hot-spot information
- Longitudinal thermal profiles
- Trend and historical behavior analysis
KEY BENEFITS
Why Choose FOTAS INTEGRITY?
Continuous Asset Visibility
Monitor thermal behavior across the complete installed fiber route rather than only selected sensor locations.
Trend-Based Monitoring
Evaluate temperature development over time instead of relying only on fixed high-temperature alarms.
Localized Thermal Information
Identify where abnormal temperature behavior is occurring along extended assets and infrastructure routes.
Condition-Based Maintenance Support
Use measured thermal data to prioritize inspections and maintenance activities according to asset behavior.
Passive Field Sensing
The fiber sensing cable requires no electrical power or powered electronic sensors along the monitored route.
Immunity to EMI and RFI
Optical sensing is unaffected by electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
Reduced Field Complexity
Continuous fiber sensing reduces dependence on numerous individual field temperature sensors.
Scalable Architecture
Expand monitoring through additional channels, controllers or extended project architecture.
