MICRO SENSORS WITH DISRUPTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
OUT OF ENERGY
Our sensors are purely mechanical and do not require any power source to operate. Like the wind turning the blades of a wind turbine, it is the mechanical and dynamic events that activate our sensors.
UNFAILING DATA
Our sensors collect only the essential data for the operation of a structure or for monitoring a critical component. No sampling is necessary: each "critical" event is captured.
INSTANTANEOUS EXPLOITATION
Without storage or data processing, reading the sensor allows for instant operational decision-making.
NON-STOP
Our sensors capture useful data 24/7, over several decades.
WITHOUT MAINTENANCE, CALIBRATION OR DRIFT
Factory calibrated, our sensors do not need to be recalibrated at installation or subsequently, nor do they require maintenance.
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY
The data is stored mechanically in the sensor, with no risk of losing it.
ATEX COMPATIBLE & ALL ENVIRONMENTS
Our sensors are compatible with ATEX environments and have been qualified in a vacuum and in aqueous environments, without lubricant.
EASY READING & EASY UTILISATION
Several levels of readers are possible: direct optical consultation (without energy), passive RFID (without energy), or connected sensors (energy-free sensors, connected bricks).
ENERGY-FREE

MINIMAL CARBON IMPACT | An energy-free solution that collects, transmits, and stores very little data*, requiring minimal post-processing: this unique operating principle allows for a reduction of up to 97% in greenhouse gas emissions (compared to existing solutions)

WHY CHOOSE CHRONOMEMS?
The energy-free solutions from SilMach have been developed for operational monitoring purposes rather than curative monitoring. Each use case must be linked to an operational need. Typical uses include: drift from nominal behaviour, detection of accidental loading, unexpected service conditions, etc.
PREVENTIVE MONITORING of equipment, structures
Detection and/or counting of a threshold exceedance related to continuous operational monitoring under service conditions.
“EVENT-BASED” ALERTS
The sensor continuously monitors the service conditions in real time. As soon as a critical threshold is exceeded, the sensor acts like a smart switch that can instantly trigger an alert or a dedicated operational procedure.
