Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Symroc Business and Project Management Ltd.

$333,000.00

Advanced Digital Seismometer and Full Bandwidth Vibration Monitoring System

FY 2016-17 · 2017-03-01

Summary
Seismometers, geophones and vibration sensors are used in earthquake monitoring, resource industry and research areas. There is a current need for affordable seismometers and vibration monitoring systems that can detect broader range of frequency, with flexible installation, flexible output format, easy data transfer, and real- time monitoring capability. However, this can not be achieved by slight modifications to any existing products currently in the market. The objective of this project is to develop new advanced digital seismometers and very broadband vibration monitoring systems, using Symroc’s revolutionary new technology to fundamentally overcome the detection limitations, and tackling the key challenges to the industry.

Description
Seismometers, geophones and vibration sensors are used in earthquake monitoring, resource industry and research areas. There is a current need for affordable seismometers and vibration monitoring systems that can detect broader range of frequency, with flexible installation, flexible output format, easy data transfer, and real- time monitoring capability.

Description (French)
Les sismomètres, les géophones et les capteurs de vibrations sont utilisés pour la surveillance des tremblements de terre, l'industrie des ressources et la recherche. Il existe actuellement un besoin pour des sismomètres et des systèmes de surveillance des vibrations abordables capables de détecter une plage de fréquences plus large, avec une installation flexible, un format de sortie flexible, un transfert de données facile et une capacité de surveillance en temps réel. Toutefois, cela ne peut être obtenu par de légères modifications des produits existants dans le marché. L’objectif de ce projet est de développer de nouveaux sismomètres numériques avancés et de nouveaux systèmes de surveillance des vibrations à très large bande, en utilisant la nouvelle technologie révolutionnaire de Symroc pour surmonter fondamentalement les limites de détection et relever les principaux défis du secteur.
