Applications
Piezo Smart technology offers versatile solutions that can be applied across a wide range of industries to tackle a nearly limitless variety of challenges. We specialize in developing custom piezo sensors designed to target the specific issues most commonly faced by each industry. Below are some examples of typical applications for our piezo sensors, where we already provide ready-made solutions. Feel free to contact us—our piezo sensors can be tailored to meet your unique needs as well.
Weigh-in Motion (WIM)
Involve the use of piezo technology to measure the weight of moving vehicles in real-time without requiring them to stop. The sensors generate an electrical signal proportional to the vehicle's weight, allowing accurate weight measurement. This technology is widely used for traffic monitoring, toll systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance in transportation systems.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Piezo sensors are used to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves to detect flaws or changes in a structure, such as cracks or corrosion. These sensors monitor wave propagation through materials, with any changes in wave patterns indicating potential damage. Ultrasonic SHM using Piezo sensors is highly effective for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of critical infrastructure like bridges, pipelines, and aircraft.
Personal Health Monitoring
Piezo sensors play a key role in tracking physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, and body movements. Due to their piezoelectric properties, PVDF sensors can detect subtle changes in pressure, strain, or motion and convert them into electrical signals. These sensors are lightweight, flexible, and sensitive, making them ideal for wearable devices.
