Sensors and measurement systems for offshore applications

The offshore industry is known for its wind farms and oil & gas rigs that are providing our society in the increasing global energy demand. Due to the hazardous environment on rigs there are strict regulations in terms of safety during operation. Electrical components such as sensors can be a source of ignition so Ex certification is required for all electrical components. Besides safety this sector depends on high-quality products in order to reduce operating and maintenance costs and minimize downtime.

The last decennia offshore wind power is growing due to sustainability targets, technological developments of the wind turbines and new installation methods. Sensors play an essential role in the installation and operation of wind turbines as they monitor condition and maximize performance. Digitalization will enhance the communication between wind turbines and onshore control centres in order to reduce downtime.

Products for offshore applications

We offers a broad range of high-quality sensors and measurement systems for various offshore applications, such as position sensors, inclinometers, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, fiber optic strain gauges and accelerometers. These industrial sensors are superior in terms of robustness, reliability and accuracy to perform in even the harshest environments such as Ex zones. With over 40 years of experience in sensor technology and in-house engineering capabilities, Althen has the flexibility to offer customized solutions and co-create with its customers.
