Piezoelectric Flexible Sensor for Capturing Changes in Structures for Architecture

Thin, flexible, and highly sensitive! It captures subtle changes in structures, enhancing safety.

To enhance the safety of buildings, it is important to detect subtle changes in structures at an early stage. However, conventional sensors have limitations regarding installation locations and the shapes of structures, making installation difficult in some cases. Fujibo's "Piezoelectric Flexible Sensor" is thin and flexible, allowing it to be installed in wet locations. Additionally, it is highly sensitive and can capture minute changes, thereby further improving the safety of structures. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Monitoring the deterioration of structures such as bridges and tunnels (vibration sensors) - Assessing damage from natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons (impact sensors) 【Benefits of Implementation】 - By detecting abnormalities in structures early, appropriate measures can be taken, enhancing safety. - It can be installed in locations where conventional sensors were difficult to place, enabling broader monitoring. - It is thin and flexible, can be installed in wet locations, and will not rust.
