The Alinghi team, which won the yacht race "America's Cup," incorporated light sensing into their boat. Our system monitored it during the race.
The Alinghi team's boat, which won the yacht race, was equipped with light sensing, and our system was monitoring during the race. The Alinghi team successfully implemented light sensing on their own boat. The data obtained through the light sensing system enables valuable design verification and performance development, as well as real-time monitoring during the race. Team Alinghi won the 31st America's Cup held in 2003, marking the first victory for a European team since 1851. In the 32nd America's Cup, they won in a dramatic race by just one second, and in the 33rd, they attempted to defend their title with a large boat but were defeated by BMW Oracle Racing, relinquishing their champion status.

Company information
Are you troubled by issues related to lightning surges? Fiber optic sensors are insulators, so they won't be damaged by surge currents. Are you struggling with electromagnetic noise? Fiber optic sensors are completely unaffected by electromagnetic noise. Are you required to meet explosion-proof and non-flammable standards? Fiber optic sensors do not use electricity, so explosion-proof certification is not necessary (they are exempt). Are you facing difficulties with complex wiring? Fiber optic sensors can be configured with multiple sensors on a single fiber. Our company offers multi-point measurement solutions using fiber optic sensors, specifically FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) and communication technology WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) for optical sensing systems (measuring instruments, sensors, software).
