The longevity of sensors is critical when monitoring in areas with problematic access, and especially those in harsh environments where battery replacement is not possible.

​

We have devised and successfully demonstrated a prototype sensor system for UK nuclear operator, Sellafield Ltd, to monitor containment canisters used for long-term storage of special nuclear material (SNM).

​

The radiation tolerant system lasts 30 years on a single coin cell battery, recording the temperature and pressure of canisters and wirelessly relaying any changes to operators.

​

"What would you expect to see in a factory of the future? You'd expect state of the art technology that gives you information as and when you need it, and prompts you for that information. That is exactly what Sensor Driven's technology gives us. It's absolutely brilliant. I absolutely love it"
