SHUTE was originally a spin-out company from the Department of Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark.We have developed a novel polymer optical fiber sensor system, which enables real-time monitoring of strain, humidity and temperature in points along a hair-thin optical fiber.Compared to existing solutions, our sensors are:• Very flexible and easy to embed in hard or soft materials• 30 times more sensitive to strain than silica fiber sensors and• 20 times more sensitive to stress• Stretchable – up to 6% elongation• Humidity sensitive• BiocompatibleWe are testing the technology in real environments with several different industrial partners. We are currently testing the sensors & fibers in the following areas:• Concrete floors & elements• Superior composite materials• Medical devices• Wind turbinesFor more information please visit www.shute.dk .
