The Polaris-Smart Fiber Optic Sensor
The Polaris-Smart fiber optic sensor is a complete sensing solution that starts at the measuring point and finishes by delivering digital data and alerts. Our fiber optic sensors are used for vibrations, accelerations, pressure and temperature sensing. As all our products, it uses photons (i.e. light), which makes it intrinsically safe and operational in many harsh environments.

Fiber optic cable: non-conductive, low loss, no repeater needed
Large acceleration and frequency ranges
Product description
The Polaris-Smart fiber optic sensor starts at the measuring point and finishes by delivering digital data and alerts. The Polaris-Smart sensor is composed of:
- 1 unit-Polaris Smart sensor with 5m long optical link
- 1 Edge Controller
- Edge Software: local user interface, edge data processing features, data visualizer & recorder
It includes a connectivity API to link to your acquisition system or data platform.
We provide an optional cloud interface for dashboarding and alerts.
Benefits of our photonic technology
Pure photonics, Intrinsically safe for many harsh environments
Using photons (i.e. light) instead of electrons, photonic sensors are intrinsically safe and operational in harsh environments.
Monitor your assets at their core
Very small and light, the sensor head of the Polaris-Smart fiber optic sensor is the best fit for in situ monitoring of assets and processes.
Fiber optic cable: non-conductive, low loss, no repeater needed
The optical link between the edge computer and the sensor itself is made of conventional optical cable what offers:
- Intrinsically safe for harsh environments
- Availability in different material and length to match multiple applications needs
- Capability to locate the edge controller out of the harsh environment
- Low Loss, no repeater needed
- Accessories available (feedthrough, connectors)
- Affordable light source
- Production using traditional semiconductor fabrication is within reach
Smart and user friendly
Embedded analytics & predictive maintenance features
Our sensing solutions goes beyond capturing data and offers top notch embedded predictive maintenance features.
Thanks to our unique combo of hardware and software, the Polaris-Smart fiber optic sensor makes live detection of abnormal behavior possible for applications that had no solution so far.
We compute in live “on the edge” 64000 points recorded/sec, providing features such as:
- Real time spectrum analysis (FFT/ PSD)
- RMS value
- Average
- Filtering
Configurable digital output
Miraex Edge Controller comes with a web browser based user interface. It allows you to configure the Edge Controller connectivity but also gives you access to a simple visualization of the measured data as well as their recording. It’s also possible to connect our edge to our cloud Miraex cloud making the Polaris Smart sensor a standalone remote monitoring solution.
- Collection of processed data via multiple protocols (TCP/UDP, MQTT)
- Miraex cloud available
- Collect & store measurement data from Edge Controller
- Dashboarding (realtime + history) & alerts
- API access
