TEMPERATURE
ChronoMEMS is a family of hybrid MEMS micromechanical sensors that operate without power, designed for monitoring structures and equipment. They detect and/or count mechanical or thermal events 24/7 according to predefined thresholds, all without any electrical power supply and over several decades..
Adopt a threshold-based monitoring approach,
adapted to operational constraints over long periods of time.

MICRO SENSORS WITH DISRUPTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
OPERATIONAL 24/7
Over very long periods of time (decades)
IMMEDIATE EXPLOITATION
Little to no post-processing
UNFAILING DATA
Our sensors are insensitive to the frequency of occurrence of events, and collect only the data essential to the operation of a structure or the monitoring of a critical part.
ZERO MAINTENANCE
No calibration, no drift
RAW DATA AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES
The data is stored mechanically in the sensor, with no risk of losing it.
LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Our sensors are purely mechanical and do not require any power source to operate.
EASY READING & EASY UTILISATION
Several levels of readers are possible: direct optical consultation (without energy), passive RFID (without energy), or connected sensors (energy-free sensors, connected bricks).
COMPATIBLE WITH SEVERE ENVIRONMENTS
Our sensors are designed to withstand extreme conditions: aeronautical, space, military, explosive, radiative environments, etc.
MINIMAL CARBON IMPACT | An energy-free solution that collects, transmits, and stores very little data*, requiring minimal post-processing: this unique operating principle allows for a reduction of up to 97% in greenhouse gas emissions (compared to existing solutions)

WHY CHOOSE CHRONOMEMS?
The energy-free solutions from SilMach have been developed for operational monitoring purposes rather than curative monitoring. Each use case must be linked to an operational need. Typical uses include: drift from nominal behaviour, detection of accidental loading, unexpected service conditions, etc.
PREVENTIVE MONITORING OF EQUIPMENT AND STRUCTURES
Detection and/or counting of a threshold exceedance related to continuous operational monitoring under service conditions.
“EVENT-BASED” ALERTS
The sensor continuously monitors the service conditions in real time. As soon as a critical threshold is exceeded, the sensor acts like a smart switch that can instantly trigger an alert or a dedicated operational procedure.
