About Iridis Solutions
Iridis Solutions is a technology service provider based in Zurich, specializing in fiber optic sensing and photonics solutions. The offering includes measurement systems, specialty fibers and point sensors for strain, temperature, vibration, pressure and intrusion as well as distributed measurement techniques such as DSTS (Brillouin), DTS (Raman), DAS (Rayleigh) and OTDR. In addition to products, the company offers consulting with technical studies and market analyses, project management, turnkey solutions, measurement services, software for data management and visualization (including GIS), training, quality assurance as well as licensing and technology transfer. Applications lie in structural and geotechnical monitoring, in energy generation and distribution, in transportation, in water management, in industry and telecommunications as well as in the security sector. The solutions are suitable for harsh environments (high temperatures, pressure, radiation) and can be integrated into existing monitoring systems such as SCADA or Industry 4.0 environments.
