OUR CORE CAPABILITIES

 

The Industrial Sensors Impact area has established significant technology and product development capabilities in the field of sensors. It is both ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified and undertakes custom product development projects on sensor products targeted at industrial inspection and monitoring applications. The team’s focus on innovation has seen it successfully develop solutions that are used across a range of industries, locally and internationally. 

Historically, the CSIR focused on two key technologies in this domain, namely electro-optics and ultrasonics. The electro-optics capabilities were directed at industrial systems for the energy transmission and distribution industry and have seen the world leading CoroCAM range of cameras developed and commercialised through a CSIR start-up company, Uvirco.  

The ultrasonic capability has been applied in multiple domains, including establishing the CSIR as the wet-end sonar partner to the South African Navy. It has also been applied to air ultrasonics for level measurement, primary healthcare for human and societal systems and real-time rail-break detection on heavy freight haul lines using guided wave ultrasonics.  

In recent times, the group has applied its product development capabilities to support South African SMMEs that are innovating their products, helping them with technical development and regulatory approval. The group has also engaged in machine learning research on medical datasets as part of the CSIR’s collective drive to implement 4IR technologies. 

Industrial Sensors is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 (medical)
