Fiber-Optics - The World’s Most Installed Critical Power Thermal Monitoring

Choose the Gold Standard IEEE 2969, OCP Compliant Solution

When Failure Isn’t an Option, Neither Is Compromise.

Accelovant’s unified MV-LV platform brings fiber‑optic continuous health and thermal monitoring, intelligent gateways, and fully integrated communications with DNP3— built for the highest-stakes power environments on earth. Our industry-leading predictive analytics give every team the visibility they need: designers specify with confidence, OEMs deliver differentiated products, operators protect their SLAs, and service organizations stay ahead of failure before it happens. One unified system. Zero compromises. Everyone wins.

Hidden Heat, High Stakes: Why Monitoring Matters

In August 2016, a single power failure grounded over 2,000 flights and took check‑in, websites, and crew systems offline, stranding thousands. The resulting damage to revenue, safety, and reputation were years in rebuilding

In data centers, power failures now drive more than half of major outages — with a single event costing in lost revenue, lower asset utilization, long equipment lead time, cascading insurance cost, and devastating impact to reputation.

In refineries, one electrical trip cascades into shutdowns, fires, and potential regulatory fallout that can last for years. The failure mode is the same every time: a connection degrading silently until flash over.

In the highest‑stakes power environments— hidden heat has no place to hide with Accelovant.

Why OEMs Choose Fiber Optics over IR and Wires

Inherently safe

Using only the energy of light—they are non-conductive, no current, no voltage, no metals—and mount directly on live junctions

Drops in like a wired thermocouple

No optical alignment, calibration, targets, or conduit because there are no electrons.

Catches Failures Others Miss

Fiber optic sensors are attached direct to the point of interest, under the insulating boot – all EMI immune

Over 1 Million installations

Operational for more than 25 years in the harshest environments.

Trusted by leaders in critical power

“Fiber-optic continuous health monitoring is the only technology with no compromises — no batteries, no wireless vulnerabilities, no conduit runs, no wiring to arc, no thermal reflectors, no dielectric modelling, no calibration, no inspection risk. Just smart, continuous, maintenance-free thermal intelligence. Any safety engineer who truly understands the alternatives would arrive at the same conclusion: Fiber-optics is the only safe solution.”
