What We Do
We bring to market solutions developed through R&D efforts conducted within international consortia, particularly involving Polish and Swiss teams. These are innovations originating from industrial research and experimental development work, combining the latest scientific advances with the practical needs of infrastructure operators.
Our systems provide:
- Continuous monitoring of infrastructure health over distances up to tens of kilometers (up to 100 km per unit, and these measurement segments can be combined into networks monitoring thousands of kilometers if needed),
- Early detection of deformations, vibrations, microcracks, and other structural anomalies,
- High-resolution mapping of temperature and mechanical loads – with spatial resolution down to 1 meter,
- Automation of technical inspections and implementation of predictive maintenance strategies, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Client Benefits
- Increased safety through real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure components and early detection of potential hazards before they lead to failures or accidents,
- Prevention of breakdowns and downtime, which often result in high costs and operational risk,
- Reduced inspection costs by replacing manual site checks with automated, data-driven oversight,
- Optimized planning of repairs and upgrades, leading to extended infrastructure lifespan and better resource management,
- Support for digitalization and automation of infrastructure maintenance, thanks to integration with IT systems and CMMS platforms.
Next-Generation Technology
Unlike traditional point sensors, Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors (DFOS) operate along the entire length of the fiber, allowing continuous coverage of the monitored structure. These systems are:
- Highly sensitive – capable of detecting even the smallest mechanical or thermal changes,
- Independent of field power supply – the fiber itself serves as both sensor and data transmission medium,
- Resistant to electromagnetic interference and harsh environmental conditions (moisture, temperature fluctuations),
- Easily integrated with infrastructure – metal-coated fibers can be permanently attached by welding or soldering to monitored structures.
Our Focus Areas
- Rail and road transport – monitoring of tracks, bridges, pavement, railbed stiffness, and detection of wheel-induced vibrations,
- Energy and transmission industries – monitoring of pipelines, power lines, and distribution infrastructure,
- Construction and civil engineering – supervision of the stability of structures such as industrial halls, high-rise buildings, tunnels, and overpasses,
- Water management and environmental protection – condition assessment of dams, flood embankments, and hydrotechnical structures.
Comprehensive Approach
At K3Unity, we offer not only the technology but also complete implementation support – from system design and installation, through integration with existing infrastructure, to data analysis and visualization. We tailor our solutions to meet client needs, offering scalable platforms ready for deployment across various sectors and at different scales.
We work with infrastructure operators, engineering firms, public authorities, and the industrial sector. Our strength lies in combining advanced technology with practical experience in infrastructure operation and maintenance.
