Sentient Wiring

Sentient Wiring™ Systems (SWS) are computerized harnesses
used for condition based maintenance (CBM) and automated troubleshooting.
SWS are designed as a generic embedded component in the system
wiring harness. SWS can be easily configured into a junction box in wiring system.
SWS electronics and sensors monitor signals and integrity. For SWS ordinary harnesses
are replaced with equivalent harnesses made with conventional connectors
and wires fitted with Sentient wiring integration units. The SWS serves two purposes;
first, to inspect the wiring system for damage, and second, to monitor the signals
flowing through the wiring. SWS provide monitoring wiring for current, voltage,
opens and shorts.Applications
SWS address the problem of monitoring the signatures of operating equipment. The
SWS also provides a means for detecting shorts and opens in aging wiring that
plagues military and commercial airlines. The SWS was originally developed for
high value aircraft systems such as engines; however, the generalized SWS design
can be used in trucks, electrical power plants, facilities, factories, ships and buildings.
Benefits:
Lighter weight than conventional wiring
Form-Fit-Function replacement for legacy harnesses
Implements condition-based monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics
