With over 40 years of expertise rooted in HP (Hewlett-Packard) heritage, AP Sensing is a global leader in optical test and measurement technology. Our advanced distributed sensing solutions are trusted across multiple industries, providing reliable performance in a wide range of applications.
Thinking ahead, and leveraging decades of experience, AP Sensing continues to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions in optical sensing and monitoring technologies.
From Measurement Pioneers to Industry Experts: The AP Sensing Journey
AP Sensing’s story is one of innovation, expertise, and a commitment to delivering reliable fiber optic sensing solutions. With roots tracing back to Hewlett-Packard’s pioneering measurement technologies, the company evolved through Agilent Technologies before establishing itself as an independent entity in 2007.
Since then, AP Sensing has continuously advanced Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), and Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensing (DTSS) technologies, setting new industry benchmarks. From securing critical infrastructure like the Eurotunnel to monitoring subsea power cables such as NordBalt, AP Sensing has consistently pushed the boundaries of asset protection.
With cutting-edge AI algorithms and next-generation sensing solutions, the company remains at the forefront of safety and efficiency across energy, transportation, and environmental monitoring.
