A microsensor that does not consume energy to monitor the wear of a structure during its life cycle 24 hours a day, in order to prevent failure and facilitate maintenance.
This is the technology developed by the French deeptech Silmach, a spin-off from the CNRS in Besançon, created in 2003. This innovation required nearly twenty years of research and the filing of 200 patents.
“
We design technical physical products – micromotors for mobile and/or connected systems and microsensors to monitor the health of structures – breaking away from what already exists.
Silmach is the only company in the world to have succeeded in developing such disruptive components
,” explains Pierre-François Louvigné, co-director of this French gem.
A pioneer in silicon micromechanics, the SME has combined the historic know-how of Besançon, the cradle of French high-precision watchmaking, with the high-tech world of semiconductors and clean rooms.
