The French gem Silmach watches over the integrity of aircraft. The SME has designed microsensors that can identify the first signs of wear on critical parts.
This innovation required nearly twenty years of research and the filing of 200 patents. A pioneer in silicon micromechanics, the SME combined the historic know-how of Besançon, the cradle of French high-precision watchmaking, with the high-tech world of semiconductors and clean rooms.
