Analatom Inc provides advanced solutions for condition based maintenance (CBM) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of high value assets, including aircraft, bridges, vehicles, heavy equipment, helicopters, pipelines, ships, and wind turbines. SBIR program active - primarily with the mission agencies - from soon after the firm was founded to recent awards. In 1997, Analatom secured some important MEMS technology licenses and began to focus on product development based on these technologies. Analatom is particularly interested in MEMS due to the overlap with their core expertise and the proven and potential markets for the technology. The proposed MEMS sensors address the problem of through life non destructive evaluation (NDE) and monitoring of both adhesively bonded structures and the occurrence and rate of corrosion under coated (painted) surfaces. To market these sensors, Analatom is developing the Structural Health Monitoring System (SHEMS). SHEMS is a suite of different MEMS sensors deployed on flexible substrates at critical areas of a structure. The data from the SHEMS sensors is analyzed at regular intervals to determine the overall integrity of the structure.
