ESM Global Limited
ESM Global Ltd (“ESM”) is the original-technology engineering and commercialisation platform established in the United Kingdom by the iFiber Group to serve Europe’s industrial asset monitoring and integrity-management needs, drawing on more than a decade of distributed fibre-optic sensing (DFOS) research to convert telecommunications-grade fibre into a continuous sensing network for temperature, pressure/strain and vibration by leveraging Rayleigh backscatter, stimulated Brillouin effects and fibre Bragg gratings (FBG), and thereby offering standardised DTS/DAS/DSS and FBG/FP-cavity optical-pressure solutions which are delivered through an end-to-end model—spanning front-end scheme design, system integration, field deployment, calibration and acceptance, through to operations, maintenance and data interpretation—explicitly optimised for long-range, passive, real-time and high-reliability acquisition as well as robust assessment of asset condition.
On the algorithms and data side, ESM has established a self-developed AI interpretation stack—covering event recognition, source localisation, contribution inversion, leak/intrusion discrimination, operating-state classification and trend forecasting—which is already in stable operation across oil and gas wells and reservoirs, CCUS schemes, long-distance pipelines, wind-power and urban utility networks, structural health monitoring assets and smart-city deployments; this stack underpins a full chain from online monitoring to offline verification and O&M decision support, while an iteratively updated algorithms-and-scenarios knowledge base enables a traceable loop from features to models, thresholds and alerts, and, leveraging the UK innovation ecosystem together with group synergies, positions ESM to deliver multi-source data fusion and life-cycle asset-integrity management via a scalable system architecture with standardised interfaces and secure, compliant data governance that remains compatible with existing telecoms fibre, industrial protocols and cloud–edge collaborative computing—capabilities that, proven in multiple industry-grade scenarios, help clients reduce downtime and environmental risk, optimise OPEX, and support decarbonisation alongside digital transformation objectives.
