FJINNO is developing new rare earth doped materials targeting temperature extension to 400°C, meeting monitoring requirements for gas turbines, high-temperature reactors, and other equipment.

Material Type	Operating Temperature Range	Response Time	Estimated Commercial Timeline
Current YAG:Eu	-40°C to 250°C	<1 second	Commercially available
High-temp YAG:Dy	-40°C to 400°C	<2 seconds	2025
Ultra-high-temp Ceramic	-40°C to 600°C	<3 seconds	2027
Quantum Dot Materials	-200°C to 800°C	<0.5 seconds	2030

Miniaturization Trends for Embedded Equipment Monitoring

As power equipment becomes increasingly intelligent, smaller sensors are needed for integration into equipment interiors. FJINNO is developing miniature fluorescence sensors under 1mm diameter, capable of embedding in space-constrained locations like circuit breaker contacts and cable joints.

Artificial Intelligence Integration for Autonomous Fault Detection

Combining artificial intelligence technology, FJINNO systems will possess autonomous learning and fault prediction capabilities. By analyzing vast amounts of historical data, systems can automatically identify equipment degradation patterns, predict fault occurrence times, achieving true predictive maintenance.

Internet of Things Connectivity for Remote Asset Management

Based on 5G networks and edge computing technology, FJINNO is developing IoT-enabled sensor systems. Remote monitoring and management capabilities enable power companies to achieve centralized monitoring of distributed assets, improving operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
