Omnisens

What Omnisens does

Omnisens (legally renamed EOSS SA in April 2025) is a Swiss-headquartered provider of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems used to monitor the integrity of critical energy and infrastructure assets in real time. The company's technology is built on Brillouin and Raman scattering principles, interrogating single-mode and multimode optical fibers to measure temperature, strain, and acoustic/vibration signatures continuously along distances exceeding 40 km from a single instrument (with demonstrated reach beyond 300 km). Its product portfolio centers on the DITEST and Raman DTS interrogator families (temperature and strain sensing), DIVA (distributed vibration/acoustic sensing), the newer ODAS platform (next-generation DAS with patented chirped pulse laser technology, open API processing, and embedded machine-learning event classification), Vision (BOTDA/BOTDR test and measurement), Lynx (pipeline integrity), Cobra (power cable monitoring with Dynamic Cable Rating), and complementary modules including the Break Detection Module (BDS) and Omnisens Map visualization. The platform supports six primary customer verticals: oil and gas pipeline operators, power cable utilities and operators, subsea oil and gas operators, reservoir/well monitoring, civil engineering and structural health monitoring, and the optical fiber/telecom test and measurement market.

The company generates revenue through a combination of hardware sales (interrogators, sensing cables, and components) and professional services (application engineering, commissioning, installation, training, surveys, equipment rental, and data interpretation), with pricing structured around custom enterprise project quotations rather than published price lists. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct via a 24-hour-response specialist sales motion, supplemented by a global network of specialist solution providers and local resellers for regional delivery and support; the contact form segments buyers by vertical (O&G well/reservoir, subsea, pipeline, power cable, structural health, optical fiber) and by stakeholder type (owner/operator, EPC contractor, service contractor, consultant, channel). Named flagship customers include TechnipFMC (FENJA 37km ETH-PiP project in the Norwegian Sea, 25-year monitoring contract), VNG Norge, Nexans Cables (Beatrice Offshore Windfarm), Ørsted/DONG Energy (Hornsea Project 1, 180-190km cable circuits), Equinor/Statoil (North Sea DEH pipelines), Aker Solutions (umbilical integrity), and operators of the Peru LNG and Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok pipelines.

Omnisens was founded in 1999 in Morges, Switzerland and operated as an independent specialist until Prysmian Group acquired it in November 2021. Post-acquisition it was merged with Prysmian Electronics to form EOSS (Electronic and Optical Sensing Solutions), combining Omnisens' DTS/DAS technology with Prysmian's PRY-CAM monitoring portfolio into a unified offering. The legal entity was renamed from Omnisens SA to EOSS SA in April 2025 and the headcount sits in the 11-50 range; the company operates globally across Europe, the Americas, Russia, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. By July 2025, EOSS had achieved ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, signaling operational maturation required to compete at the enterprise procurement tier.
