The Department of Applied Mathematics in Industry, operating within the School of Sciences at the Holon Academic Institute of Technology, signed about a month ago an academic/industrial cooperation agreement with the Hadas company, which develops acoustic/seismic systems for security applications and detection and security systems for facilities/localities
The Department of Applied Mathematics for Industry, which was opened about a year ago at the Technological Academic Institute in Holon, with the approval of the Council for Higher Education, regretted to promote the integration of academic studies for a bachelor's degree (BSC) which includes the training and nurturing of students as young researchers within the framework of industrial development projects.
The cooperative agreement of the Technological Academic Institute in Holon aims to cultivate students as young researchers in the development of signal processing algorithms while integrating them into projects led by experienced research scientists in the industry and scientific support from the academic research faculty at the institute.
The Hadas company is engaged in the development of detection and warning systems using acoustic and seismic methods, where the focus of knowledge is based on signal processing technology, which is the development of algorithms, as a means of locating, classifying and identifying acoustic and/or seismic signals in real time.
The development of algorithms for signal processing implements advanced mathematical models that allow isolating acoustic/seismic signals identified with unusual activity at the scene of the incident. The Hadas company is currently engaged in the development of sensors to receive acoustic and/or seismic data and the development of computerized systems that incorporate signal processing algorithms to identify unusual events as warning systems.
Systems developed by the company include seismic systems for the protection of oil pipelines designed to locate and detect damage to these pipelines, some of which are below the surface of the ground and some of which are on the surface of the ground. The system is able to detect and send an alert to the hotline in real time. This technology is already used today as a unique means for virtual fence applications to protect strategic facilities and/or settlements in combination with additional sensing means as a defense and security system for all weather conditions.
