AEM CVM™

SMS is focused on the development, manufacture, sales and support of Comparative Vacuum Monitoring (CVM™) Smart Sensor Solutions technology and test equipment for meeting crack detection and inspection requirements for certain metal structures of commercial airframes. Working in collaboration with major US airlines, CVM™ is the first FAA approved airframe crack detection compliance sensor solution for use on select B737 aircraft, and in development for further airframe applications.

CVM™ is the leading Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology in a move to a more predictive, remote and automated non-destructive testing future. The technology can provide accurate, reliable, and in-situ monitoring of the structural integrity of airframes, civil infrastructure, bridges, mining equipment and oil and gas pipelines.
