From feeling to physics

Force sensors · embedded measurement : From what you feel to physical data.

Phyling designs embedded sensors and builds them into your equipment: force, speed, power and motion, measured in the field and in real time, for sport, media, R&D and industry.

From feeling to data

What your athletes and engineers are trying to tell you: we measure it!

Phyling analysis
L/R asymmetry
10% L < R
Cadence
60 rpm
Peak force
1,360 N

Verdict: yes, the right leg pushes 10% harder than the left. Next step: single-leg strength work on the left.

  • Cycling

    “I push harder with one leg.”

    Left and right power, measured on each crank arm at 200 Hz.

  • Rowing

    “The boat doesn’t glide.”

    Boat speed, stroke rate, roll and pitch, stroke after stroke.

  • Football

    “My legs feel heavy.”

    A mechanical fatigue index: more than 25 indicators computed at every step.

  • Shooting

    “I tense up when I shoot.”

    The finger force on the trigger, measured continuously while aiming.

Four worlds

One measurement chain, four ways to work with us.

  • Sport & performance

    Federations, clubs and strength coaches: measure every session in the field, follow indicators live and turn your athletes’ feelings into facts.

  • Media

    Organisers and broadcasters: speed, cadence, power and heart rate streamed live over 4G and Wi-Fi in parallel, so the signal never drops, to enrich the picture and tell the story of the race.

    Live over 4G + Wi-Fi →
  • R&D data

    Laboratories and R&D teams: synchronised high-frequency acquisition, analogue inputs and raw data, ready for your own tools.

    The measurement chain →
  • Innovation & integration

    Equipment makers and manufacturers: we integrate our sensors into your existing products, from prototype to series production.

The measurement chain

We master the whole chain, from the sensor to the application.

  1. 1

    Sense

    A large catalogue of sensors already developed and unique integration know-how: we adapt any sensor to your equipment, starting with force sensors.

  2. 2

    Process

    Store, transform and transmit your data within your constraints: we have the schematics, the electronic boards and the embedded code for your measurement projects.

  3. 3

    Deliver

    View and share your data, live or as analyses: web application, automatic reports, open API. Our approach fits into your own tools.

Who uses it

From the Olympic track to the laboratory.

Tokyo & Paris
The power sensors of the French track cycling team at the Olympic Games are designed and made by Phyling.
FISA, ICF & UCI
The Maxi-Phyling is approved by the international rowing and canoe federations, and the instrumented crankset by the UCI: our sensors can be used in competition.
Patents
Several patents protect our sensor integrations across different fields, such as the instrumented studs, validated by a PhD thesis and scientific publications.
2018
Phyling was born at École polytechnique, and our offices and workshops are still on its campus in Palaiseau.

Co-development

From the idea to the industrial product, we support you at every step.

  1. 01

    Prototyping

    Your ideas, your product and our technology bricks make a working prototype, to validate feasibility and production constraints at very low cost.

  2. 02

    Customisation

    Sensors, electronics and software are adapted to your product and your users: format, indicators, interface.

  3. 03

    Small series

    A first series, made in our workshops on the École polytechnique campus, to validate the product in the field.

  4. 04

    Production

    We support you up to industrialisation and final integration into your product.
