The Phyling embedded measurement chain

The force sensor (crankset, PI3D, studs…) plugs into a Mini-Phyling, which sends the data over Bluetooth to the Maxi-Phyling. The Maxi, with a built-in IMU and GPS, synchronises every sensor and sends the data over Wi-Fi to the Phyling cloud through any network: Starlink, a 4G router or a phone hotspot. You follow everything live in the app, and the API sends the data on to your own tools.

Yes. The Phyling-LTE sends your data over 4G and Wi-Fi in parallel: if one network drops, the other takes over. It is built for media and live broadcasts.

Yes. The Maxi-Lab adds 8 analogue channels and I2C inputs, and synchronises with Qualisys, Vicon and AMTI. The Maxi-Hub does the same and also hosts the Phyling app, so you can work locally, without internet.

Thanks to our reusable bricks, a proof of concept usually takes 4 weeks. The timeline depends on the chosen sensors, the level of embedded processing and the mechanical constraints.

Accuracy depends on the sensor and its calibration. As a guide, force measurements are typically within ±1% of full scale with a suitable calibration. We set the tolerances and the test protocol together.

Yes. We adapt boards and protocols to integrate your equipment (strain gauge bridges, IMUs, temperature, CAN…) while keeping the target accuracy. Your sensor is not compatible yet? We integrate it.

When recording locally, up to several kHz depending on the device and the number of channels. When streaming, Bluetooth suits modest rates (typically 100 to 200 Hz), Wi-Fi higher rates and LoRa low-frequency telemetry.

Locally (SD card or memory), on a Maxi-Hub without internet, or in the Phyling app cloud. In every case you remain the owner of your data, with CSV and PDF exports and an HTTP and MQTT API.

Web app, Python scripts, Nolio and MTraining connections, HTTP, MQTT, CAN and Ethernet. We also build custom connectors.

Track and road cycling (instrumented crankset, PI3D pedal), rowing and kayaking, jumps and strength training (PhyPlate platform), studded-boot sports, equestrian sports (instrumented reins) and any movement with the Nano-Phyling. For industry, we instrument machines, tools and equipment for R&D.

Yes. The Phyling instrumented crankset is certified by the UCI, and the rowing and kayak Maxi-Phyling is approved by FISA and the ICF: they can be used in official races.

The French track cycling team at the Tokyo 2021 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the French Cycling Federation and the French Canoe-Kayak Federation, as well as laboratories and manufacturers.

Yes. For example, we have instrumented hydraulic motors, a strength training machine, construction tools and solar panel installation. Thanks to our reusable bricks, a proof of concept usually takes 4 weeks, then we support the small series up to industrialisation.

In our offices and workshops on the École polytechnique campus in Palaiseau, France, where Phyling was founded in 2018. First series are also made there.

Yes. You export your data as CSV, or fetch it directly through the HTTP and MQTT API. With the Nano-Phyling, a few lines of Python are enough to read the data in real time.

About 9 h for the Maxi-Phyling, 13 h for the Mini-Phyling (without an additional sensor), over 10 h for the Phyling-LTE in continuous real-time streaming, 5 h for the instrumented crankset, 4 h for the Nano-Phyling and 2 h for the PI3D pedal. The Maxi-Hub and Maxi-Lab run on mains power or a USB-C power bank.

Yes. The Maxi-Phyling is IPX7 waterproof and the Mini-Phyling GPS is IPX8: they can be used in the rain, in rowing, kayaking or water sports.
