Hifi Releases HDS™ Advanced Pig Monitoring Service

Next generation HDS platform supporting pipeline industry with continued innovations

CALGARY, Alberta, March 31^st, 2026 – Hifi Engineering Inc. (“Hifi”), a leader in machine learning enabled distributed fiber optic sensing technology for asset monitoring, is pleased to announce the commercial release of their Advanced Pig Monitoring service for the cost-effective monitoring and management of pipeline inline inspection and cleaning tools.

Hifi’s High-fidelity Distributed Sensing (HDS™) platform combines next-generation fiber optic sensing with advanced machine learning capabilities to provide real-time, comprehensive integrity monitoring for pipelines using integrated acoustics, temperature, and vibration / strain. The high-sensitivity and fully distributed nature of HDS enables it to capture, locate and confidently characterize a broad range of integrity and operating events along every meter of the pipeline, ranging from pinhole-level leaks to equipment encroachment, geotechnical activity and a variety of operational support activities.

Hifi’s new Advanced Pig Monitoring service builds on the functionality of our basic Pig Management Application (a standard feature for all HDS systems), adding rapid updates, Point-of-Interest and estimated time of arrival (ETA) notifications, strain analysis, plus historical pig run comparisons, and real-time communications for pig speeds or stoppages.  And with these powerful features delivering information conveniently via HDS Monitor (Hifi’s control room user interface), as well as E-mail, SMS, or other enterprise level messaging applications like Teams and Slack, HDS Advanced Pig Monitoring is a low-cost solution that provides real-world value for your Operations Team.

In appreciation of the dynamic nature of pigging operations, Hifi’s Advanced Pig Monitoring service will be provided on an incremental basis, ensuring that pipeline operators only pay for the service when it’s being used.

“Hifi’s Advanced Pig Monitoring application is yet another innovation which leverages our deep experience in pipeline monitoring to provide operators with a powerful tool to support their operations and maintenance teams” said Ehsan Jalilian, Hifi Vice President and Chief Technology & Information Officer.  “And with the potential to offset significant third-party costs through a convenient web-based application, the service represents one more tangible way to utilize the high-fidelity data being generated by the HDS system in addition to its capabilities for leak detection, ground disturbance and geotechnical-based pipeline monitoring.”
