QAWRUMS at AEWG-66: Exhibiting and Presenting at Rowan University, New Jersey
Brief：We participated as exhibitors and delivered a research paper at the 66th Acoustic Emission Working Group (AEWG-66) meeting held at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey, May 18–20, 2026, connecting with the global AE research community.
We are pleased to share that QAWRUMS participated as an exhibitor and research presenter at the 66th Acoustic Emission Working Group (AEWG-66) meeting, held at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, from May 18 to 20, 2026. The AEWG is one of the longest-running and most respected working groups in the acoustic emission field, bringing together researchers, engineers, and manufacturers from universities, national laboratories, and industry across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

This was an exceptional opportunity for us to connect directly with the AE research community — professors, PhD students, and industry specialists who are pushing the boundaries of acoustic emission technology across a wide range of applications. The discussions at the conference reinforced several exciting directions we see for the field, including composites monitoring, ofshore wind turbine health monitoring, and multi-channel streaming acquisition for laboratory research and teaching.

Our Research Paper: Full-Waveform AI Analysis for AE Monitoring and Diagnosis
Beyond exhibiting, we were proud to contribute to the scientific programme with a dedicated research presentation. Our paper, “Full-Waveform AI Analysis for Acoustic Emission Monitoring and Diagnosis”, was delivered at the AEWG-66 meeting and received strong interest from the attending community.
The paper covers our work on applying AI to the full AE waveform — moving beyond traditional feature-based approaches to directly leverage the richness of the raw signal. Key topics included:The paper covers our work on applying AI to the full AE waveform — moving beyond traditional feature-based approaches to directly leverage the richness of the raw signal. Key topics included:
AI Waveform Analysis — transformer-based pattern recognition applied directly to AE waveforms
Weak Pulse Detection in Bearing Noise — detecting low-amplitude AE events embedded in background noise
Friction Source Detection — distinguishing friction-induced AE from other signal classes

Products on Display
At our exhibition booth, we showcased our current product range, with particular focus on our T1-6 multi-channel AE acquisition system, acoustic emission sensors, and supporting accessories. The T1-6 drew considerable interest for its streaming and envelope monitoring modes and its very low Enforced End Time (EET), which enables precise isolation of individual AE waveforms — a distinct advantage for complex materials such as composites where overlapping signals from matrix cracks, fibre-matrix debonding, and fibre breakage are a known challenge.
Researchers working in multi-channel laboratory setups were also drawn to our competitively priced, cascadable acquisition units — an area where we see strong and growing demand from university labs and research institutes.
An International Gathering
The conference drew participants from across the globe — the United States, Japan, Germany, Greece, Saudi Arabia, and many more. We came away with a deeper appreciation of the global momentum behind acoustic emission technology, and several productive conversations that we look forward to following up on.

We would like to thank the AEWG organising committee and Rowan University for hosting such a well-run and intellectually stimulating event. We look forward to continuing these conversations and to future AEWG meetings.
