Problem
Monitoring the structural health of infrastructure like bridges, pipelines, and buildings often relies on infrequent manual inspections or complex, expensive sensor deployments. Detecting early signs of degradation or instability is difficult, leading to potential safety risks and costly repairs. Traditional methods lack the ability to provide continuous, real-time data for proactive maintenance and risk mitigation.
Solution
InSensus provides wireless structural health monitoring solutions using its patented Smart Skin Sensor technology. These sensors are easily installed on a variety of structures, including bridges, pipelines, pylons, and even racing yachts, to continuously monitor strain, temperature, tilt, and vibration. The sensors transmit data wirelessly to a gateway, which then sends the data to a cloud service for analysis and visualization. An accompanying mobile app allows users to access real-time data and alerts, enabling proactive maintenance and early detection of potential issues. The system offers turn-key solutions from data acquisition to data visualization, providing actionable insights for infrastructure management.
Target Audience
The primary customers are civil engineers, infrastructure operators, and asset managers responsible for maintaining the safety and integrity of bridges, buildings, pipelines, communication towers, and other critical infrastructure.
