Structural Health Monitoring
Unlock the Future of Structural Safety and Efficiency with Intelligent Monitoring
Imagine a world where our critical infrastructure—bridges, dams, buildings, and more—can tell us exactly how they are performing in real-time. This is the power of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM transforms static structures into smart, responsive assets by providing a continuous, moment-by-moment diagnosis of their condition. By integrating advanced sensing technologies with a powerful measurement controller, SHM systems capture, log, and analyze real-time data to ensure the health and performance of vital structures, including:
• Bridges and Dams
• Buildings and Stadiums
• Vessels and Offshore Platforms
• Aircraft Frames
• Wind Turbines
Recent breakthroughs in wireless sensor technology have opened up new frontiers in proactive health monitoring and predictive fault detection. BeanAir®’s industry-leading wireless sensor technology delivers unmatched reliability, versatility, and ease of deployment, empowering you to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Application Spotlight:
Advanced Bridge Monitoring
Bridges are constantly exposed to aging, harsh weather, and heavy loads, leading to gradual deterioration. The consequences can range from costly and disruptive maintenance to catastrophic collapse, resulting in significant financial loss and potential casualties.
To prevent this, it is crucial to have continuous insight into a bridge's structural condition. BeanAir® provides a state-of-the-art Wireless IoT Sensor solution that enables engineering firms to monitor assets remotely, eliminating the need for expensive and infrequent site visits. While traditional methods rely on weekly or monthly manual data collection, our system delivers accurate data daily, offering a level of precision that visual inspections simply cannot match. This allows for the early detection of any signs of decline, enabling timely and targeted protective measures.
Our Core Technologies: Vibration Monitoring with the BeanDevice® Wilow® AX-3D
The BeanDevice® Wilow® AX-3D is an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Wi-Fi accelerometer with a built-in data logger, engineered for high-precision vibration monitoring.
Key Features:
• Measuring range (±2g) with a maximum sampling rate of 2 KHz.
• Exceptionally low noise (45 µg/√Hz on the ±2g version), making it ideal for sensitive applications like ground vibration monitoring on construction sites.
• Real-time display of vibration waveform, frequency spectrum (FFT), and velocity via our BeanScape® Wilow® monitoring software.
• The innovative Streaming with Event-Trigger (S.E.T.) mode automatically initiates recording when a predefined vibration threshold is exceeded, ensuring you never miss a critical event.
