Structural monitoring
ROBO-CONTROL Permanent
Structural monitoring
Characteristics
Long-term data measuring/recording
For confidence in condition and understanding of performance
With data transmission and analysis
Web-based access, alarm function
Principle
mageba ROBO®CONTROL Permanent is a fully automated remote monitoring system for structures. It uses sensibly located sensors to measure temperature, acceleration, vibration, strain, tilt, movements, etc. to determine characteristic parameters such as natural frequency, deformations, forces, loads, slopes, displacements that affect a structure’s condition and performance. The generated data, measured at predefined intervals, is transmitted to a central computer server, where it is processed and made available to authorised users via a secure website or a network.
Applications
A ROBO®CONTROL Permanent structural health monitoring system is perfectly suitable for the mid- and long-term assessment and monitoring of a structure, where data is made available for analysis and graphical presentation – upon request even in real-time.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) helps us to better understand our structures in order to prioritize necessary measures on the structures and allocate the necessary resources.
An automated structural health monitoring system can be installed on new bridges, in buildings or generally civil engineering applications as well as for existing infrastructure and building construction with little impact on the structure itself.
Example of an installed “Permanent” system
Installation of an extensimeter for strain monitoring on the bridge deck
Installation of a corrosion sensor in foundation piles, before concrete casting
Strain gauges for concrete structures, with wireless datalogger
Accelerometer on cable stay, used to evaluate the axial force
Solar panel for power supply
A ROBO-CONTROL box – the heart of the system
Online user interface
