The continuous monitoring of structures is crucial for their safety and longevity. Unfortunately, traditional, wired measuring systems are always accompanied by enormous and very expensive cabling. This is where wireless structural health monitoring with nemione sensors offers an innovative solution with numerous advantages.
Highly efficient wireless technology
An outstanding feature of nemione wireless sensors is the highly developed nemi Link 2400 radio technology, which enables reliable and interference-free transmission of measurement data. This means that even areas of a building that are difficult to access can be monitored effectively without the need for complex cabling. Up to eight nemione sensors communicate wirelessly and in real time with a central nemione receiver, which makes the received data available via 4G cellular radio and triggers alarms if required (e.g. nemi EdgeBase, nemi Log + cellular).
Long battery life and solar energy harvesting
Another advantage of nemione sensors is their energy efficiency. The wireless sensors are designed so that they can be operated for months/years without the need to change batteries. In addition, many sensors have solar energy harvesting capability, which extends their service life even further and minimizes your maintenance costs. (nemi G+ nano, nemi DAQ nano)
Long radio ranges
The nemi Link 2400 radio technology enables radio ranges of several hundred meters. This means that even extensive buildings or infrastructure projects such as bridges, high-rise buildings and large plants can be monitored effectively.
Versatile monitoring options
The nemione sensors are extremely versatile and can monitor a wide range of parameters that are important for the integrity of a structure. These include, among others:
- Vibrations: Monitoring vibrations to detect structural problems at an early stage. (nemi G+, nemi G+ nano)
- Crack widths: Measuring and analyzing cracks to monitor the progression of damage. (nemi DAQ, nemi DAQ nano)
- Temperatures: Monitoring of temperature changes that can influence material properties. (nemi DAQ, nemi DAQ nano)
- Strains: Detection of strains in load-bearing elements in order to evaluate their load. (nemi DAQ, nemi DAQ nano)
Precise monitoring of a measuring point with a negative trend
Thanks to their energy-efficient design, nemione sensors enable continuous monitoring with low data rates over many months / years. In addition, long-term monitoring can be switched online in order to monitor the desired measuring point with higher sampling rates in the medium term. This allows a measuring point to be monitored more closely if a negative trend is detected and provides precise monitoring to ensure the safety of your building.
Free choice of data pipeline
The measurement data received is collected by a nemione gateway and uploaded to a cloud from which alerts can be sent. The customer has the choice of using a nemione or their own cloud solution (e.g. nemi EdgeBase, nemi Log + cellular).
Conclusion
Wireless structural health monitoring with nemione sensors is a forward-looking solution for monitoring structures without the need for complex and expensive cabling.
