How continuous structural monitoring works

Structural Health Monitoring to follow how the structure evolves over time, seismic monitoring to record its response during the event. Two modes in the base configuration of the same system.

Which of these two questions is yours?

SHM and seismic monitoring compared

Both modes run on the same sensors and answer different questions. Structural Health Monitoring follows the structure in ordinary service; seismic monitoring records its response during an event.

Project-specific configurations

Through ESA expansion units, the BBOX 2.0 Datalogger integrates sensors other than accelerometers. It accepts any sensor with a 4-20 mA output, and others through a dedicated adapter: instrumentation already installed on a structure, common on bridges, joins the same system. A single Datalogger manages the whole set, keeping acquisition, transmission and data access centralised.

Both operating modes are available with no additional components, with remotely configurable parameters. Expansion with different sensor types is activated when the required information goes beyond accelerometry.

Monitoring applied to your type of structure

Requirements change with the structure: a production plant, a bridge and a historic church raise different questions. Each page describes the objectives, the measured quantities and the report contents for that context.

• Industrial and logistics sites

  Manufacturing plants, warehouses and logistics hubs where every day of downtime carries a direct cost. Immediate data to resume operations safely after an event.

• Bridges and viaducts

  Early detection of degradation, support for periodic inspections, and objective data for maintenance decisions on strategic infrastructure.

• Heritage buildings

  Churches, bell towers, and protected architectural assets: inclination monitoring, seismic monitoring, and preventive conservation with reliable technical data.

• Residential buildings

  Residential complexes and managed property: timely post-event safety assessment, safeguarding residents and assets.

• Office and retail buildings

  Corporate headquarters, shopping centres, and offices: continuous monitoring to reduce, and in many cases avoid, downtime and support fitness-for-use assessments.

• Critical infrastructure

  Hospitals, civil protection facilities, and public-use plants: data to reduce, and in many cases avoid, downtime when it matters most.

Which configuration suits your structure?

MOSI supports the definition of the most appropriate technical configuration, based on the structure, the monitoring objectives, and the operational context.
