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?

Structural Health Monitoring

Observing structural behaviour over time, detecting variations in dynamic characteristics, and identifying early signs of degradation. SHM relies on Operational Modal Analysis (OMA): accelerometer signals are processed to extract the structure's dynamic parameters under ambient excitation, without artificial forcing.

Longitudinal comparison against the modal baseline enables detection of significant variations over time. The system simultaneously acquires thermal data to separate reversible environmental effects from structurally significant changes.

Event-Based Monitoring

Records the structural response during an event and provides the objective basis for post-event assessments. The primary reference is seismic loading, but the same approach applies to impacts, extreme wind, floods, and any extraordinary dynamic action.

Project-specific configurations

Through ESA expansion units, the BBOX 2.0 Datalogger integrates sensor types beyond accelerometers. A single Datalogger manages the entire array, keeping data acquisition, transmission, and access fully centralised.

SHM and Event-Based monitoring in the base configuration. Project-specific configurations when the project requires them.

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.

• Monitoring for 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.

• Monitoring for bridges and viaducts

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

• Monitoring for historical heritage

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

• Monitoring for residential construction

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

• Monitoring for offices and commercial buildings

  Corporate headquarters, shopping centres, and offices: continuous monitoring to ensure operational continuity and support fitness-for-use assessments.

• Monitoring for strategic infrastructure

  Hospitals, civil protection facilities, and public-use plants: guaranteed operational continuity even at the most critical moments.

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.
