Bearings

In today's world, monitoring cracks in buildings, bridges, and roads is essential for structural safety and timely maintenance. Small cracks can grow gradually due to load, vibration, temperature changes, or ground movement. Without continuous measurement, early warning signs are often missed until damage becomes costly or unsafe. Our IoT sensors for crack monitoring provide real time insight into crack movement so structural changes can be detected early.

Key Sensor Metrics

Our IoT sensors measure the key parameter needed to track structural crack growth accurately.

Linear Displacement
A linear displacement sensor is installed across a crack with one side fixed on each side of the structure. The sensor measures changes in distance over time, showing whether the crack is widening, closing, or shifting. Continuous monitoring makes it possible to detect gradual movement and sudden changes and to support reliable structural assessment.

Continuous Structural Insight with Real Time Data

By measuring crack movement as linear displacement, infrastructure operators gain a clear view of how a structure behaves over time. This enables proactive maintenance, improved safety, and smarter asset management.

Key Benefits

Early Warning of Structural Risk
Real time crack movement data helps detect deterioration early and supports faster intervention.

Reduced Inspection Costs
Continuous monitoring reduces the need for frequent manual inspections and site visits.

Better Maintenance Planning
Trend data makes it easier to plan repairs based on actual movement rather than visual estimates.

Improved Safety and Reliability
Monitoring supports safer operation of bridges, buildings, and road infrastructure by identifying critical changes early.

Objective and Traceable Data
Recorded measurements provide clear evidence for reporting, engineering analysis, and compliance requirements.

Support for Remote Monitoring
Sensors deliver continuous insight in hard to access locations such as bridges, tunnels, and remote structures.
