Detect and monitor cracks and static changes

Cracks in buildings and other structures can cause significant damage if not detected and monitored early. The innovative crack monitoring system from Infrasolute offers a reliable and flexible solution to continuously capture changes in crack widths and take appropriate measures in a timely manner.

Crack monitoring: Easy self-installation and reusability

The system is not only waterproof and particularly robust, but it can also be easily self-installed thanks to a clever mounting solution. Another advantage is the reusability of the system, which can be easily reinstalled and used on other objects. This makes it particularly economical and sustainable in application.

Real-time data transmission through NB-IoT in crack monitoring

Data transmission is carried out via Narrowband (NB-IoT), a mobile communication standard specifically developed for the Internet of Things (IoT). This technology enables highly efficient and cost-optimized transmission of measurement data in real time to the cloud-based Infrasolute software, where changes in crack widths as well as temperature changes are graphically displayed and analyzed. Thanks to this proactive monitoring, engineers, professionals, and builders can respond early to changes to prevent potential damage.

Cloud-based monitoring and alerting for maximum control

Another advantage is the flexibility of data usage: Measurement data can be accessed anytime and from anywhere, providing users with maximum control and transparency. Automatic alerts for threshold exceedances ensure that no changes go unnoticed, and necessary actions can be initiated immediately.

The crack monitoring system has proven to be extremely reliable and effective in numerous applications and is valued by customers for its precision, flexibility, and ease of use.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crack Monitoring

1. How does the installation of the crack sensor work?

The installation of the crack sensor is simple and can be completed in a few steps through self-installation. For more information, please click here.

2. How long does the battery of the sensor last?

The battery of the sensor has a lifespan of up to 5 years, depending on the frequency of data transmissions and environmental conditions.

3. How often is data transmitted?

The sensor transmits measurement data multiple times a day. The exact transmission frequency can be adjusted according to needs. Typically, measurement intervals range from every 10 minutes to once a week.

4. What is Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT)?

Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a mobile communication standard specifically developed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables energy-efficient and reliable data transmission over long distances with minimal power consumption. NB-IoT is particularly suitable for applications that transmit small amounts of data and require a long battery life.

5. What features does the software offer?

The Infrasolute software offers comprehensive features for analyzing measurement data:

Graphical representation of crack width and temperature changes.
Early warning system for threshold exceedances.
Data analysis for monitoring long-term trends.
Remote access to measurement data from anywhere and at any time via laptop or smartphone.

6. Is the sensor waterproof?

Yes, the sensor is waterproof and can be used both indoors and outdoors under various weather conditions.

7. Can additional wired displacement sensors be connected to the gateway?

Yes, additional wired displacement sensors can be connected to the gateway to collect monitoring data from other crack locations or structures.

8. How accurate are the measurements?

The sensor detects changes in crack widths in the micrometer range and provides reliable data for the timely detection of structural issues.

9. Can the sensor be reused?

Yes, thanks to a clever mounting solution, the sensor can be reused after use and easily reinstalled on other objects.

10. Is calibration of the sensor necessary?

No, the crack sensor is delivered factory pre-calibrated, so no additional calibration on-site is necessary. It is ready for immediate use. The zero measurement is set through the software.

11. Can the battery status be monitored?

Yes, the battery status of the sensor can be monitored at any time through the software, allowing you to be proactively informed about the need for a replacement in a timely manner.

Installation of our crack sensors

The installation of the crack sensor is quick and easy to perform by self-installation in less than 10 minutes:

Apply adhesive to the back of the mounting plate and bracket.
Position the sensor so that the displacement sensor is centered above the crack to be monitored.
Wait 5 minutes for the adhesive to fully cure.
Remove the mounting aid.
Conveniently monitor the measurement data remotely via laptop or smartphone.

This allows you to have precise insights into the condition of your structure anytime and anywhere.
