Reported at the moment it happens

The last step of the chain is the most important: the ongoing evaluation of your readings and automatic alerting. Every reading is checked against the thresholds, every exceedance reported immediately by email and SMS.

What monitoring delivers

The ongoing monitoring that matters

Continuous monitoring is the reason a critical change is not discovered weeks later at the next site visit, but reported the moment it occurs. We take over exactly this ongoing evaluation and alerting. Standardised sensors and software modules in one platform, configured for the respective structural task.

Continuous evaluation

The data platform accepts every reading, plausibility-checks it and displays it as a time series. This keeps every change traceable.

Warning and alarm thresholds

Every reading is checked against the thresholds defined in the concept. The warning threshold triggers more intensive observation, the alarm threshold triggers an immediate notification.

Automatic alerting

If an alarm threshold is exceeded, the system reports it automatically by email and SMS, so those responsible can respond without delay.

Remote access around the clock

You see the processed trends on the data platform at any time, without being on site yourself. Monitoring runs continuously.

How the alarm chain plays out

In normal operation it stays quiet: all readings within the target range. Trigger a sample alarm and see how a threshold exceedance becomes a notification by email and SMS.

Alarm chain

  1. 01

    Threshold exceeded

    Trigger

    A reading exceeds the stored alarm threshold.

  2. 02

    Email to those responsible

    Email

    The system reports the incident automatically by email with the measuring point and value.

  3. 03

    SMS to the on-call team

    SMS

    An SMS is sent in parallel to the stored recipients, so the notification gets through.

  4. 04

    Escalation to further recipients

    Escalation

    If a response is missing, the notification can be escalated to further recipients.

Threshold logic

Two thresholds, two responses

A single reading does not make a decision. That is why the platform checks every value against two thresholds, which are defined during the concept phase.

Warning threshold

When a reading reaches the warning threshold, more intensive observation begins. There is no acute need for action yet, but the change is now tracked closely.

Alarm threshold

When the alarm threshold is exceeded, the system triggers an immediate notification. Those responsible are informed without delay, before damage becomes critical.

The thresholds are derived from structural analysis, the damage pattern and relevant standards, for example DIN 4150 for vibration. Where they come from is shown in the concept.

Evaluation & reports

What monitoring documents

Ongoing monitoring delivers not only alerts but also solid evidence. Regular reports make the condition of the structure comprehensible and prove that monitoring has worked without gaps.

Important for operators

The documentation demonstrates due diligence towards supervisory authorities and traffic safety obligations, and supports later decisions with solid data.

  • Processed time series for each measuring point
  • Proof of uninterrupted monitoring
  • Basis for assessment to DIN 1076
  • Documentation of warning and alarm events
Evaluation in the portal: structure temperature and displacement change in millimetres as two curves on the same time axis over a year
Measurement series in the portal: structure temperature and displacement change over a year on the same time axis

Monitoring is the ongoing evaluation and alerting itself. The service around sensors, platform and data management is covered by the previous step.

To maintenance and operation

Everything from a single source

The final point of a continuous chain

Monitoring and alerting only work if the chain before them is right: the right monitoring concept, clean installation and reliable operation. With Infrasolute everything comes from a single source, one point of contact for the entire monitoring.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How am I informed of a threshold exceedance?
The data platform checks every reading against the stored warning and alarm thresholds. When a threshold is exceeded, the system automatically triggers a notification by email and SMS, so those responsible can respond without delay.
What is the difference between the warning and alarm threshold?
The warning threshold triggers more intensive observation, without the need for immediate action. The alarm threshold triggers an immediate notification so those responsible can respond before damage becomes critical. Both thresholds are derived during the concept phase from structural analysis, the damage pattern and relevant standards.
How does monitoring differ from maintenance and operation?
Maintenance and operation cover the service around the installation: data platform, sensor maintenance, battery replacement and the monitoring-as-a-service contract model. Monitoring and alerting is the ongoing evaluation itself: checking every reading against the thresholds and the automatic notification when a threshold is exceeded. In practice, the two work together.
Can I view the readings remotely?
Yes. You get access to the processed trends on the data platform and can check the condition of your structure at any time, without being on site. Monitoring runs continuously, whether or not someone is currently looking at the platform.
Is custom software built for every structure?
No, and that is the advantage. Sensors and software modules are standardised and bundled in one platform. For your structure this is configured into the fitting combination: which quantities are recorded, which thresholds apply and who is alerted when. You therefore get an individual monitoring concept, but no one-off solution that nobody can maintain afterwards.
Does monitoring run around the clock?
Yes. The sensors send their readings autonomously to the data platform, which continuously checks every value against the thresholds. An exceedance is reported the moment it occurs, not only at the next site visit.
