Building Monitoring Systems

Building Monitoring Systems (BMS)

Building monitoring encompasses various parameters related to structural deterioration, such as vibration, stress state, strain, inclination, displacements, and deformation. However, to provide a comprehensive 360-degree service that ensures indoor comfort and a healthy environment, it can also include the monitoring of external environmental factors like wind, temperature, and humidity, as well as interior parameters such as air quality and energy consumption. This can be achieved by utilizing smart IoT sensors and integrating them into the field of structural health monitoring.

Smart Solutions for Building Monitoring Systems

Preserving historical monuments and heritage structures requires attentive monitoring of their condition. These architectural treasures hold significant artistic, architectural, and cultural value. To address this need, NEXT Industries has introduced an innovative smart solution for structural health monitoring in heritage sites.

The nature of heritage structures, typically constructed using stone or stone with mortar, requires consistent monitoring for physicochemical damage. Utilizing smart sensors, our solution enables the detection of damage caused by seismic events, deterioration of cement, stone decay, soil settlement, and concrete cracks. This is achieved through data acquisition from sensors strategically placed along the historical structure to effectively identify any potential damage and its location, with the results of data analysis being conducted in the Cloud.

By utilizing our smart solution for structural health monitoring, the assessment of the state of conservation of historical monuments becomes a streamlined process.

Building Monitoring Systems with IoT Technology

Building monitoring systems utilize IoT technology to provide real-time information and expedite decision-making processes. This technology allows for the analysis of large volumes of data collected remotely, without the need for on-site inspections.

With the ability to access, collect, and analyze data in real-time, IoT sensors play a crucial role in monitoring the structural condition of buildings, particularly those exhibiting settlement, degradation, and deflection phenomena. The continuous 24/7 monitoring made possible by IoT technology is highly recommended for such structures. Additionally, the data obtained from remote building monitoring serves as a foundation for effective predictive maintenance approaches.

Building monitoring systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, longevity and efficiency of ancient and modern buildings. With NEXT Industries’ smart solution, professionals in the field can effectively assess and safeguard both modern and ancient buildings for future generations.
