Thanks to new technologies, it is now possible to prevent the appearance of structural criticalities within infrastructure well in advance. A result that ensures increasing safety, efficiency and sustainability.
Over the years, Sysdev has been able to carve out a leading position in the development of monitoring solutions through theinnovative SHBox system, the first infrastructure “black box” capable of real-time and accurate monitoring of infrastructure health.
New technology trends for structural health monitoring
The use of state-of-the-art sensors is essential to ensure accurate and thorough analysis. One of the highlights transforming the structural monitoring industry has been the evolution of wireless networks. A technology we have also adopted for the SHBox System, whose sensors are able to communicate via a LoRa network the data collected to a central server.
In this way, the data collected by the instrumentation are processed, published and stored in real time on Sysdev’s cloud platform. The integration of these technological tools thus makes it possible to account for the overall performance of the monitored facility in a continuous and reliable manner.
Toward process automation
As we saw in the previous section, instantaneous data processing is one of the key features of current monitoring systems. Moreover, with the implementation of new technologies based onArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, these systems can also have an important predictive value towards the monitored works.
This predictive maintenance approach avoids late and costly interventions, improving infrastructure reliability and reducing the risk of possible collapse or other emergency situations.
The focus on sustainability
Another key aspect through which we can measure the level of innovation of current monitoring technologies concerns the increasingly fundamental issue of sustainability andoptimization of consumption.
Precisely for this reason, the SHBox System developed by Sysdev, adopts energy-efficient sensors and environmentally friendly materials with low environmental impact. Features that make Its use perfectly integrable with the platforms of so-called “smart cities,” since it can enable efficient distribution of resources, reducing maintenance costs and also ensuring the safety and resilience of critical facilities.

The future of infrastructure security passes through increasingly intelligent monitoring solutions. Current trends in this area show that it is indeed possible to ensure greater infrastructure security, provided that urban development also continues to take into consideration the implementation of predictive monitoring technologies.
