The first black box of infrastructure

One of the solutions developed is SHBox®, the first black box for infrastructure. SHBox® is equipped with multi-sensor nodes, both wired and wireless, and uses a network infrastructure based on the LoRaWAN protocol, making it ideal for structural monitoring of buildings and infrastructure, such as bridges, viaducts, tunnels and other works.

This system makes it possible to remotely assess the health of a structure and offers the possibility of tracing the history of the monitored structure over time. The solution comprises multi-sensor nodes that communicate via LoRaWAN, a network infrastructure for collecting and sending data to a central server, and a software platform for processing, storing and visualising the collected data.

The multi-sensor nodes are the atomic elements of the system: a single node is able to detect different parameters (deformation, displacement, temperature, tilt, seismic events) and transfer this information to the software platform for analysis.

Gateway

The network infrastructure represents the communication channel between the multi-sensor nodes and the software platform and consists of next-generation gateways based on the LoRa standard. The gateways are powered by the electricity grid or in their absence by a solar source.

Platform

SHViewereffective software platform. It is the place where the virtual model (digital twin) of the physical reality measured by the multi-sensor nodes is generated.
Within the platform, the use-value is formed for the end-user, who can access the data and related processing directly from the browser.
Data from individual multi-sensor nodes can be evaluated individually or dynamically re-aggregated using physical and statistical interpretative models.
