Structural Health Monitoring One of the best indicators for structural degradation is a change in dynamic characteristics. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) enables direct extraction of these indicators through vibration measurement and signal analysis in both time and frequency domains.
An SHM system continuously collects data from strain, vibration, temperature, and other sensors, allowing long-term trend monitoring rather than single-point evaluation. Analysis algorithms detect deviations from the baseline condition and generate early warnings of potential risks. With a distributed architecture and precise time synchronization, data from multiple locations can be correlated to identify high-risk areas. This is especially important for bridges, dams, and large structures where localized damage can lead to serious consequences.
Using standard protocols such as OPC UA and MQTT, SHM data can be integrated directly with SCADA systems, maintenance management systems, or cloud platforms. In addition, combining SHM with durable and accurate sensors supplied by DEWE VIETNAM further strengthens analytical capability and supports compliance with international standards.
