To capture the data, companies such as AOMS Technologies,
Toronto, Canada, have developed sensors that can transmit
wirelessly, in realtime, even while buried in the concrete.
For example, AOMS LumiCon is comprised of sensor hardware,
cloud connectivity, and analytical software working to convert
temperature and relative humidity data into information such
as maturity and strength of the concrete. Data is synchronized
in real-time to the cloud and can be accessed through
a secured connection on any device with internet access.
A key feature is monitoring of temperature differential in large
concrete slabs using distributed and multi-point sensors. AOMS's
hardware is recoverable and can be used for multiple jobs.
The embedded sensor requires a low-power wireless gateway, quick
to deploy and easy to manage. In the case of AOMS, they selected
the MultiTech Conduit
®
, a configurable and scalable gateway for
industrial IoT applications, to help get the job done. What's more,
each Conduit gateway has the ability to manage thousands of
LoRaWAN
®
(low-power, wide-area network)-compliant devices,
including MultiTech xDot
®
/mDot
™
Modules and other smart sensors
and transmit their data over any cellular network.
With that being said, key considerations were ease of use, ability to
collect data without being on the jobsite, recoverability and
reusability of the hardware, and operation where large temperature
swing and rain are factors. In addition, uninterrupted data flow,
especially when large number of sensors are transmitting to a single
gateway, was important.
