Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) uses continuous measurement and analysis to assess the condition and dynamic behaviour of critical structures over time. Accurate vibration data can help engineers identify changes in structural behaviour, detect anomalies and support informed maintenance and inspection decisions.
AMCORIS provides high-performance Epson MEMS vibration sensors for demanding structural monitoring applications, combining precise sensing technology with application-focused engineering and design-in expertise.
Use Case Overview
Bridges, dams and other critical structures are exposed to changing loads, environmental conditions and mechanical stresses throughout their lifetime. Continuous vibration monitoring provides engineers with objective data about how a structure behaves under real-world operating conditions and can help reveal changes that may otherwise remain undetected.
Epson MEMS vibration sensors enable accurate measurement of structural vibration and dynamic behaviour. Integrated into dedicated monitoring systems, they can provide continuous data for long-term structural assessment, anomaly detection and condition monitoring.
Key Structural Health Monitoring Capabilities
High-Precision Vibration Measurement
