Solution Name

IoT Sensors and Automatic Monitoring System (AMS)

Solution Description

Automatic Monitoring System ( AMS) includes web-based application and different IoT Geo-technical Sensors such as Tilt, Vibration, Water Level & Crack or IoT Surveying Sensors such as GNSS & Robotic Total Station. Measurements from IoT Sensors are sent to the AMS regularly via mobile communication network e.g 4G. Data will be processed and visualized in graphical format. Most of IoT Sensors have built-in battery which can last for weeks or months to support 7*24 automatic operation. Users can access the graphical data easily by mobile phone or PC using browser. If the movement out of 3A( Alert Action Alarm) limit, Email or SMS will be sent to related persons. Users can access the data anytime in anyplace for the latest update. Routine on-site inspection, surveying and maintenance can be reduced. Even in COVID19 situation, the system is still running and users can access it at home.

Use Case

8 GNSS were setup in the Kai Cheung Road Bridge (above Kai Fuk Road) to monitor the settlement of the bridge. 8 Tilt sensors were setup in 4 bridge columns and 4 abutments to monitor the movement. All data are sent to AMS. Engineers and Surveyors of government department, consultants and contractors can access the AMS in office or at home to check the bridge status and changes. Routine site inspection, surveying and maintenance can be highly reduced. Construction can be carried out without stop. If there is any movement or settlement out of the 3A limit, related persons will be notified by email. It also saves time for reporting. Action can be taken on time. In overall, it saves time, labour & simplify the workflow and reporting. It also improves safety and break the limit of normal working time and place.
