Piezoelectric Energy Accumulator (PEA) Technology
Zero-maintenance, low-cost, self-powered sensors embedded inside “smart structures” that can self-prognosticate damage and mechanical failure. Operational life of sensors comparable to the useful life of the structure
Low Cost & Zero Maintenance
StructuRUL's smart sensors are designed to be Low Cost with Zero Maintenance, a key advantage compared to wired solutions for strain gage and vibration sensors
Self-Powered
StructuRUL's smart sensors incorporate novel Piezoelectric Energy Accumulator (PEA) technology enabling a self-powered approach harvesting energy from the structure itself. This automatically reduces O&M costs related to sensor powering and improves overall system reliability
Embedded AI with On-Board data storage
Each Smart Sensor employs AI-based Floating Gate technology that automatically classifies incoming field signals according to changes in structural behavior. The categorized damage progression metrics are stored in permanent memory on-board each sensor. Predictive RUL metrics are readily available after a machine learning period. Collecting and post-processing terabytes of field data are now a thing of the past
Sentinel SHM - Proven Technology
The StructuRUL technology has been repeatedly proven in the field on critical infrastructure projects, such as bridges and roads - Infratico's focus. Commercial applications using this novel technology include a massive suspension bridge, monitored since 2017.
StructuRUL was originally formed to address the challenges of monitoring structural integrity of offshore wind components. Contact us today to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you.
