Innovation in the construction industry - When technology takes cracks seriously

Case study



The cracks observed on the building structures are not merely aesthetic defects. They can reveal deeper and sometimes critical structural issues. In a context where the safety of users and the longevity of infrastructures are becoming major priorities, it is essential to adopt more precise, responsive, and continuous structural monitoring solutions.

Connected sensors for continuous monitoring

 
The rise of connected objects in the construction sector has allowed for a rethinking of how cracks are monitored. Innovative solutions such as those developed by Feelbat, with sensors like the DELTA L+ mini, now enable the measurement of crack progression with great precision, while simultaneously tracking environmental parameters such as temperature and light levels.

These sensors continuously transmit data via low-power networks such as Sigfox or Bluetooth, providing remote, autonomous, and regular structural monitoring.


Among the advantages:


  • Enhanced anticipation through the rapid detection of critical developments.
  • Fewer on-site trips, therefore a reduction in operational costs.
  • Monitoring possible even in hard-to-reach areas.

A mobile application for remote monitoring

 
The mobile platform developed by Feelbat allows users to monitor the evolution of structures at any time and from anywhere. Each sensor sends its data to the application, which offers a complete history, an automatic alert system, and integrated analysis tools. This results in a considerable time saving and faster decision-making for construction professionals.


A setup designed for the terrain

 
The sensors are designed to adapt to the realities of the field:


  • No wired power supply required: battery-operated, with several years of autonomy.
  • Quick installation, directly on the structure, with a kit suitable for each surface.
  • Proven resistance to environmental constraints: humidity, dust, temperature or light variations.


These characteristics make the solution particularly relevant for rehabilitation sites, the diagnosis of historic heritage, sensitive buildings, or sites that are difficult to access.
