GridMats® IoT: Transforming Surfaces into Smart Data Hubs with Diverse Sensor Options

Get ready to elevate your infrastructure with GridMats® IoT, the innovative add-on product currently undergoing commercial testing. This revolutionary solution seamlessly integrates with GridMats® OC, transforming ordinary surfaces into intelligent data-gathering platforms equipped with a variety of sensor options.

Imagine this: Discreet sensors embedded within the open cells of GridMats® OC silently capture real-time data on a multitude of parameters, including:

• Pressure (Sensor options: Piezoresistive, strain gauge): Track vehicle loads, pedestrian traffic, and potential structural issues.
• Moisture (Sensor options: Capacitive, neutron probe): Monitor pavement health, identify water infiltration, and optimize snow and ice removal.
• Temperature (Sensor options: Thermocouples, RTDs): Monitor thermal variations for various applications.
• Deflections and stress (Sensor options: Strain gauges, extensometers): Conduct research on pavement performance and optimize infrastructure design.
• Vibrations (Sensor options: Accelerometers, geophones): Detect potential structural problems, machinery issues, or seismic activity.
• Additional options: Finer optic sensors, laser-guided systems, and sensors measuring velocity, acceleration, and other parameters.

The possibilities are endless:

• Enhanced security: Utilize pressure, vibration, and motion sensors for improved surveillance in sensitive areas.
• Optimized traffic flow: Analyze traffic patterns and manage congestion effectively with pressure sensors and accelerometers.
• Predictive maintenance: Identify and address pavement issues (moisture, temperature, deflection) before they become critical, saving time and resources.
• Toll management: Seamlessly automate toll collection with pressure and vehicle detection sensors.
• Footfall management: Gain valuable insights into pedestrian behavior with pressure and motion sensors, optimizing public spaces.

GridMats® IoT is more than just data collection; it's about unlocking actionable insights:

• Data-driven decision making: Gain real-time information from diverse sensors to optimize infrastructure management, improve safety, and enhance sustainability.
• Predictive analysis: Identify potential problems before they occur with sensors like moisture probes and accelerometers, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
• Resource optimization: Allocate resources strategically based on real-time sensor data, reducing costs and maximizing impact.

GridMats® IoT is poised to revolutionize how we interact with our surroundings. Be part of the future and join us in building smarter, safer, and more sustainable infrastructure.
