The first step is to identify the structure to be monitored. WeStatiX SHM is able to assess the health of any kind of structure, ranging from bridges and viaducts to tunnels, from buildings to wind turbines, from rockwalls to embankments and slopes, and many more. While it is good to have as much information as possible of the monitored object, it is not always possible to have access to material parameters, maintenance history, etc., especially for older artifacts: not to worry, since WeStatiX SHM can correctly identify most missing information while it learns from the structural behavior. Did you know? It is also a great tool for structures under constructions, enabling managers to adapt the design to the conditions on site.

WeStatiX SHM does not require a specific type of sensor to work. Instead, it can flexibly adapt to the type of measurements that best fit the current use-case, even if they are already existing on the monitored object. Thanks to its capabilities of global structural analysis, WeStatiX SHM can correctly identify behavior even with small amounts of data and limited number of sensors, which directly translates into great cost savings. Thanks to its intuitive user interface, it is easy to connect the telemetry streams with the cloud, and start the monitoring process.

The digital counterpart of the monitored object is represented by an advanced Digital Twin that looks, behaves and responds exactly like the real structure. Our revolutionary Twin Builder module makes it extremely easy to build the Digital Twin. Oftentimes, a 3D model is already available as FEM or BIM, or it can be generated with our Twin Designer module, or with your favorite software suite: WeStatiX SHM is compatible with a large number of third-party formats, which can be imported directly, and then extended with additional information from the comfortable UI.

WeStatiX SHM enables the user to make the Digital Twin live by connecting it with telemetry data and performing continuous FEM simulations in the cloud. The advanced algorithms within WeStatiX SHM allow calibration of the Digital Twin based on inverse analysis, so that unknown parameters can be identified by observing the behavior of the real structure, and behavior of the Twin can be adjusted until it perfectly matches the real world.

The powerful monitoring and post-processing module of WeStatiX SHM makes real-time monitoring finally practicable. Results of the current simulation are easily accessible through the interactive 3D interface, which enables virtual inspections any time, from any device. A comprehensive, easy-to-use dashboard exposes all data and reports for analysis. Finally, the physics-informed Artificial Intelligence system continuously inspects the state of the Digital Twin, predicts its future behavior and warns about the necessity for interventions.
