Groundbreaking Development of a Prototype Tool for Advanced Monitoring
Employing a Wireless Approach: Future-Proofing Material Characteristics Through a Holistic Method to Enhance Non-Destructive Testing and Structural Health Monitoring


Leveraging a multidisciplinary and multicultural team of scientists, technicians, and engineers from the US, France, UK, and Ecuador, a groundbreaking prototype tool has emerged from four years of dedicated research. This tool is designed to revolutionize Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) with advanced solutions. Utilizing wireless sensors, it enables non-destructive, on-the-go monitoring by harnessing the powerful electromagnetic spectrum. This allows for the detailed analysis of material properties without causing any harm.
Ideal for industries reliant on composite materials, such as automotive, construction, and especially aerospace, this tool addresses the unique needs of airplanes and the rapidly advancing eVTOL sector. It exemplifies how science and technology can collaborate to create innovative products that significantly enhance public safety. This development aligns with the vision of ubiquitous computing, sensing, and the future of smart cities and structures, marking a pivotal contribution to Society 5.0.
