Our Mission
From and For Engineers
Engineers, today, have to fulfill different and often intersecting requirements. Regarding design they have to comply with strict and complex regulations while they have to use complicated and demanding software and often solely carry the responsibility for anything that may go bad.
They also seek simplicity and clarity in complicated frameworks. Nowadays, they have to develop their so called engineering judgement solely through the repetitive use of analysis software. We think that in this new era of digital transformation, engineers have much more training equipment, this being the IoT ecosystem that can be put in their disposal. Models can be tested and updated, global and local features can be measured continuously. The end result being smarter, safer and more sustainable built environment.
Structural engineers are not recognized as much as they ought to be. They should be praised for what they do, That is saving lives, protecting property, preserving the past and building the future. They are often the “unseen” heroes behind the architects and the constructors.
"We believe that structural engineers can use new and exciting technology and can come again at the center of attention."
Case Study
When structural problems occurred in a famous heritage tower, some stones start falling from many meters above.
A group of engineers gathered together to see how they will proceed with the assessment and design of interventions for the tower.
This tower was more than 200 hundred years old with many interventions happening every 30 - 50 years, and no one was exactly sure what was the real extent of the problem
The structural engineer that called us had set up detailed finite element models with tremendous precision in the geometry as it was obtained with laser scanner technology for the whole building. He also did numerous stress and other tests but still wasn’t sure as the interventions were hidden and in numerous parts of the structure.
With OMAway solution he used 16 channels and recorded the full dynamic behaviour of the tower with Operational Modal Analysis. He managed to verify his models after appropriate corrections. He went a step further and installed permanently an OMAway accelerograph on the tower and recorded a quite strong earthquake and showed that his predictions were correct. He got great attention from the local community and made the people feel safe again while restoring the old heritage tower in the most appropriate way.
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
01
In the peak of digital transformation that we experience, we believe that structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure and earthquake monitoring should become more accessible and practical.
02
We believe that 99% of earthquake catastrophes and casualties can be prevented. We are here to help improve the numbers with the aid of technology.
OUR BELIEF
01
Seamlessly easy to use, cost-effective sensors and software for structural health monitoring are possible and available.
02
Application of our technology can solve fast and reliable problems, previously complicated to be solved.
03
For smarter, safer and more sustainable cities, IoT ecosystem has still much more to give
OUR VALUES
01
Our products are not specialized equipment for the privileged few but tools accessible to many.
02
We preserve high standards in our products, striving for technical excellence but also for simplicity and interoperability.
03
Unlike other companies we are open to discussion regarding interpretation of SHM results in an engineering framework
