This is an introduction to a case where 'sonas x01' was adopted for a demonstration experiment aimed at clarifying the damage mechanisms of infrastructure structures, such as bridges, by measuring their vibrations during earthquakes and translating that knowledge into reinforcement and design methods. In constructing this monitoring system, there were no locations available for a fixed power supply, so it was required that all nodes, including the master unit and nodes for internet connection, be battery-operated, and that they have a data upload function to confirm acceleration data during an earthquake without needing to go on-site. Such requirements, which are considered difficult with general sensor network technology, were achieved with this product without the need for additional special implementations or settings. 【Case Study】 ■ Installation Site: Yokohama National University ■ Challenges Before Installation - Earthquake monitoring was necessary to clarify the damage mechanisms of structures. ■ Reason for Selection - The power-saving capability that enables continuous monitoring outdoors without a power supply was a key point. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

To verify the effectiveness of new maintenance and management methods for aging river structures, which are deteriorating like other infrastructure, we conducted a demonstration experiment using 'sonas x02' at a river demonstration field provided by Kawasaki City. The dam undergoes monthly gate operation checks and visual inspections, but due to the significant number of years since its construction, there was a need for new technology to assess its condition and enable remote monitoring. Thus, we utilized this product to sense the vibrations of the dam during gate operations and flood occurrences, comparing them with normal vibrations to verify the dam's condition. The feature of operating for extended periods on dry batteries outdoors also met the requirements for this demonstration experiment. 【Case Study】 ■ Client: Kawasaki City ■ Challenges Before Implementation - There is an urgent need to establish maintenance and management methods utilizing new technologies for aging river structures. ■ Reasons for Selection - Vibration monitoring during gate operations and flood occurrences is possible even outdoors without a power source. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
