Campuses

University campuses, research centers, and industrial complexes often include a mix of buildings, laboratories, utilities, and public spaces that must remain safe and resilient.

Overview

With high occupancy rates and complex infrastructure, continuous monitoring provides essential data for ensuring safety, structural integrity, and long-term performance.

At Digitex Systems, our xDAS Distributed SHM platform delivers comprehensive monitoring across large campus environments. Using triaxial accelerometers (xWave), we measure vibrations and dynamic responses. Usually, these are responses to environmental loads, human activity, or seismic events. Additionally, xSense supports displacement and crack monitoring, while the xStrain captures stress and strain in critical structural elements. On top of that, the xMet weather stations record environmental parameters such as wind, rainfall, and temperature. Together, these systems provide a complete picture of campus infrastructure health.

The xAlarm device adds a crucial safety layer, issuing instant SMS and digital output alerts. It enables campus managers to respond rapidly to risks.

Because campuses cover large areas, communication infrastructure is a critical element of monitoring success. Digitex partners with reliable providers to deploy state-of-the-art wireless communication networks that cover even the largest sites. This ensures seamless data transmission, unified access to monitoring results, and simplified management of distributed sensors—no matter the size or complexity of the monitored area.

Challenges

Monitoring campuses introduces specific challenges due to the diversity of structures and the scale of the area being observed.

  • Dynamic Response Monitoring
    With the xWave digital MEMS accelerometers, you can continuously track vibrations from seismic activity, wind, or local disturbances across multiple buildings and facilities.
  • Crack and Displacement Monitoring
    xSense displacement transducers detect and measure crack propagation in walls, facades, and structural elements, ensuring early intervention in case of damage.
  • Strain and Stress Measurement
    Using xStrain, you can monitor long-term stress distribution within critical load-bearing elements, revealing material fatigue or overloading.
  • Environmental Influences
    xMet weather stations provide continuous data on rainfall, temperature, and wind—environmental conditions that directly impact both building performance and structural responses.
  • Real-Time Alerts
    The xAlarm device, paired with trigger mechanisms and ring buffer functionality, ensures the capture of critical events and alerting without delay, helping safeguard both occupants and assets.
  • Reliable Communication Across Large Areas
    A campus SHM system must operate across wide zones with multiple monitoring points. This makes a robust local communication network indispensable. Digitex ensures reliability by working with trusted partners to deploy wireless infrastructure that covers the entire area, guaranteeing smooth, uninterrupted data transfer and simple operation.
