Overview

xDAS Ambient® is Digitex Systems’ portable Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solution, engineered for structural researchers, civil engineers, and contractors who need rapid and reliable structural health assessment. The xDas Ambient system is efficient in any conditions without permanent installations. It is a fully battery‑operated, self‑contained SHM system ideal for Ambient Vibration Measurements (AVM) on-site.

Unlike the conventional systems, xDAS Ambient provides complete autonomy, rapid deployment, and robust networking options. Whether you use it on a bridge, building, dam, mine or industrial facility, xDAS Ambient allows you to deploy sensors, collect synchronized data, and quickly analyze structural behaviour using Observer® OMA software.

Description

The xPlorer‑Ambient is the main power hub of the system. It’s our central data acquisition unit running the Voyager® software. The xWave‑Ambient portable digital accelerometers units with integrated batteries and wireless accelerometer options are running the measurements, while the xNet‑Ambient acts as a portable DigiMESH® network extender. All in all, they form a reliable portable structural health monitoring ecosystem – compact and mobile for any site and configured within minutes.

Measurements are fully digital, avoiding noise issues common with analog cabling. The units can communicate via Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, or DigiMESH®, enabling flexible setup in complex and restrictive environments. The system is designed for autonomy, with rechargeable batteries powering all devices. For transport, Digitex provides rugged CarryBox solutions for safe storage and handling of sensors and accessories.

Structural Health Monitoring Applications

xDAS Ambient is designed for temporary or campaign‑based SHM applications where portability and speed of deployment are critical. Applications include:

  • Quick health estimation after earthquakes or extreme events
  • Periodic inspections for dam safety, bridge safety, or structural assessment of buildings and tunnels
  • Monitoring during piling, blasting, demolition, and construction activities
  • University research projects and experimental modal analysis
  • Validation of retrofitting and rehabilitation works
