I’ve been a tech enthusiast for the last twenty years. I like to think that technology can really contribute to the improvement of our lives. All that is […]
When we talk of infrastructure monitoring, the main method this is carried out with is the active monitoring of the piece of infrastructure to control. We’ll see the fundamental elements and the benefits of constant monitoring on a given piece of infrastructure later, what technologies are disrupting the market and what it really means for you to implement a monitoring system in your daily management.
“A control system … would have allowed us to immediately understand the conditions of structures subject to possible catastrophes and, today, would have allowed us to prevent many of the disasters that have occurred in recent times” (P.
