MicroWire sensors enable accurate measurement of relative elongation in rebars embedded within reinforced steel structures. Thanks to their micro-dimensions, the sensors do not cause material defects or contribute to concrete cracking. These capabilities make MicroWire suitable for monitoring critical forces affecting structures during and after construction.
MicroWire sensors reliably detect signals even in environments with high electromagnetic noise caused by ferromagnetic materials like steel. They are designed to operate in all weather conditions and throughout the construction process, including during welding and shielding. This allows monitoring of areas that were previously inaccessible due to technical or chemical challenges. The sensors can be applied to the surface of materials such as metal, concrete, composites, plastic, wood, and plywood, or embedded directly into these materials, offering flexible integration options for diverse applications.
