SHM data – management, treatment, analysis and interpretation – a solution for permanent monitoring systems

Abstract

ABSTRACT VCE as commercial monitoring service provider has gained considerable experience in the topic from more than 600 projects worldwide. Data management, processing, analysis and interpretation are always a challenge especially in case of permanent monitoring. Monitoring systems with hundreds of sensors produce gigabytes of measurement data every day. Full automatic operation and analysis is required to provide the results in time especially in case of alert systems. The challenges for these systems are: - Elimination of noise - Reliable detection and removal of monitoring errors - Data management (transfer, storage, archiving) - Data pre-analysis - Detection of events - Correlation analysis and cross checking - Statistical analysis - Data analysis and diagnosis - Triggering of action (alerts, automatic traffic management) - Access to data - Data presentation - Support of systems operators and engineers for decision making KEYWORDS Web-User-Interface, automatic data treatment, alert systems, data management, event detection, statistical analysis.
