How CMOTS Works
- Wireless temperature sensor (transmitter) installed at desired location in fresh concrete
- A relay device (receiver) placed within 300m of the installed sensor wirelessly collects temperature data from the sensor and uploads on our web cloud platform
- Our web platform transforms this temperature data into compressive strength using strength-maturity relationship developed for the concrete mix utilized
- Temperature or compressive strength data can be accessed by clients on desktops and mobile devices
Why Monitor Concrete
- Temperature data is needed to check compliance with temperature differential requirements of mass concrete elements
- Concrete temperature data is also required to check compliance with curing requirements
- In-situ compressive strength of concrete is required for the following reasons:
- To strip forms, shoring and re-shoring
- To open concrete pavement to traffic
- To terminate curing as soon as concrete achieves required strength
Why Use CMOTS
- Whole system is wireless so no danger of data loss due to cable damage during construction activities
- Temperature and compressive strength data can be accessed from anywhere without anyone visiting the site
- Vert cost effective compared to existing semi-wireless monitoring systems
Where to Use CMOTS
- Walls - to expedite form-stripping
- Suspended slabs - Remove shoring and re-shoring as soon as required concrete strength is achieved
- Pavements - to open pavement to traffic immediately after concrete achieves required strength
- Mass concrete - to monitor temperature differentials between core, surface, and ambient
- Slab-on-grade, footing, beams etc. - to check compliance with curing requirements
