Big Data, Sensors and Real-Time Monitoring Real-time monitoring has allowed for structures, assets and even processes to be assessed to improve operational efficiency, designs, and more. Structural health monitoring, when done in real time, can prevent failures by ensuring action can be taken in a timely manner to ensure maintenance is conducted as and when required.

TWI’s engineers have experience in the real-time monitoring of joining processes, static structures and rotary equipment like aircraft engines. This can deliver improvements in cost, efficiency, environmental impact, and more. However, there is a challenge associated with managing large datasets and making sure that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from them. To achieve an optimal output, these datasets are best managed by a dynamic knowledge management platform that can integrate with smart monitoring and AI to sift through the volume of complex data that can be generated.
