Data from sensors is housed in a system of servers with web-based access, enabling users with varied needs to recover the information in formats that best suit them. SIMS employs a variety of analytic methods and data-mining tools for providing fast and accurate information, generating real-time reports.
SIMS monitoring is ideal for applications where problems are infrequent but potentially catastrophic if they happen, such as monitoring the integrity of structures (such as bridges and urban buildings), rail operations, traffic conditions, sensitive infrastructure (tunnels, power plants), industrial equipment and machinery, and environmental monitoring (air and water quality).
To assure full-time operation in critical monitoring situations, SIMS offers redundant systems with internal health monitoring. If a primary system fails, the backup system will automatically take over.
