Installing sensors for structural health analysis
Asset monitoring is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of aging infrastructure. Traditionally, this has required dangerous manual access via rope teams or lifts to install and maintain IoT devices. With AITHON, this work can be done with minimal asset downtime and high flexibility.
Mission results
Cost Savings
The mission was performed with 75% less manhours and without any fees for lane closure or traffic impact.
Zero lane closures
During the entire mission, the traffic was not slowed down due to installations.
High-precision placement
On the soffit, sensors can be placed without considering other factors – maximizing data quality while minimizing the impact on nominal operations.

Frequently asked questions for drone-based sensor installations
What sensors can be installed?
Any sensor up to 2.5kg in weight can be installed, this includes structural health monitoring (e.g. accelerations, deflections), environmental (e.g. temperature, humidity) or local (e.g. crack-meter) installations.
In most cases, these sensors can be installed adhesively or magnetically, ensuring the asset is not damaged.
