Case Study
Real-Time Crack Detection in Texas Highway Bridges
In collaboration with a regional Department of Transportation, Damage Detection Tech deployed edge modules across five critical bridges. The solution reduced manual inspection times by 60% and flagged microcracks undetectable by visual inspection.
Case Study
Oil Refinery Pipe Monitoring in Louisiana
Edge sensors installed on high-pressure pipelines enabled real-time stress and temperature monitoring, reducing failure incidents by 40% over 12 months. Integration with GAO RFID gateways ensured remote accessibility.
Case Study
Structural Monitoring in High-Rise Construction in Toronto
Edge analytics modules were installed throughout a 50-story mixed-use development. By combining strain and vibration data, engineers could predict settlement patterns and rework schedules, saving nearly CAD $250,000 in costs.
