With WeStatiX custom structural digital twins can be created for
real time monitoring of existing structures in the cloud.
The system is based on the combination of several innovative digital
technologies: Development of a reliable 3D digital twin of the object, cloud-based visualization that enables virtual inspections, automatic execution of numerical FE simulations, continuous model calibration using inverse analysis, predictive analysis through artificial intelligence, BIM (Building information Modelling).
Cloud-based
platform for
Structural Monitoring
Machine Learning algorithms are based on “training data” (measurement data) and training machine learning models requires the analysis of a large amount of data (Big Data).

A New World
for Structural
Security
WeStatiX SHM enables to constantly monitor the structure, check anomalies, and optimize maintenance interventions for different kind of structures: bridges, rock walls, slopes, tunnels, dams, buildings, power plants.
Why
AI?
Engineers know that the real structure behaviour is often difficult to predict during the planning phase. This happens for many reasons: human mistakes, tolerances, variants in progress, unexpected geotechnical behaviour, material properties, etc.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, the digital twin learns progressively: it is constantly calibrated to minimize the discrepancy between sensor data and simulation results, assessing the global behaviour of the structure at each point. Furthermore, by training advanced deep learning models, we obtain accurate forecasting of the future structural behaviour.
The digital twin
3D GUI
The user can perform virtual inspections of the object with the digital twin 3D GUI.
The digital twin graphical user interface, where you can visualize directly in the stresses, strains, displacements and utilization factor in any poitn of the structure.
This is possible thanks to the twin finite element model which takes into account the entire load history of the structure, including the sequence of construction steps, considering time dependent effects due to temperature, creep, shrinkage damage and aging.
Analysis of utilization factor
Realistic model representation
Visualization of structural deformation
Interactive cloud-based interface

The data analysis
dashboard
The dashboard allows the user to visualize all the data measured by the sensors and the results of the digital twin model, together with the results of the predictive analysis. This monitor has been designed to maximize the user experience in analyzing the provided data with elegant charts.
Automatic alarms and
report generation
For each measurement made, WeStatiX SHM allows the user to export a detailed technical report containing the measurements data, the results of the structural calculation, and an assessment of the current state of the object. An automatic alarm system is setup in case of exceeding of predefined thresholds, which are agreed with the customer.
