LOYOLA MONITORING SYSTEMS

Loyola provides consultation, development and integration of local and enterprise wide Structural Health Monitoring solutions to suit any size of organization.

Visual inspections of structures only provide a subjective snapshot and are unable to reveal deterioration that compromises safe use. Loyola's real-time monitoring solutions provide the best, most objective empirical data about these structures to public safety officials and engineers so that they can make the right decisions about their condition, safety, and use at the right time.

Integration

Fusing together other sensors placed on the structure, the data streams can be easily evaluated by engineers and safety experts to determine the safety of the structure and provides objective data as to whether a natural disaster or other hazardous event has compromised the structure's integrity. Historical trending data provides the basis of predictive planning for infrastructure maintenance and repair. This advanced technology enables monitoring of mining and tunneling operations reducing liability and increasing safety.

Data Fusion

Loyola's data fusion software brings together all types of structural sensors and precision Geographic, Terrestrial, and Inclinometer Positioning Systems (GPS, TPS, IPS) in to a common operational picture in tabular and graphical displays. Analysis tools facilitate tailored computational interpretation of the data in all phases of data collection including historical data, real-time data and predictive data analysis. Alarm states tools provide control, boundary limits, health status, trending alerts. The data dissemination tool is used to provide multi-level tailored visualization of all data, displays, broadcast alerts and allows export in various standard numerical and graphical formats. Loyola tailors the graphical user interface to meat various users' need including, Operations, Engineering, Safety and Management organizations. Loyola's Monitoring Systems team provides the ultimate monitoring and analysis software scalable to suit any size of organization.

Results

To deliver this advanced monitoring technology Loyola leveraged its experience in the development of Service Oriented Architectures, Net-centric operations, data fusion and Command and Control systems for DoD programs. These technologies provide automated analysis of critical metrics through unprecedented visualizations of structural performance data that will be accessible by multiple levels of decision makers using secure networks and web browsers.
