When critical changes remain invisible
Risks
Wherever machines, vehicles, buildings or systems are in use, forces, influences and risks are at work every day – often unnoticed.
Scratches, impacts, vandalism, unauthorised contact, temperature changes or microscopic cracks in materials remain invisible for a long time. The same applies to stress deformations or incipient corrosion on load-bearing structures. It is precisely these early signals that determine whether a problem remains small – or becomes large.
The mobility transition depends on the available infrastructure
However, charging stations are exposed to risks on a daily basis: damage caused by manoeuvring, vandalism or theft of charging cables lead to breakdowns – often unnoticed for weeks. Reports are delayed, spare parts have long delivery times, and charging points remain out of service. The result: lost revenue, dissatisfied users and a loss of confidence in the charging infrastructure.
When changes are noticed too late
Changes are usually only recognized after damage has already occurred.
At that point, the crucial context is missing.
What is no longer clear
- Was it a one-off event or an ongoing process?
- When did the stress or damage begin?
- Which areas are actually affected – and which are not?
The consequences
- Unexpected failures and unplanned downtime
- High costs caused by repairs, theft, or vandalism
- Safety risks for people, machines, and infrastructure
- Maintenance based on fixed schedules instead of real condition
- Data that is barely usable for optimization or further development
In short
There is no continuous view of what is really happening.
Companies react instead of preventing.
They check selectively – instead of knowing permanently.
Areas of Application
Construction & Industry
Protection of machinery, equipment, scaffolding and building structures – detection of tampering, material fatigue and structural changes.
Mobility & Energy
Continuous monitoring of charging stations and hard-to-access components – detection of tampering, damage and theft.
Fleet & Transport
Transparency regarding damage to vans, rental and car-sharing vehicles – complete documentation instead of discussions.
Security & Fencing Systems
Early detection of approaches, touching or sabotage – before theft or vandalism occurs.
Energy & Infrastructure
Continuous monitoring of wind turbines and hard-to-reach components – maintenance based on actual condition, not on a calendar.
