Temperature
Temperature is one of the most underestimated stress factors for materials.
Extreme heat, significant temperature fluctuations, or local overheating lead to:
- Material fatigue
- Stress cracks
- Structural deformation
- Long-term stability loss
The AIVAM Smart Varnish detects thermal changes directly on the surface.
The goal: make thermal stresses visible – before structural failure occurs.
Thermosensitive Sensor Structures in the Varnish
Temperature changes produce measurable reactions in the material.
Continuous Monitoring
Permanent analysis of heat and temperature fluctuations.
Threshold-Based Alerting
Individually definable thresholds.
Documentation in the AIVAM Portal
History, trends, evaluations, export functions.
This turns passive coating into a structural early warning system.
Example: Structures in High-Rises & Complex Architecture
Modern buildings are exposed to extreme conditions:
- Sun exposure on steel structures
- Temperature changes between day and night
- Heat generation from machinery or technical installations
- Fire events or local overheating
Steel reacts to temperature with:
- Expansion
- Stress buildup
- Material changes
Uncontrolled thermal stress can affect statics in the long term.
With AIVAM:
- critical temperature ranges are immediately detected
- digital temperature profiles of individual components are created
- maintenance and inspection cycles can be planned data-based
- potential risks can be identified early
AIVAM complements traditional sensor technology – directly on the surface.
Particularly relevant for:
- High-rises
- Bridges
- Industrial plants
- Power plants
- Chemical plants
- Data centers
- Steel structures in special architecture
Everywhere temperature is structurally relevant.
Why this is crucial
- Traditional temperature monitoring:
- spot-based
- hardware-intensive
- expensive in installation and maintenance
AIVAM enables: area-wide monitoring minimally invasive integration digital evaluation scalable security architecture
Temperature becomes measurable. Risk becomes calculable.
