Intelligent Real Time Roof Monitoring

With our sensor system you’ll know exactly where, when and why a leakage occurs in the flat roof structure. 

Our unique solution combines sensordata with local weather insights, allowing our intelligent platform to constantly analyse for anomalies and unhealthy moisture conditions in flat roofs.

Value

Benefits business and the environment

Incidents happen - but the cost, scope and timespan for mitigations are reduced rapidly when damages are detected immediately and repairs are done precisely and accordingly. 

It’s time to avoid unnecessary CO2 emissions for the drying and/or replacement of building materials. When damages are detected in time, massive amounts of CO2 are saved. 

Knowledge is power. Our solution provides you with everything needed to understand and handle incidents accurately and in time, leaving you with healthier and longer lasting structures.  

Don’t allow water damages to set you back. Having a digital layer of moisture control means; Less delays in construction period, fewer annoyances for people, a reduced risk of impact on business operations inside the building. 

How?

A thoroughly tested solution that just works! 

Sensor

Distribute the specialised sensors in a grid containing all critical areas.

Feel free to contact us and we’ll connect you to expert advice on the placement of sensors. 

The sensors measure moisture, relative humidity and temperature and the data is sent realtime via the LoRaWAN network from a gateway to our cloud based platform.

Platform

We provide a cloud based intelligent platform accessible from a browser anywhere across all units.

The collected sensor data are summarised together with local weather data containing precipitation and wind direction for comprehensive cross analytics, check for anomalies, unhealthy conditions, our proactive mould diagram etc. 

Use our platform for action planning, healthcheck, reporting and alarms.

Alarm

Set your own customised alarms or use our preconfigured best practices, to make sure you receive timely alarms when incidents happen or conditions change to become unhealthy. 

When thresholds are surpassed or an anomaly is detected automated alarms are sent by email. 

Easy installation in few steps

Install sensor

Scan the attached QR, follow the guided process and you’ll be ready in minutes. 

REgister

Our guide will prompt you to register the sensors properly using tags and photos to ensure that the solution is configured to the best performance.  

Plug gateway

The gateway comes with a sim card, so just plug it in a socket and the solution is live. 

Get Insights!

Involve team members to review real time data in the dashboard, start receiving alarms and use the reporting tool for moisture reporting, handover etc.

Compare with local weather data

Compare your sensor measurements with weather data from local weather stations. Here you see an example of the measured humidity and temperature from a sensor compared with the local outside temperature.

Comparing sensor measurements with local weather data often provides valuable insights and explanations to why measurement patterns change and what caused it.

Get future projections

Use future projections to get an idea of how the measurements will develop in the near-future.

Projections can be used to

  • estimate when the wood reaches dry values
  • estimate when the humidity of the air is dry enough
  • know if the coming days are suitable for closing the construction

Compare multiple sensors

Compare measurements across multiple sensors to easily pinpoint sensors acting different from the rest.

This is a great way to quickly determine if something is wrong at any of the sensor locations, or simply make sure everything looks fine.

Comparison can be done for all measured parameters.

Access the raw data

You have access to all of your data. This includes raw values like temperature, humidity, moisture, electrical resistance, signal strength parameters and gateway details.

Access your raw measurements data on the Woodsense platform.

Raw measurements available in the platform.

Export to CSV or Excel

Download your raw data to a .csv or Excel file and import it to your preferred data manipulation tool. The exported data includes both the sensor measurements (including raw electrical resistance) and the local weather data.

Export your raw data to csv or Excel files on the Woodsense platform.

Example of exported raw measurements imported to a Google Sheet (Excel).

Access through OpenAPI

All of your measurements and sensor information can be extracted using our open REST API. Our API is defined using the OpenAPI specification and can be found at dev.woodsense.com.

FAQ

Can I see the technical specifications on the hardware?

What is the difference between a wood moisture meter and a sensor?

Expand arrow button

A wood moisture meter is a manual tool used for performing few wood moisture measurements by hand at one point in time, whereas a sensor is a device that performs automatic wood moisture measurements continuously and saves them in the cloud making all measurements available for the given period of time.

What is the difference between a capacitive measurement and resistance measurement?

Expand arrow button

A capacitive measurement measures the wood moisture indirectly by using a magnetic field between two plates, whereas a wood moisture measured using a resistance measurement converts the electrical resistance between two electrodes in the wood into a wood moisture. One of the advantages of the resistance measurement is that you can determine the wood moisture at a certain depth of the wood, by using insulated screws as electrodes.

What is the difference between a moisture logger and a sensor?

Expand arrow button

A moisture logger saves each moisture measurement locally on the logger often using an SD card or similar which later can be retrieved manually and transferred to a computer for analysis etc. The sensor will transfer the measurement to the cloud immediately making each measurement available in real-time and removes any storage limitations e.g. an SD card could have.

Can I get a better insurance using sensors?

Expand arrow button

Many insurance companies and brokers are listing using sensors like ours as an "extraordinary effort" which will put the project in a lower risk class leading to cheaper insurances.
