system supports that serve as supports before concrete pouring
Remote monitoring of load using Bluetooth-based sensors
Real-time monitoring is possible even during construction or demolition.


The Institute of Advanced Convergence Technology (IACT) announced on the 15th that it had jointly developed 'system support wireless load monitoring technology' with Lotte E&C and Build It and applied it to the construction site of the Gyeonggi Gwangmyeong Medical Complex Cluster development project.

System support wireless load monitoring technology is a technology that remotely monitors the load of system supports—frame structures that act as supports to ensure safety before concrete pouring—using Bluetooth-based wireless load measurement sensors.

Compared to existing load monitoring technologies that could only measure via wires and had high unit costs, the newly developed technology expands the working radius and increases technological utility through wireless operation, and is highly economical due to its reusability. In addition, real-time monitoring is possible during construction and demolition.

"This research achievement is a meaningful result achieved through cooperation and mutual growth among regional specialized research institutions, large corporations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Gyeonggi-do (Buildit)," said Director Joo Young-chang of the Convergence Research Institute. "We will do our best to ensure that convergence technology is researched and utilized in various fields."

In the future, the Convergence Institute plans to secure the safety of construction sites with a high risk of accidents through system support wireless load monitoring technology, and to advance related technologies to create a safe Gyeonggi-do through science and technology.
