Data rich problems
• Location:• Fixed beacon (balise)• Moving sensors• Ultrasonic• Laser• Terabytes per day
© 2013
Data poor problems
• Old structures• Difficult, infrequent inspections• Very old records
© 2013
Challenges
• Requirements for interchange of maintenance data between fixed and mobile actors
• Automation of monitoring on mobile platforms, and interface with other actors
• New cost modelling tools for complex distributed health monitoring, and value to the business.
