The system
SuperMicron is a complete system: sensing element, wireless acquisition unit, and visualization platform work together, with no integration to design. It requires no scheduled maintenance, and its cost is low: around five times lower than alternative solutions on the market.
A single installation pairs the strain sensor with an electronic unit that integrates an accelerometer, a temperature sensor, and a transmission module. One placement instruments the measurement point for strain, temperature, and tilt, all captured simultaneously.
The sensor matrix, thermoset or thermoplastic, is selected based on the structure's material and determines the measurable strain range. The rest of the system, from electronics to software, stays the same.
The system is available in LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or Wireless versions, depending on site requirements, with BLE interfacing available. Communication is bidirectional.
01 / The two sensor versions
Same system, same platform: the Smart Skin Sensor matrix changes, and with it the measurable strain range.
Thermoset version
3% Measuring Strain Range
The version for rigid structures. The thermoset-matrix Smart Skin Sensor is bonded to the surface with a substrate-specific structural adhesive, or embedded between the layers of a composite laminate during production.
Thermoplastic version
10% Measuring Strain Range
The version for materials that work under large deformation. The thermoplastic matrix takes measurable elongation up to 10%: a range beyond the reach of conventional strain gauges and of the thermoset version itself, opening up the monitoring of timber and glulam.
02 / Sensor formats
Without the vulcanised coating the Smart Skin Sensor is just 0.25 mm thick: bonded to the surface or embedded between the layers of a laminate.

03 / Monitored quantities
One node, three quantities acquired continuously.
04 / Installation and materials
Structural bonding in under 10 minutes, on most construction materials.
05 / Technical specifications
Battery life Battery life is not a fixed value: it depends on the battery pack and the usage parameters — reading interval, heartbeat, operating temperature. It is sized case by case during configuration, according to the service life the installation requires, choosing the battery capacity accordingly.
