Converge Helix
Reusable wireless concrete monitoring system that delivers real-time strength and temperature data across large construction sites.
Reusable wireless concrete monitoring system that delivers real-time strength and temperature data across large construction sites.
ConcreteDNA®: Construction-Site-Optimised App for Accurate Monitoring of Concrete Strength & Temperature, Developed in Compliance with ASTM C1074 Standards.
The reusable Helix Node ensures ongoing value, making it an efficient long-term investment.
Place the Helix Hub once and forget about it. With 1.5 miles of range you can collect real-time data on huge sites.
A reusable sensor node that connects to Thermal Tails™ to measure the internal strength and temperature of a concrete pour. Harnessing long-range LoRaWAN technology ensures real-time data collection up to 1.5 miles.
Setup and install the Helix Hub™ in a central and elevated position with good visibility. The Helix System now has a means of sending data to ConcreteDNA®.
Connect a Thermal Tail™ to a Helix Node™ and register the Tail using the ConcreteDNA® mobile app by scanning the QR code. Attach the probe to rebar at your desired measurement point. The embedded probe will send temperature and strength data to the Node.
Turn on the Helix Node™ and attach it to hoarding or an elevated position outside of the pour. It will transmit data to the Hub and onto ConcreteDNA®. Once monitoring of the pour is complete, simply detach the Node from the Tail and reattach it to a new desired Tail.
Use the ConcreteDNA® app to manually collect data over Bluetooth from the Signal Sensor +™. Concrete strength, temperature, and AI milestone predictions can be viewed in real time.
Automatically collect real-time data from the Helix Node™ and view it in ConcreteDNA®. With 1.5 miles of wireless range you can place it once and forget about it. Real-time data, all day, every day.
