PRODUCT
Villari develops affordable wireless sensors that are capable of monitoring sub-mm crack growth in steel
assets.

With these sensors, Villari provides periodic reports on damage that accumulates in critical locations of a
steel structure, for a period of 5+ years

These valuable and timely insights lead to reduced cost of inspections and to more realistic lifetime
estimations, such that repair & replacements can be safely postponed.

Villari delivers this service to:

• Asset owners, that aim to maximise operational lifetime of their assets.

• Engineering firms, hired by asset owners to make safe and responsible asset lifetime estimations.

WHAT WE DELIVER
Service Value
Reduced cost of inspections, especially in hard-to-reach
Remote inspection:
locations
Continuous monitoring of identified cracks, crack
indications, and intact critical components Higher accuracy of reported crack size, frequent updates

Safer operations
Automated warning:
A message is immediately sent to the operator when a
Reduced chance of unplanned maintenance and
crack has reached a predefined critical size
unplanned shutdown

Due to continuous information gathering, accurate crack

growth rate predictions are made
Predictive maintenance:
Requires that data has been collected over a time period Extend asset lifetime through hotspot monitoring

Postponing repair and replacements due to continuous

monitoring

WHY WE ARE UNIQUE
Wireless No need to bring cables during installation

Affordable Smart technology allows low-cost electronics

No surface preparation Apply our sensors directly on top of painted steel

Long battery life Minimum of 5 year lifetime for each sensor unit

Plug & play Highly flexible design allows application in many different configurations

Limited data profile Intelligent physics interpretation keeps data volume below 15 kB per month

Flexible reporting Quarterly, monthly, and weekly reporting frequencies possible

High accuracy Competitive with conventional NDT methods including visual, MPI and UT
