SMART CORROSION MANAGEMENT – TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE STRUCTURES
THE CHALLENGE – INVISIBLE CORROSION, VISIBLE CONSEQUENCES
Corrosion is one of the greatest challenges in modern civil engineering.
Moisture, chlorides, and CO₂ penetrate the concrete and alter its properties, causing corrosion damage to the reinforcement, material fatigue, reduced load-bearing capacity, and high rehabilitation costs.
Traditional inspections often detect damage only at a late stage; maintenance remains reactive instead of predictive.
How can the condition of a structure be continuously monitored, assessed, intelligently controlled, and kept stable before corrosion becomes a problem?
THE SOLUTION – INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS FOR LONG-TERM SAFETY
With the ACTIVECONTROL system, structural preservation becomes smart. The products combine sensing technology, power supply, communication, and cloud intelligence into a fully networked protection system. They measure, analyse, and control electrochemical processes in real time, locally or via the digital APORTAL.
A platform that detects changes at an early stage, enables timely response, and significantly extends the service life of structures.
THE ACTIVECONTROL SYSTEM – MODULAR. PRECISE. DIGITALLY CONNECTED.
ACTIVELINK®
The central control module supplies and connects all components with power and data. Inside, the ALINK GATEWAY operates as an industrial mini PC that functions as a router, firewall, and data manager. This creates a secure, scalable infrastructure that flexibly adapts to any project.
APWRHUB®
Each unit controls four independent circuits and precisely measures voltage and current in real time from active or passive anode systems. Via an integrated 2.4 GHz wireless connection, the APWRHUB receives data from the sensors (AMOTE) and transmits it to the overall system via hybrid cables.
AMOTE®
Compact, wireless, and durable. It measures electrochemical and physical parameters such as potential, current, temperature, humidity, and impedance. With battery operation or a solar option, the AMOTE is ideally suited for hard-to-reach areas or large-scale structures.
APWRLINK®
This unit expands the system for large-scale installations. It distributes power and data over long distances and enables complex network structures, such as those required for bridges, tunnels, parking structures, or offshore facilities.
APAD®
A robust handheld device for installation and diagnostics.
Using the APAD, systems can be configured, tested, and commissioned locally – ideal for construction sites, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
APORTAL®
The APORTAL is the central management and analytics platform. All data from the ACTIVECONTROL system is consolidated here, forming a digital data twin of the structure and the ALINK GATEWAY. Via a secure cloud architecture, systems can be monitored, analysed, and controlled in real time from anywhere. Automated reports, trend analyses, and alarm functions enable predictive maintenance at the highest level.
SMART DATA. SMART DECISIONS. SMART PROTECTION.
With the ACTIVECONTROL system, corrosion detection and protection become an intelligent, connected process.
Instead of periodic inspections, continuous monitoring ensures safety, transparency, and efficiency.
THIS MEANS:
- Early detection of risks through precise measurement data
- Networked systems that respond automatically
- Reduced, precise, and targeted intervention through digital planning
- Extended service life for structures of all kinds
ENGINEERING MEETS INTELLIGENCE
The ACTIVECONTROL system represents an era in which energy efficiency, environmental awareness, and minimal CO₂ emissions have a place in your structure.
An interplay of technology, data, and precision, developed to preserve structures before they suffer damage.
