SERVICE PATH
Refamo's service path consists of four stages. Depending on the project, turn-key solutions are provided, i.e. all stages are performed by Refamo. Alternatively, the client might have FEM models, intercoms or installation resources that can be utilized.
REQUIREMENTS

FInite element analysis
The to-be-monitored hot spots of the welded steel structure are identified through Finite Element Analysis.
LOAD HISTORY
In retrofit cases, information about the load history is beneficial for the determination of the current fatigue level.
AGE OF DETAILS
The age of the construction details needs to be known in order to determine the starting fatigue level.
connected data
GPS, acceleration, weather, etc. data can be coupled with the fatigue data.
installation
Analysis
4r Algorithm
The core of our technology is our algorithm that converts measured real loads data into fatigue data according to the 4R methodology. The computing is done locally on the asset. Depending on the use case, either just the change in the Fatigue Index or a combination of Fatigue Index and the raw loads data are sent to the cloud.
