9.3. Smart Sensors and IoT Monitoring

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a smart sensor?

   Hint

   Think about its role in monitoring environmental conditions.

2. 2.

   Define IoT.

   Hint

   Consider what 'things' in IoT connects.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of smart sensors?

   • To collect and process data
   • To build structures
   • To manage projects
   • To create concrete

   Hint

   Reflect on their role in construction monitoring.

4. 4.

   True or False: IoT allows for real-time monitoring from any location.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about what IoT connects.

5. 5.

   You are managing a construction project where extreme weather is predicted. Describe how you can use smart sensors and IoT to mitigate risks.

   Hint

   Think about what parameters would need real-time monitoring.

6. 6.

   Assess the implications of a technical failure in smart sensor systems on a concrete project. What backup strategies could be employed?

   Hint

   Regarding backed-up systems or strategies, consider how to maintain continuous monitoring.
