Practical structural health monitoring for heavy fleets
EMU researchers building rugged sensors and clear analytics to help fleets cut downtime and plan maintenance. Join a 15‑minute discovery call to share priorities and pilot opportunities.
Our Vision
We want practical, easy-to-deploy monitoring that gives maintenance teams timely, interpretable signals about structural health so they can plan work, avoid failures, and reduce downtime.
Detect early
Flag non-obvious trends before they become failures.
Fleet-ready
Rugged hardware and simple installation for busy operations.
Actionable output
Prioritized alerts and short, interpretable reports for technicians.
Use Cases
Class 8 frame & axle monitoring
Track fatigue accumulation on tractors and trailers across routes. Monitor structural stress patterns in real-time to predict maintenance needs before critical failures occur.
Post-event checks
Quick structural checks after impacts, rollovers, or overload events. Get immediate assessments of structural integrity to make informed decisions about vehicle safety and repair priorities.
RV fleet safety
Detect chassis and suspension wear for long-haul vehicles. Monitor structural health over extended journeys to ensure passenger safety and reduce unexpected breakdowns.

Let's Talk About Your Fleet Monitoring Needs
We're seeking short conversations (15–20 minutes), problem stories, and partners for quick field trials. Share a pain point, request a demo, or explore a pilot deployment.
Data & privacy: deployments in discovery are opt-in; data ownership and anonymization options are available for partners.
