Concrete Monitoring Hardware
Real-time concrete strength and temperature monitoring.
SmartHub connects to cast-in probes to track concrete temperature and maturity-based strength from pour to sign-off.
SmartHub connects to cast-in probes to track concrete temperature and maturity-based strength from pour to sign-off.
SmartHub is the reusable hardware layer of ConcreteAI's concrete monitoring system. It connects to cast-in probes, records concrete temperature history, and sends live data to the ConcreteAI platform for temperature monitoring and maturity-based strength estimation.
The probes remain embedded in the concrete. SmartHub stays outside the pour, is recovered after stripping, and can be reused on the next element.
SmartHub tracks the two concrete conditions that most affect early-age site decisions: temperature and strength gain.
Monitor temperature at selected depths or locations from the time of pour. Live trends help teams understand curing conditions, control temperature rise, track peak temperatures, and assess thermal gradients that may contribute to thermal crack formation in mass concrete elements.
Estimate in-place strength gain using the concrete temperature history and a project-specific maturity calibration. Strength trends help teams decide when to strip formwork, stress tendons, lift precast elements, or proceed with the next construction activity.
SmartHub connects the field hardware, cloud dashboard, and optional strength validation workflow into one monitoring system, from probe installation to site decision. Click any step to see details.

SmartHub is the reusable field device behind ConcreteAI's monitoring workflows. The data collected from site can support strength monitoring, mass concrete temperature monitoring, thermal crack simulation and analysis, and project reporting.
SmartHub sends site data to the ConcreteAI platform so project teams can monitor concrete temperature and strength trends as the pour develops. Live dashboards, alerts, and reports make concrete data visible when decisions need to be made.
SmartHub can be used across concrete elements where temperature history, early-age strength gain, or thermal behaviour needs to be monitored from pour to completion.

SmartHub is a reusable concrete monitoring device. It connects to cast-in probes, records concrete temperature history, and sends live data to the ConcreteAI platform for temperature monitoring and maturity-based strength estimation.
No. SmartHub is mounted outside the formwork and recovered after stripping, then reused on the next pour. Only the probes remain embedded in the concrete.
One SmartHub connects up to four probes simultaneously, covering different depths, locations, or structural elements within a single pour.
Yes. SmartHub estimates in-place strength gain using the concrete temperature history and a project-specific maturity calibration. Strength trends support decisions such as formwork stripping, post-tensioning, lifting, and demoulding.
Yes. SmartHub monitors temperature rise, peak heat, and core-surface differentials during large pours. Probes can be positioned at the core, surface, edge, or other high-risk temperature zones.
Yes. Actual site temperature data from SmartHub can be used to validate thermal models, compare predicted and measured heat profiles, and refine crack risk assessment.
A typical setup includes cast-in probes fixed before the pour, a SmartHub device mounted outside the formwork, a Gateway for wireless transmission, and access to the ConcreteAI platform for live dashboards, alerts, and reports.
SmartHub provides maturity-based strength estimates that can reduce reliance on early-age cube or cylinder testing. Where physical strength evidence is required for acceptance, SmartCure supports temperature-matched cube curing alongside SmartHub monitoring.
