The cost effective Palert+ seismic sensor can be installed in strategic locations of a building or structure with the purpose of monitoring performance of key load bearing elements following an earthquake.

This is accomplished by a comparative analysis of the ‘before and after’ resonant frequency profiles, displacement and rigidity, to ascertain the possibility of structural damage. Even with only three units in a building, the system can provide accurate analysis of structural health. Further structural modelling, using Palert+ data will allow engineers to quickly establish a detailed picture of the impact that a seismic event might have had on a given building or structure.

The specially developed and scientifically proven algorithm make the Palert unique in earthquake prewarning which is why over 3,500 have now been installed worldwide. Many businesses need to know what the effect of an earthquake is on their infrastructure.

To mitigate the Health and Safety risk, companies can provide warning for their staff and visitors of earthquakes before the shock wave arrives using the Palert system. In addition they can automatically activate emergency procedures such as shutting down systems in the event of a pending shake.

Jenlogix design, configure, source, build and assemble systems, including industrial computers, embedded systems, data entry / acquisition devices, communications servers and a variety of display technologies for heavy industrial / agricultural environments and also for less rugged commercial environments. They have a long technical pedigree, a history of quality and a reputation for service which we take seriously, so for more information on earthquake alerts, seismic warning systems and quake alarm, please go to http://www.earthquakeearlywarning.systems/ .
