MONSEC® enables remote monitoring of concrete setting in construction projects and provides accurate, real-time information on concrete strength and maturity during the setting process.
The MONSEC® system uses next-generation wireless sensors for the automatic recording of key parameters inside the formwork, processes the data in the cloud and provides you with key parameters for decision-making in the management of concrete curing and optimization of concrete.
Integrated and automated system
Accurate information in real time
All your formwork in one tool
Information in the cloud accessible 24/7
Programmable measuring time for each sensor
Alarms via SMS
Optimize deadlines and costs
Quick and easy to implement
Automate the control of your formwork
The MONSEC® system uses ultra-low consumption wireless sensors distributed throughout the formwork. After the concrete has been poured, the sensors measure the temperature and humidity at programmed intervals, providing constant information about the conditions inside the concrete.
The MONSEC® web application allows access to this information in real time, from anywhere.
Configuration in minutes with the mobile app
The introduction and configuration of the formwork in the system is done with the MONSEC® mobile application. This application allows to generate an unlimited number of forms, plan the distribution of the sensors in each project and parameterize the measurement intervals of the sensors independently, as well as program automatic alarms in case of deviation from the expected values.
Presentation of key parameters in real time
The intelligent MONSEC® algorithms perform a precise calculation of the instantaneous resistance of concrete Rc (MPa) from the temperature and relative humidity records made by the sensors. Through the MONSEC® web application, you can track key parameters, view evolution charts and generate reports at any time during the process.

Your ally in decision making
With MONSEC® you can manage all your projects on a single platform, save unnecessary waiting time for stripping and reduce the risk of non-conformity in compression tests using specimens.
The automation of data collection and processing saves time and human resources, while remote access to information makes it possible to streamline processes and decision-making on formwork interventions.
The Monsec sensor family
Monsec
Wireless sensors of ultra-low consumption and high coverage, which measure the temperature and humidity of the concrete during the setting process.
They work with a battery with a lifespan of approximately 90 days and take readings at pre-defined intervals. Once installed inside the formwork, they measure key parameters and communicate by UHF radio signal with the Monsec station, which sends the data to the cloud.
The Monsec sensors help to choose the optimal moment for removing the formwork, saving any unnecessary waiting time.
Monsec cable
Ultra-low consumption wireless sensors that measure the temperature and humidity of the concrete through a measuring element connected by cable, with different lengths (up to 15m) to the Monsec sensor, thus being able to reach greater depths according to the needs of the constructive elements.
There are options to run on batteries or connected to the mains. The sensors communicate directly with the Monsec station by UHF radio signal and it sends the measurements to the cloud where they are processed and visualized in the Monsec App.
Monsec thermocouple
Monsec thermocouple makes it possible to obtain high-precision data on the temperature of the concrete at a large number of points inside the structure, with models available with 4 or 8 ports.
