Doka has released DokaXact Load and Pressure sensors, enabling real-time monitoring of the concrete pouring process. DokaXact sensors are tough, waterproof and dustproof and can be connected to the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth.
“We aim to support our customers with digitalization in order to optimize construction projects. With data generation and real-time analysis, we are taking a further step towards ‘smart formwork,’ ensuring greater efficiency and safety in concreting,” said Doka Group CEO Robert Hauser.
DokaXact Load offers a solution for monitoring formwork loads. The sensors are designed for installation on standard tie systems, providing reliable data on tie loads. No special tools or major installation work required. The DokaXact pressure sensor is designed for monitoring fresh concrete pressure. It can be mounted directly on plywood and requires only a 26 mm hole.
The data from both sensors is visualized in real time in the DokaXact app. The user interface allows for simple and independent operation from a smartphone. The DokaXact web portal also provides detailed information and transparent project documentation.
The new DokaXact sensors are designed for use in the energy sector, in residential or commercial construction and in projects with anchor loads or high, single-sided walls or pillars. “Wherever mission-critical data is required, projects can be optimized with DokaXact,” said Hauser.
