Get Started with Maturix In-situ
Step 1: Set up the project
(Required before any monitoring)
- Create a new project
- Assign devices to that project.
- Add users (internal or external) who should receive alarms via email/SMS.
Step 2: Add maturity calibration
Why the following steps are needed:
- Maturix estimates the in-place concrete strength using the Maturity Method.
- You must enter the maturity calibration for each of the concrete mixes you intend to use for strength estimation.
How to do it:
- Add your mix calibrations in the Concrete Database
- Assign them to projects
- Allow external users to add calibration under Concrete Mixes if needed(It is under in the Project menu)
- You can always start with monitoring temperature and maturity. You can also always add/update the maturity calibration later
Step 3: Prepare casts and monitorings
Before installing equipment on-site, spend a few minutes preparing on the software.
How to do it:
- Create a cast in the web portal
- Add monitorings inside that cast
- Assign each transmitter to the correct monitoring
Step 4: Install sensors (at the job site)
(Thermocouples + Transmitters)
Instructions:
- Secure thermocouples to rebar with the tip positioned at where you want to measure the temperature (and the strength development)
- Connect each thermocouple cable to a Maturix transmitter
- Transmitters turn on automatically and start sending data
Check the installation instructions for more information.
Step 5: Start monitoring
Once everything is installed:
- Open the Maturix In-situ software
- Locate your prepared monitorings
- Start the monitorings
You can start the monitorings at any time and use the Data Editor to adjust the start time to fit with the time of pouring.
Step 6: Follow the results in real-time
The power of Maturix starts to show when you can follow the temperature and strength development in real-time from anywhere.
- Live temperature and maturity tracking
- Invite external collaborators to access casts or monitorings
- Share links to specific cast reports
- Set up alarms (email / SMS) for important events
Step 7: Reporting and exporting data
After the concrete work is done:
- Disconnect thermocouples and cut the cable at the concrete surface
- Stop the monitorings
- Save the cast report in the web portal
- Trim graphs using the Data Editor if needed
- Export reports as PDF or Excel/CSV
