Abstract

I-SUM (Integrated Smart Ultrasonic Monitoring) System is an integrated embedded ultrasonic guided-waves-based system consisting of methodologies and algorithms performed over data obtained by I-SUM devices to obtain damage detection, positioning, and characterization. I-SUM device ruled by I-SUM software performs tests and transmits the collected data to the controller device where it is processed. Through algorithms and AI models developed “ad-hoc” for each field of application, I-SUM software provides clear, concise, and easily interpretable information of the current state of structures. I-SUM system allows structural integrity inspection tests to be carried out by a minimally trained operator. It can also run scheduled tests autonomously and deliver alerts, reports, on-demand raw data or structural damage detection results. This system aims to provide useful information about the most typical damages on engineering structures, reducing the time of inspection, and avoiding systems of complex installation and operation. Moreover, their use is intended to reduce inspection costs during manufacturing and operation, increasing the quality, safety, and durability of the systems composed of the target structures. This paper presents the industry needs that motivate this development, the system architecture, and the applications for which it has been conceived.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-12:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 2 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
