Cultural Heritage Analytical techniques Wireless Sensor Network Conservation Monitoring

Portable instruments (Raman, XRF, EIS, etc.) are employed for assessing and monitoring the conservation state of multi-materic cultural heritage artefacts in indoor and outdoor environments.

Moreover, smart sensors and battery-operated devices are designed and developed for measuring different quantities, such as temperature, relative humidity, gases and atmospheric pollutants, locally and without any cabling, for ensuring the long-lasting preservation of the artefacts and developing tailored conservation strategies.

All measurements and devices are performed and developed satisfying all requirements for their employment in the cultural heritage field.

  • 1 In-situ assessment of the material/environment interaction
  • 2 Smart sensor for microclimate and pollutants monitoring
