in remote locations, the units are powered by Solar Panels and utilize cellular communication  (Off-Grid setup) ensuring continuous operation and data transmission regardless of the lack of power infrastructure.
The Ariel system’s high-sensitivity AE data enabled researchers to establish a key correlation: a significant increase in acoustic emission activity when humidity dropped below 20%. This capability to accurately measure stress-induced AE, and correlate it with environmental data, is vital for long-term structural integrity assessment.

🌊Dead Sea Shoreline – Environmental Crack Monitoring and Near-Surface Geophysics
In collaboration with the Geological Survey of Israel, Emma Sensing systems are deployed near the shores of the Dead Sea to monitor micro-crack activity and rock weathering under extreme temperature and humidity variations- a critical application in Near-Surface Geophysics research.
The system is deployed across the study area using a flexible architecture that supports both wide-area monitoring and data aggregation.

🧱 Western Wall Monitoring, Jerusalem – Structural Health of Ancient Stones

The Western Wall in Jerusalem presents unique monitoring challenges due to its historical significance and underground location.
Emma Sensing systems are installed along the lower section of the wall to detect micro-cracks and early signs of stone instability.

Unlike outdoor field deployments, this system operates using a direct electrical connection and a Wi-Fi network, as there is no cellular coverage underground.
The AE sensors are embedded in the stone structure, continuously tracking micro-seismic events and stress changes that could indicate detachment risks.

Data is transmitted in real-time to the cloud, enabling long-term analysis of the wall’s structural behavior.

Electric Pole Integrity and Foundation Monitoring ⚡
Replacing Destructive Inspections with Non-Intrusive AE
The structural integrity of power utility poles is constantly threatened by two primary factors: underground corrosion of the metal legs and cracks in the concrete foundations. Conventional assessment methods are costly, disruptive, time-consuming, and are typically performed only once every 15-20 years, potentially missing critical failures.
The Ariel Logger (AE) system provides a highly reliable, fast, non-intrusive, and automated NDT solution.
The system delivers assessment of damage severity 
It is capable of identifying active corrosion in the legs, cracks in the foundation, and even specific AE events generated by loosening of anchoring bolts.

This technology provides utility companies with a complete and detailed structural assessment, enabling them to determine precisely target maintenance efforts.
