Collection Management

Organize and track artworks within collections, manage metadata, and maintain comprehensive artwork profiles with images and documentation.

📦

Transport Orchestration

Plan and execute multi-destination transports with datalogger assignment, environmental threshold configuration, and real-time monitoring.

🔬

IoT Device Fleet

Manage dataloggers, sensors (temperature, humidity, vibration), and protective crates with battery monitoring and configuration management.

📊

Real-time Monitoring

Track environmental conditions during transport with configurable thresholds, instant alerts, and comprehensive data visualization.

👥

Multi-tenant Organizations

Complete data isolation between museums and organizations. Users can belong to one or multiple organizations with role-based access control and automatic data filtering.

📱

Mobile Integration (StaRT)

StaRT mobile app for on-site transport execution by Administrators and Super-Admins. Auto-generates destinations with GPS + timestamps via START/STOP buttons. Bluetooth datalogger configuration and photo capture.

About S-MA-C-H ​

S-MA-C-H (Science & Mechanics in Conservation of Heritage) develops innovative IoT solutions for artwork transport monitoring. Our system combines:

  • Angular Web Application for comprehensive management
  • StaRT Mobile App for on-site transport execution
  • Spring Boot Backend for data processing and API
  • IoT Dataloggers with environmental sensors
  • Keycloak for secure authentication

System Overview ​

Key Features ​

For Administrators (Museum/Organization) ​

  • Manage artwork collections and transport inventory
  • Track datalogger fleet and crate inventory
  • Plan and create transports with sensor configuration
  • Execute transports on-site using StaRT mobile app:
    • Configure dataloggers via Bluetooth
    • Press START to auto-create destinations with GPS + timestamp
    • Press STOP to complete destinations
    • Capture photos before START and after STOP
  • View real-time alerts and historical data
  • Monitor transports remotely via web dashboard

For Super-Admins (S-MA-C-H Experts) ​

  • Same permissions as Administrators, but for ALL organizations
  • Most likely users of StaRT mobile app for on-site execution
  • All Administrator capabilities:
    • Configure environmental thresholds per transport
    • Execute transports on-site (START/STOP with auto-destination creation)
    • Monitor transports remotely via web dashboard
    • Analyze sensor data and add expert comments
    • Update artwork passports with risk assessments
  • Additional system-wide capabilities:
    • Create and manage organizations
    • Manage datalogger product catalog
    • System configuration

For Viewers (Read-Only Users) ​

  • View organization's transports (read-only)
  • View real-time alerts and notifications (read-only)
  • View transport history and logs (read-only)
  • No modification or execution permissions
  • No inventory access

Tech Stack ​

  • Frontend: Angular, Material Design
  • Backend: Spring Boot, MongoDB
  • Authentication: Keycloak (OAuth2/OIDC)
  • IoT: Datalogger with environmental sensors
  • Storage: MinIO (S3-compatible)
