Artwork Management

Organize artworks with tags (Medieval Art, Tapestry, etc.). Each artwork becomes a central monitoring hub for both static (museum) and transport monitoring sessions.

📊

Monitoring Sessions

Auto-created monitoring sessions via StaRT mobile app. Track environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration) with real-time alerts during stationary storage or transport.

🔬

IoT Device Inventory

Manage loggers, sensors, and packaging (inclosures + crates). Each logger connects to one sensor with 1-3 captors (temperature, humidity, accelerometer).

📱

StaRT Mobile App

On-site monitoring execution by Administrators and Super-Admins. Setup monitoring, auto-detect dataloggers via Bluetooth, push configuration, and capture start/stop events with GPS.

👥

Multi-tenant Organizations

Complete data isolation between museums and organizations. Role-based access control (Viewer, Administrator, Super-Admin) with automatic organization filtering.

🔐

Real-time Notifications

Event-based workflow with instant alerts pushed from StaRT app. Monitor threshold violations, environmental changes, and system events in real-time.

About S-MA-C-H ​

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

  • Angular Web Application for comprehensive management
  • StaRT Mobile App for on-site monitoring 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 artworks (with tags) and inventory
  • Configure environmental monitoring thresholds per artwork
  • Execute monitoring on-site using StaRT mobile app:
    • Setup monitoring (static or transport)
    • Auto-detect dataloggers via Bluetooth
    • Press START to begin recording with GPS + timestamp
    • Press STOP to end monitoring
  • View real-time alerts and historical data
  • Monitor artworks remotely via web dashboard
  • Analyze monitoring data and update artwork records

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 across all organizations:
    • Configure environmental thresholds
    • Execute monitoring on-site (Setup/Start/Stop)
    • Monitor artworks remotely
    • 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 artworks (read-only)
  • View real-time alerts and notifications (read-only)
  • View monitoring history and logs (read-only)
  • No modification or execution permissions
  • No inventory access

Tech Stack ​

  • Frontend: Angular, Spartan UI (Shadcn port)
  • Backend: Spring Boot, MongoDB
  • Authentication: Keycloak (OAuth2/OIDC)
  • IoT: Datalogger (Logger + Sensor) with environmental captors
  • Storage: MinIO (S3-compatible)
  • Infrastructure: h8lio
