SHUTE Sensing Solutions

SHUTE Sensing Solutions A/S is a pioneering company that has developed the world's first commercial moisture sensor system for concrete, capable of withstanding 100% relative humidity. This innovative system, known as ConcDry®, acts as "eyes" within concrete structures, accurately measuring moisture levels over time.

The primary clients for SHUTE are construction companies who need precise information about the drying process of concrete floors. This is crucial during the construction phase, especially when wooden or linoleum floors are to be installed on the concrete. Traditionally, samples are taken to ensure the concrete has the correct moisture content. However, SHUTE's sensor system allows for continuous monitoring of the drying behavior, enabling work to commence as soon as the moisture content is satisfactory. This could potentially save both time and costs compared to continuous sampling in the concrete.

The sensor system works by embedding a fiber into the concrete. This fiber acts as an indicator for the timing and speed of the concrete drying, and can also be used as a continuous monitor for the condition of the concrete along the fiber's measurement points. The fibers are connected to a device that logs data, and the measurements from each fiber can be displayed on a computer as a "health chart".

In terms of its business model, SHUTE operates in the construction technology market, providing a unique solution to a common problem. The company generates revenue by selling its patented sensor system to construction companies.
