Research & Development

Where Science Meets Infrastructure

Grounded in Evidence

At Pulse IoT Technologies, research and development is not a department — it is the foundation of everything we build. Our technology is born from rigorous scientific inquiry, multi-year university partnerships, and real-world field validation across the UAE and the wider region.

We believe that corrosion monitoring for critical infrastructure must be grounded in independent evidence, not just commercial claims. That is why every component of the Pulse IoT100 system — from the electrochemical sensing elements to the data acquisition hubs — has been designed, tested, and refined through structured academic and laboratory programmes.

The Pulse IoT Promise

Every claim we make about sensor performance is backed by independently conducted testing, peer-reviewed research, or documented field trials. Our investors, clients, and partners can trace every capability to a verifiable source.

University Research Partnerships

Pulse IoT maintains active R&D collaborations with leading regional and international universities. These partnerships ensure our technology is scientifically rigorous, independently validated, and continuously advancing.

American University in Dubai (AUD)

Independent Sensor Validation Partner — Infrastructure Sustainability and Assessment Center (ISAC)Infrastructure Sustainability and Assessment Center (ISAC)

Pulse IoT commissioned ISAC at AUD to conduct a rigorous, independent 6-month experimental programme evaluating the Pulse IoT100 sensor under controlled corrosion conditions. Led by Dr. Mohamad Nagi, Ph.D., the programme tested sensor response to chloride-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete specimens, producing quantitative electrochemical data across multiple sensing depths.

American University of Sharjah (AUS)

R&D Collaboration Partner

Pulse IoT collaborates with AUS on the development and refinement of sensing technology, sensor geometry, and field deployment methodologies for embedded corrosion monitoring in concrete structures.

External Corrosion Research Network

Regional Testing & Field Validation

Pulse IoT works with corrosion specialists and engineering laboratories in Jordan and across the GCC to test sensor performance under varying environmental conditions including humidity, temperature extremes, and high-chloride marine environments.

The Pulse IoT100 — Engineering & Design

The Pulse IoT100 is not an off-the-shelf sensor. It is a purpose-engineered electrochemical system designed from first principles for embedded, long-life deployment inside reinforced concrete structures in harsh environments.

Dual-Depth Sensing

Two sensing elements positioned at 15 mm and 33 mm from the rebar provide a layered view of chloride ingress through the concrete cover — enabling staged alert levels before corrosion reaches structural steel.

Electrochemical Measurement

The sensor measures electrochemical potential between each sensing element and the rebar — producing quantitative corrosion rate data and cumulative metal loss figures continuously over time.

Advanced 3D-Printed Construction

Sensors are manufactured using advanced 3D-printing technology, allowing precise geometry control, consistent cover depth positioning, and durability in high-chloride, high-humidity GCC environments.

Rebar Integration

A metallic strip on the underside of the sensor provides direct electrical connectivity with the steel rebar, ensuring accurate reference measurements and stable long-term data continuity.

IoT Infrastructure

Data Acquisition & & IoT Infrastructure

The sensing elements are only part of the system. Pulse IoT has developed a complete data acquisition and connectivity stack that transforms raw electrochemical signals into actionable infrastructure intelligence.

Data Hubs

Wireless IoT data acquisition hubs collect, process, and transmit sensor readings in real time

Cloud Connectivity

Secure cloud transmission enables continuous monitoring from any device without site visits

Analytics Platform

AI-powered analytics layer processes electrochemical data streams to generate corrosion probability scores, service life predictions, and maintenance alerts

Scalable Architecture

The platform supports portfolio-level monitoring — multiple structures, multiple sensors, single dashboard
