SafeArtIncreasing Safety of Mobile Cultural Heritage
Objectives:
Large scale monitoring of cultural heritage with accurate low cost data loggers + data analysis
to decide IF and HOW to move cultural heritage
To combine costcontainment and increasedsafety
Shock and vibrationsHumidityTemperatureLocalization
Remote MonitoringData storage/data analysis
SAFE-ART: The system
SAFE-ART: The data loggers
ACCURATE andROBUST
- High precision;- Both periodic and event based sampling, high frequency of sampling;- Data loggers communicate via a wireless protocol and are synchronized;- Energy efficient design
- HW/SW design and customization;- Miniaturized data loggers;- Can be placed both on cultural heritage and on the crate- Techniques developed with ISCR to attach the sensor to the artwork in a completely reversible way
FLEXIBILE and CUSTOMIZABLE
- Modular approach: dataloggers can be placed on different critical, particularly fragile points of the artwork
- Position of the transported cultural heritage, as well as a summary of the monitored data are displayed in real-time via Web or through an APP;
- SAFE-ART software platform will allow to store information on the monitored cultural heritage, as well asmeasurements taken during transportation, thus posing the basis for a digital identity card of cultural heritage;
Identification of risks as a first step for risk mitigation: oftenmonitored data allowed to take actions such as changingpackaging design for the return route;
Technology validation: Quantitative evidence of the pros/consof different types of crates, packaging techniques;
Decision Support: Part of a quantitative approach to makedecisions on when and how to transport cultural heritage
Policies: Studies with ISCR aim at setting guidelines to increasesafety of transportation of italian cultural heritage.

Modern technologies in ancient time
Transporting objects in the archaeological site of Pompei
Main activities
• Removal of the pieces from their original position
• Packing
• Monitoring
• Final check
Removal of the pieces from their positions
• Efforts to investigate the conservation status usingdifferent kinds of analysis, such as radiography, CT-Scan, georadar, ultrasound.
Preventive analysis
STONES• Ultrasound investigation
Correct removal
Such analysis provides an idea of the internal structure of the statue, and informs us about the presence of a metal bar. This allows us to decide how to remove and pack it.
Mummies radiographiesprovide us an idea of the conservationconditions of the inside of the object
Packed mummy cat
Packaging and travelling
• Traditional wooden crates provide good results, combined with modern materials used to protect and isolate the objects from the external atmosphere
• Each archeological material requires a specific packing system, such for example as teflon, which is used for painted surfaces on stone
Dumper
Monitoring while travelling
• Many instruments must be used to control record and transmit all data from the crate to our devices
• We can control shocks, acceleration and deceleration, temperature, and the level of humidity.
Possibility of climate fixing during transportation
Is it possible to foresee what an object can tolerate?
• Are there consequences that I cannot see?
• What happened inside the object after shaking or repetitive vibrations?
