This solution is aligned with feature 21 “Digitisation of museums and cultural/heritage spaces” of the Smart Tourism Destinations Platform.

The management of Cultural Heritage, an extremely valuable asset and a catalyst for tourism and economic activity. The Smart Patrimonio technological solution aims to transform the current management model focused on the corrective restoration of assets towards more efficient and sustainable preventive conservation. A solution aimed at preserving both historical places and the assets they house: sculptures, paintings and furniture.

Smart Patrimonio is made up of a network of wireless sensors that record and transmit to a central server the values of environmental, structural and access-security parameters, all of which are decisive in the conservation of immovable historical heritage. The sensors monitor values such as temperature, humidity, light, vibrations, access, etc., and are analysed in real time and continuously by conservators. Through environmental and structural monitoring, the solution makes it possible to analyse the behaviour of the property and anticipate decision-making about its conservation.

The system’s main advantages revolve around the ability to carry out preventive conservation of real estate. This makes it possible to reduce costs, make investment in restoration profitable, improve the image of the property or element, and establish an environmental and social commitment for the enjoyment of heritage.

It also includes improvements related to energy efficiency and security against looting or degradation, fires and floods.
