SMC Smart Manhole Cover

Patent-Pending Security Solution Transforming Passive Covers into Active Alarm Systems

SMC is an IoT-enabled monitoring solution that transforms ordinary manhole covers into active security systems. Detecting unauthorized opening, movement, and abnormal temperature variations in real-time, SMC transmits instant alerts via NB-IoT to centralized monitoring platforms. With integrated tilt, vibration, and temperature sensors, plus 5-10 year battery life, SMC protects urban infrastructure from theft, displacement, and unauthorized access while enabling rapid municipal and utility response to safety hazards.
