01What is being requested

This concerns a market consultation in preparation for a procurement for monitoring the conservation conditions of collections in non-accessible areas. The focus lies on finding sensors and methods for monitoring, among other things, shocks, vibrations, fungi, insects/pests and pollution in an automated storage environment with a low oxygen content (13%).

02Strategic insight

Strategic insight · AI analysis
When responding, focus on the technological possibilities for monitoring in an environment with low oxygen content and robotics. For the proposed methods, provide a detailed explanation regarding the required equipment, the collected data and the human intervention that is necessary. If applicable, provide insight into the combination of different variables and data integration. Provide an indication of the cost structure, both in the case of ownership by the KB and as a monthly amount.
Read automatically from the tender documents using AI. Always verify against the original documents.

03Points of attention

Important · 5
Monitoring takes place in a non-accessible repository where humans are not permitted to be present due to the lack of oxygen and the presence of robotics.Important
The KB is specifically interested in sensors that can monitor in real-time or that do not require too much time for data processing.Important
Solutions are sought for shock and vibration where acceleration can be measured in three independent directions (X, Y, Z).Important
The KB is open to both integrated solutions and modular approaches.Important
Responses to the questionnaire must be submitted in Word format via the messaging section of TenderNed.Important
