STRAIN SENSING R&D CAPABILITY

Engineering Structural Intelligence from Micro-Deformation

We are not a product company—we are an engineering-driven team specializing in high-precision strain sensing and structural measurement under real-world conditions.

Our core capability lies in transforming microscopic structural deformation into reliable, usable data—across varying environments, materials, and dynamic loads. The technical members   bring decades of deep expertise in both research and practice. Our core capacity lies in developing cutting-edge sensing technologies, precision instruments, and AI-powered data-driven solutions.

The founding leadership team includes   Heng Wei, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE, Professor of Intelligent Transportation Systems and Engineering at the University of Cincinnati (UC); Ding Liu, senior scientist and product development expert in sensing precision instruments and data processing；Jing (Amy) Tong, M.S., former Industry Solution Executive at Siebel and Oracle.

Supported by UC and under the leadership of Dr. Heng Wei, the Weigh2X research team is composed of internationally recognized scholars and experts from UC   and the industrial sector. The team brings strong expertise in precision instrumentation, strain-based mechanics, sensing signal processing, and data fusion analytics for advancing SHM (Structural Health Management) and   transportation management. This unique collaboration integrates theoretical knowledge, product commercialization, and practical applications. Building on patented innovations that embed edge computing and IoT capabilities into precision instruments, the team is developing integrated solutions spanning research, consulting, engineering, and implementation.

While the initial focus was on supporting heavy-duty industries such as construction machinery, mining operations, and waste management, the scope of our team work has expanded to transportation freight and mobility systems – particularly addressing longstanding challenges such as the lack of large-scale roadway health monitoring coverage and chronic infrastructure disrepair, while further advancing intelligent infrastructure and environmental technologies. Current efforts focus on smart truck-mounted mobile sensing systems with specialized capabilities such as real-time cargo weight measurement, pavement damage and road flooding detection, truck safety risk forecasting under varying load conditions, and safety vulnerability assessment for sharp curves, wet roads, and bridges.
