four zones · cultural heritage protected.
A Mexican museum or heritage site has four operational fronts where cultural integrity is made or broken: strict per-gallery T+RH + visitor IAQ, post-seismic structural tilt + heritage integrity, auditable access to collection + storeroom + archives, visitor counting + room comfort + energy savings. AstreaIoT covers all four with the same platform.
strict per-gallery T+RH + visitor IAQ
T+RH probe per gallery with strict range (20-22°C, 45-55% RH for paintings; 18-20°C textiles; 10-15°C critical archives). Multi-parameter IAQ sensor with CO₂ + visible light proxy + TVOC + PIR. Air quality sensor +PM2.5 when procurement lands (procurement check in progress). Immediate alert if parameter out of spec.
structural tilt · post-2017 mandate
structural tilt sensor (direct-import) on main walls + vaults + courtyard walls · continuous post-seismic monitoring for CDMX heritage buildings (2017 mandate). Immediate alert if gradual deformation or seismic event · report for heritage authority + INAH.
auditable access · collection + storeroom + archives
door sensor with timestamp on each access to collection + critical storeroom + historical archive. Immutable log of who/when · audit trail for security incidents. LGPDPPP compliance for museum digital data.
visitor counting + room comfort + savings
optical people counter (no image) at access + critical rooms for traffic analysis. Zonal thermostat per area (galleries vs administration vs visitor) with out-of-hours setback. Monitored backup generator (HVAC critical for collection cannot interrupt).
Out of scope: dedicated UV-spectrum monitoring for Tier-1 conservation grade (Templo Mayor / Antropología — roadmap gap, specialized sensor not in current catalog). Visible-light proxy via air quality sensor is acceptable for mid-tier museums (Soumaya, regional INBA). Also no security cameras or audio in galleries (visitor privacy + collection).
what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Cultural pieces preserved · T+RH always in spec · zero attributable deterioration
- +Heritage buildings post-seismic monitored · CDMX 2017 compliant · documented heritage integrity
- +Collection with audit trail · auditable access · institutional chain-of-custody
- +Visitor comfort + energy savings · zonal HVAC + continuous counting
- +Operational continuity · backup generator · zero HVAC interruptions critical for collection
- ✕Gallery with high overnight humidity · 17th-century painting irreversibly deteriorated
- ✕Undetected post-seismic structural deformation · damage to building + risk to collection
- ✕Unaudited access to storeroom · piece worth millions · robbery investigation without evidence
- ✕Poor IAQ in crowded room · uncomfortable visitor · piece with unmeasured traffic
- ✕CFE blackout + interrupted HVAC overnight · collection with thermal shock
eight use cases · four critical areas.
for the curator + restorer.
Curator + Restorer + Conservation Director. Two cases · gallery with undetected high overnight humidity, rainy season with insufficient HVAC. Absolute conservation.
for the heritage director + structural engineer.
Heritage Director + Structural Engineer + INAH. Two cases · seismic event with deformation to detect, gradual deformation between events without continuous monitoring. Post-2017 heritage integrity.
for the museum director + collection lead.
Museum Director + Collection Lead + Institutional Auditor. Two cases · undocumented access to critical storeroom, historical archive with unauthorized opening. Chain-of-custody + LGPDPPP.
for the administrative director + facility manager.
Administrative Director + Facility Manager + Museum Director. Two cases · crowded room with high unmeasured CO₂, HVAC running in closed galleries outside hours. Comfort + savings.
three compliances · one platform covers all three.
For museum systems (INAH + INBA + state networks), cross-museum dashboard with compliance ranking + conservation metrics + benchmarking. UV-spectrum dedicated monitoring is roadmap addition for Tier-1 conservation clients (Templo Mayor / Antropología grade).
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per museum.
site survey + conservation plan
2-3 daysTechnical visit + inventory of galleries, collection storerooms, archives, visitor rooms, heritage building · conservation plan per collection type (paintings, textiles, archaeological) + structural plan per CDMX 2017 mandate.
physical installation
3-5 daysper-gallery T+RH probes + multi-parameter IAQ sensor + direct-import structural tilt sensor + door sensors + visitor counter + zonal thermostat · gateway with backup · without affecting museum operation (installation outside public hours).
configuration + INAH integration
1-2 weeks (includes Custom Integration L3 with INAH if applicable)Conservation + INAH + INBA + LGPDPPP thresholds · probes calibrated in accredited laboratory · WhatsApp alerts configured + INAH templates · audit trail configured.
team training
1-2 daysCurator + Restorer + Conservation Director + Museum Director + Collection Lead + Facility Manager + Structural Engineer · each role trains on their flow.
30 days of support + first audit
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly INAH + INBA report delivered · first backed collection audit-trail · first baseline structural measurement established.
For museum systems (INAH-complete network or INBA-state network), per-museum deployment with standardized BOM + consolidated structural tilt sensor procurement.
common questions · before the quote.
does the T+RH sensor comply with INAH standards for conservation?
Yes · T+RH probe with ±0.3°C / ±2% RH accuracy calibrated in accredited laboratory. Validity tracked · recalibration every 12 months. For Tier-1 conservation clients (Templo Mayor / Antropología grade) we offer additional improved-accuracy sensors — let's discuss in the quote.
when is the air quality sensor with PM2.5 available for visitors + dust?
Air quality sensor (7-in-1 + PM2.5) is in procurement check · if carry confirmation, immediate deployment. If not, direct-import with 4-8 week lead time. For visible-light proxy + general IAQ, air quality sensor (7-in-1) is already available · deployment today.
what about UV-spectrum monitoring for Tier-1 conservation?
UV-A/UV-B spectrum dedicated monitoring is roadmap addition · specialized sensor not in our current catalog. Visible-light proxy via air quality sensor is acceptable for mid-tier museums (Soumaya-grade, regional INBA). For Tier-1 INAH conservation clients (Templo Mayor, Antropología), we flag UV monitoring as roadmap + offer visible-light proxy sensor today.
does the structural tilt sensor comply with CDMX post-2017 mandate?
Yes · structural tilt sensor direct-import certified for continuous structural monitoring of heritage buildings. Complies with CDMX post-seismic 2017 mandate + INAH heritage building monitoring requirements.
is visitor privacy respected?
Yes · optical people counter with NO image or audio capture. Counts only entries/exits. Environmental sensors (T+RH+CO₂) without recording. Absolute visitor privacy · LFPDPPP compliance.
does it integrate with museum management systems (TMS, Vernon, Mexican systems)?
Yes · via Custom Integration L3. Compatible with TMS (The Museum System), Vernon, common Mexican systems · conservation + structural + collection data feeds the central system · INAH audit from single dashboard.
is pricing per museum or per museum system (INAH/INBA network)?
Flexible model · per-museum subscription with tier per number of galleries + collection + heritage building. For museum systems (INAH network, state INBA network), discount per number of museums + cross-museum dashboard included. Consolidated structural tilt sensor procurement for cross-network.
