Advancing digitalization is reaching the realm of lightweight construction and structural–mechanical components. Through the synergistic combination of distributed sensors and intelligent evaluation algorithms, traditional structures evolve into smart sensing systems. In this context, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a key role in managing potential risks to human safety and environmental integrity due to structural failures by providing analysis, localization, and records of the structure’s loading and damaging conditions. The establishment of networks between sensors and data-processing units via Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is an elementary prerequisite for the integration of SHM into smart sensing systems. However, this integrating of SHM faces significant restrictions due to scalability challenges of smart sensing systems and IoT-specific issues, including communication security and interoperability. To address the issue, this paper presents a comprehensive methodological framework aimed at facilitating the scalable integration of objects ranging from components via systems to clusters into SHM systems. Furthermore, we detail a prototypical implementation of the conceptually developed framework, demonstrating a structural component and its corresponding Digital Twin. Here, real-time capable deformation and strain-based monitoring of the structure are achieved, showcasing the practical applicability of the proposed framework.
