Abstract Concrete curing plays a crucial role in determining its long-term strength and durability. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of CureWise, an automated concrete curing system designed to monitor and regulate moisture levels effectively. Two sets of concrete cubes were prepared using M20 grade concrete, with one set embedded with moisture sensors for real-time monitoring. The cubes were subjected to traditional immersion curing and smart curing using a sensor-based automated system controlled by Node MCU. The smart curing system utilized embedded sensors to track internal moisture variations and automatically adjusted the water supply to maintain optimal hydration. Additionally, the CureWise mobile application provided remote monitoring and real-time alerts, ensuring better control over the curing process. Compressive strength tests were conducted at different curing ages to compare the effectiveness of both methods. The findings demonstrated that smart curing enhanced strength development while significantly reducing water consumption. This study highlights the potential of intelligent curing systems in optimizing construction efficiency and sustainability. By integrating automation and real-time monitoring, the CureWise system offers a more efficient, resource-conscious, and technologically advanced approach to concrete curing, paving the way for smart construction practices.
