SENSORS USED
Our philosophy is simple: the sensing system needs to match the reality of its environment. Given that a point in space has six degrees of freedom (DOF), our solution has been to match this complexity with an integrated combination of sensors that can be deployed to suit each customer’s unique needs.
- 3DOF Inclinometers
- 4DOF Accelerometers
- Inertial modules 6-12 DOF
- 1D, 2D Strain gauges
- 2D-Displacement sensors and Extensometers
- Humidity sensors
- Weather station
- Piezometers, total ground pressure sensors
- FBG and Distributed Fiber Optics
