Slope and groundwater<\/p>\n

Measure slope movement, tilt and groundwater levels with IoT<\/h1>\n

Ground moves slowly, until it does not. Wireless tilt sensors, in-place inclinometers and groundwater sensors give you a continuous picture, and Sensor-Online warns you when readings cross your limits.<\/p>\n

What the platform does<\/h2>

Early warning from several signals.<\/p>

Thresholds and alarms<\/h3>

Set alarm limits and priorities and get alerts by e-mail, SMS, Telegram, webhook or MQTT.<\/p><\/div>

Rain and movement together<\/h3>

Use the rule engine to combine tilt, water level and rainfall in one rule.<\/p><\/div>

Maps<\/h3>

Place measuring points on a map and see every site at a glance.<\/p><\/div>

History<\/h3>

Keep the full history to compare seasons and events.<\/p><\/div>

Monitoring supports engineering judgement<\/h2>

Data does not replace geotechnical assessment.<\/p>

Sensor-Online shows the data and sends the alerts. Alarm limits and risk assessment remain the work of qualified engineers.<\/p>See Ackcio and Worldsensing monitoring systems \u2192<\/a><\/section>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>
How can I monitor slope stability with IoT?<\/summary>

Place tilt sensors and in-place inclinometers on the slope, add groundwater sensors and weather data, and let Sensor-Online show the trends and send alerts when readings cross your limits.<\/p><\/details>

Which sensors measure groundwater?<\/summary>

Piezometers, including vibrating-wire types, and pressure or level sensors in wells and boreholes.<\/p><\/details>

Can I combine movement and rainfall?<\/summary>

Yes. The rule engine can combine readings from several devices, for example tilt and rainfall, in one rule.<\/p><\/details>

Does it work in remote places?<\/summary>

Yes. LoRaWAN is built for long range and low power, NB-IoT and LTE-M cover sites with cellular coverage, and you can run a private LoRaWAN network on your own gateways.<\/p><\/details>

Do the sensors need cables?<\/summary>

No. Wireless, battery-powered nodes send the readings, so you avoid long cable runs and the risk of damaged cables.<\/p><\/details>

Who sets the alarm limits?<\/summary>

You and your engineers. Sensor-Online shows the data and sends the alerts, while limits and risk assessment remain the work of qualified engineers.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/section>\n
