WIRELESS MONITORING SYSTEM
IoT sensors for structural monitoring
Move Solutions sensor systems are used for structural monitoring, both in static and dynamic conditions, of all civil engineering applications.
The systems allow remote monitoring of an unlimited number of structures such as motorway overpasses, bridges, buildings, subways and dams.
Dynamic Sensor
Move Solutions Dynamic Displacement Sensor (DDS) is a wireless device designed to remotely monitor structural dynamic displacement and frequencies that occur when infrastructures are subjected to dynamic forces such as strong winds, machinery operation, heavy traffic or earthquakes. The device can be set up and managed remotely via Move Solutions IoT Platform.
​
The Dynamic Displacement Sensor is a wireless device that remotely monitors the dynamic displacement and the frequencies of infrastructures.
​
The dynamic displacement measures the quick displacement of a structure due to dynamic forces, during events such as strong winds, machinery operation, heavy traffic or earthquakes, and it is typically represented as a distance in millimeters (mm). The frequencies measure the rate at which a structure vibrates or oscillates when subjected to dynamic forces, and they are expressed in Hertz (Hz).
​
The data collected is visible via Move Solutions IoT Platform, where each sensor can also be configured, allowing users to remotely set and change specific thresholds according to their needs. When the amplitude surpasses this threshold, the sensor records and transmits vital information, covering the 10 seconds leading up to the event and 20 seconds thereafter. This comprehensive dataset is essential for in-depth analysis.

Wireless Tilt Beam
Move Solutions Tilt Beam consists of a wireless and battery-powered tiltmeter attached to a bar, which is then affixed to the structure to measure the degree of slope or tilt over a large area. The device can be set up and managed remotely via Move Solutions IoT Platform.
​
The Tilt Beam device consists of a triaxial tilt monitoring sensor installed in the center of a steel tubular support. This stand can be 1, 2 or 3 meters long. Typically they are installed in series so that the end of one bar coincides with the start of the next until the required distance is covered. The differential movements of the structure cause a different rotation of the bars and this shows the differential movements or settlements of the structure to be monitored. Installation is quick and easy without the use of cables.
The three-axis wireless Tiltmeter sensor that detects data is extremely accurate and exceptionally stable. Variable and remotely configurable sampling rates, a rugged design and a battery life of up to 8 years make this wireless Tiltmeter suitable for many environments and solutions.
