SENSOPOD within SHM

Installing a structural health monitoring system can be simpler

A universal IoT data acquisition and transmission unit that connects industrial and structural sensors without a wired power or communication network.

The device

Intelligent energy management, modular interfaces

SENSOPOD brings structural monitoring to a new level with intelligent energy management, modular interfaces and flexible communication.

It works as a simple single-sensor logger or as part of a complex modular system, and runs for up to five years on its replaceable battery, depending on the application.

Key areas

Where SENSOPOD fits best

  • Mixed sensor use

    Analogue 4-20 mA, Modbus, RS485 and GNSS interfaces connect a wide range of measuring devices.

  • Large sites

    Wireless operation where cabling or relocating sensors would be difficult, like industrial parks and construction sites.

  • Structures hard to cable

    A stand-alone alternative for bridges, tunnels and other structures.

  • Reconfigurable use

    Interchangeable interfaces and flexible firmware let one unit serve many projects.

Inside

Robust hardware, secure data

The IP67-rated cast aluminium housing guarantees reliable operation outdoors, in industrial facilities or in the field.

Internal flash memory and an optional microSD card store measurements locally, so no data is lost during a power failure or while offline. Firmware can be updated over the air when the connection allows.

Advantages

Key benefits of SENSOPOD

  • Completely autonomous

    Long-life replaceable lithium battery, optional solar or mains power, up to 5 years of operation.

  • Wide sensor compatibility

    Analogue (4-20 mA, 0-10 V), digital, RS232, RS485 (Modbus), CAN and GNSS sensors.

  • Flexible communication

    NB-IoT, Cat-M, 4G-LTE, LoRa(WAN), Wi-Fi, and satellite on demand.

  • Energy-efficient

    Deep sleep between measurements significantly extends battery life.

  • Compact and robust

    IP67-rated aluminium housing for extreme conditions.

  • Reconfigurable and reusable

    Reuse the same device with different sensors across projects.

  • Local data storage

    Internal flash and optional microSD prevent data loss, even offline.

  • Remote updates

    Over-the-air firmware updates reduce on-site maintenance.

  • Online configuration

    Set sampling intervals, timings and sensor parameters in the SURVIOT interface.

  • API and MQTT integration

    MQTT(S) and HTTP(S) connect it to other systems through the SURVIOT platform.
