Sensors we deploy for continuous infrastructure monitoring
infrascan deploys a focused set of engineering-grade sensors to measure how infrastructure actually behaves - not just how it looks.
We select sensors based on dominant failure mechanisms such as settlement, lateral movement, vibration, cracking, or environmental effects. All data streams are unified into a single monitoring layer with trends, thresholds, alerts, and engineering-ready reporting. Every sensor is selected to answer a specific engineering question.
What We Measure
infrascan focuses on physical and environmental parameters that indicate risk development - not just visible damage.
Sensor Types We Use
Each sensor family targets a specific failure mode and provides early, quantifiable signals long before critical damage occurs.
GNSS Displacement Sensors
Detect slow or progressive movement with millimeter-level accuracy in 3D.
Typical use: buildings, slopes, retaining walls, pipeline corridors, industrial sites.
Tilt & Inclination Sensors
Measure rotation, loss of verticality, and differential settlement caused by structural or ground deformation.
Typical use: columns, walls, foundations, towers, tanks, industrial frames.
Crack Monitoring Sensors
Track crack opening and closing over time to distinguish active structural deformation from stable defects.
Typical use: concrete and masonry buildings, retaining structures, industrial slabs and walls.
Vibration Sensors
Capture dynamic response, operational loads, fatigue effects, and abnormal vibration events.
Typical use: industrial facilities, machinery foundations, bridges, hangars, slabs, pipelines.
Environmental Sensors
Measure temperature and humidity to separate structural behavior from environmental influence and material effects.
Typical use: buildings, warehouses, hangars, industrial sites.
Gas & Air Quality Sensors
Detect hazardous gases and airborne contaminants to identify safety risks and abnormal operational conditions.
Typical use: industrial facilities, hangars, enclosed spaces, pipeline infrastructure, utility areas.
How We Select Sensors
Sensor selection is driven by engineering logic — not by hardware availability.
Settlement, slope creep, vibration fatigue, thermal deformation, cracking.
Required accuracy, sampling rate, long-term stability.
Sensor placement, reference points, redundancy, environmental protection.
This approach ensures that every deployed sensor produces data that is actionable, interpretable, and relevant.
From Sensors to Decisions
All sensors are connected to a unified monitoring platform. Data is processed into clear engineering indicators instead of raw numbers.
The goal is not data collection — the goal is early decision-making.
Sensor Connectivity Options
All monitoring sensors can be supplied with different communication and connectivity options, depending on site conditions, power availability, and infrastructure requirements.
The sensor type (tilt, crack, GNSS, vibration, environmental) remains the same — only the data transmission method changes.
Below are the available connectivity technologies used to deliver sensor data to the monitoring platform, dashboards, and alerting systems.
The appropriate option is selected based on distance, power constraints, network availability, and the criticality of the monitored asset.
LoRaWAN Monitoring Sensors
LoRaWAN monitoring sensors are designed for long-range, low-power data transmission in distributed infrastructure monitoring projects.
Optimized for installations where power and connectivity are limited, these devices reliably send structural, geotechnical, and environmental measurements over several kilometers using a single gateway.

Key advantages:
Cellular Monitoring Sensors (NB-IoT / LTE-M)
Cellular monitoring sensors use NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies to provide direct-to-cloud connectivity via mobile operator networks.
These sensors are designed for locations where installing local gateways is impractical, but reliable cellular coverage is available, such as urban and semi-urban infrastructure.
NB-IoT and LTE-M offer excellent signal penetration and stable communication, making them suitable for critical assets and underground installations.
Typical applications:
Key advantages:
Wired Monitoring Sensors (RS-485 / Modbus)
Wired monitoring sensors provide reliable and interference-free data transmission using industrial communication protocols such as RS-485 and Modbus.
These sensors are designed for permanent installations where power and cabling infrastructure are available, offering maximum stability and continuous data acquisition.
Wired connectivity is often preferred for critical assets and environments with high electromagnetic interference or strict reliability requirements.
Typical applications:
Key advantages:
Short-Range Wireless Sensors (Zigbee / BLE)
Short-range wireless sensors use Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies for local, low-power communication between nearby devices.
These sensors are typically deployed within buildings or compact industrial sites, where multiple devices form a local network connected to a central gateway.
Zigbee mesh networking allows sensors to relay data through neighboring nodes, while BLE is often used for temporary measurements and local diagnostics.
