Senceive

Senceive wireless remote condition monitoring technology is used in 40 countries, primarily in mining, construction and infrastructure applications. Our precise, reliable and robust products are built to empower clients who are responsible for high value and safety-critical assets. Senceive users installed more than 30,000 sensors in the last year – helping them manage ground and structural movement, landslide risk, geotechnical behavior, railroad track geometry, and much more. A wide range of parameters can be measured including: Sudden and incremental ground movement Environmental conditions including wind speed/direction, rainfall, temperature Engineering parameters including strain, crack movement, deformation Geotechnical conditions including automated logging of in-place inclinometers and piezometers in both horizontal and vertical borehole orientations. All of this is achieved using wireless sensors that can be installed in minutes and last more than a decade with minimal maintenance. Safer Slopes Our award-winning InfraGuard™ responsive monitoring solution provides early warning of slope failure and can be used anywhere that slope stability is an issue, including open pit walls, dams and railroads. This intelligent system combines smart tilt sensors which trigger all-light cameras to send multi-level alerts in the event of sudden ground movement. The system compares favorably to alternatives such as geodetic survey, InSAR and ground radar in terms of cost, flexibility and reliability. Unrelenting Invention Built on a 20 year track record, you can trust Senceive remote condition monitoring technology to help mitigate engineering and geotechnical risk. We pioneered the technology and we’ve never stopped improving it. Recent innovations include a Sat Comms platform enabling near real-time data updates even beyond the range of the cellular comms network. Our new Digital Interface Node enables you users to integrate a wide range of third-party environmental, structural and geotechnical sensors into a wireless monitoring system – bringing the benefits of automated logging and continuous data acquisition. Our software platforms offer unprecedented levels of flexibility, allowing users to benefit from cloud storage or retention within a secure environment, if preferred. Export monitoring data to database or visualization platforms of your choice through FTP and API protocols, if needed. Protecting People and Infrastructure You can expect reliable monitoring from systems that respond to changes on site and keep your teams informed through near real-time alerts, including breaches of movement thresholds levels and images from site cameras. Our wireless monitoring solutions make mine operations safer and more efficient, putting critical data at your fingertips and keeping your whole team informed of changing conditions on site. | Senceive wireless remote monitoring technology helps you protect people and infrastructure. Need to monitor the impact of adjacent construction or undertrack crossing works on track, gantries or structures? Our sensors are easily installed in minutes and provide continuous data and automated alerts. Or look at wireless monitoring options the next time you need long-term condition data to detect changes in track geometry, as well as sudden events such as landslides, rockfall and embankment failures. Proven over 20 years use in challenging rail applications, the low-maintenance, ultra long-life sensing technology provides automated near real-time alerts of movement, while integrated cameras show you the cause of movement without visiting site. A range of precise triaxial tilt sensors provide data on track geometry parameters including cross-level, twist, lateral shift and settlement. Complementary sensors provide data on track temperature, strain, displacement, and geotechnical parameters such as soil moisture and ground pore water pressure. Remote monitoring technology puts critical data at your fingertips providing asset visualization without mobilization – that’s why more than 50,000 Senceive railroad sensors are in use today.
