Platform · Sensors and acquisition

Sensors for structural monitoring. Every technology, one platform.

Vibrating wire, MEMS, inductive, piezoelectric or electrical resistance — Inclify accepts data from more than 40 sensor types and from data loggers already in place. We match the measurement technology to the structure, not the other way round.

Measurement technologies

The right sensor for the right job

There is no single technology that is good for everything. There is, however, a platform that understands each of them.

Vibrating wire (VW)
Highest long-term accuracy

The standard for static measurements: 20+ years of stability and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Strain gauges, piezometers, crack meters.

MEMS
Accelerations and vibration

A high sampling rate for dynamic measurements: vibration, accelerations, tilt. The basis for FFT analysis of signals from the structure.

Inductive
Non-contact displacement

Displacement measured without physical contact with the element — where mounting on the structure is impossible or inadvisable.

Piezoelectric
Dynamic measurements

Fast-changing phenomena: impacts, vehicle crossings, machinery in operation. Full signal waveforms recorded for further spectral analysis.

Electrical resistance
Economical at scale

A proven, affordable technology where a dense grid of measurement points matters more than decades of stability.

Measured quantities
The full SHM spectrum

Strain µε, deflection mm, tilt mrad, stress, pore pressure kPa, temperature °C.

Acquisition

Four routes for data into the platform

A new installation or a site with loggers installed years ago — the data ends up in the same, consistent measurement model.

REST API

Direct feed from hubs and loggers in near real time. The standard route for new installations.

HTTPS · JSON

CSV / XLSX import

Upload of measurement files, including historical ones. A site's history held in spreadsheets becomes part of continuous monitoring.

CSV · XLSX

FTP

Automatic pickup of files dropped onto a server by loggers — with no change to the hardware configuration in the field.

FTP · recurring files

Existing data loggers

We connect loggers already working on site. The investment in measurement hardware stays — what changes is what happens to the data.

logger integration
Data model

Three classes of data, one order of time

Static and dynamic data need different treatment — the platform tells them apart from the moment a measurement is accepted.

Static data

Recurring readings every 15 min by default, or more often: strain, tilt, pore pressure, temperature. The basis for long-term trends and safety thresholds.

µε · mrad · kPa · °C

Events (trigger)

Recording triggered by a threshold being exceeded on the device: an impact, a crossing, a shock. The event reaches the platform with its full time context.

trigger threshold · timestamp

Full waveforms

Raw vibration signals from accelerometers, analysed automatically by FFT: RMS, peak values, frequency spectrum.

Time zones
Device time validation

Loggers report in different time zones and time formats. The platform normalises the timestamps so that charts from several devices refer to the same moment.

Clock drift
Detecting clocks going out of sync

A logger clock that slowly runs away can falsify correlations between channels. Inclify detects the drift and flags it before it spoils the analysis.

Communication log

Every frame recorded

When a reading looks odd, the first question is whether it is the structure or the transmission. The answer is in the archive — every recognised exchange with a logger lands in the database exactly as it arrived.

  • The raw frame preserved in full — viewable in the panel and downloadable for your own analysis
  • Stored compressed with gzip and a SHA-256 checksum: you can see the content has not changed since it was accepted
  • Each frame carries the range of measurements it produced — you immediately know exactly what it brought in
  • Retention driven by configuration, 7 days by default — a diagnostic archive, not a second measurement database

Device clock under control

The platform checks the time reported by the logger and flags drift before it pulls apart the correlations between channels.

clock validation · drift detection

One identifier, one device

A duplicated logger identifier is rejected. Two devices claiming the same channel will not mix their data inside a project.

uniqueness check · submission rejected

Operation audit log

Who changed what and when, from which IP address and by which method, the value before and after, whether the operation succeeded, plus a summary of the changes. With filtering and export.

IP · method · old and new values

Project journal

Entries with the date of the event, a title, a description, a category and a severity. You match a step on a chart with recorded work on site instead of reconstructing it from memory.

Already have sensors on site?

We will check whether they can be connected to Inclify — 15 years of the team's work in structural monitoring, from stadiums to navigation locks, has taught us how to talk to any logger.
