# 2023 Smart Geopipe© |
|
Smart Geopipe© offers real-time ground monitoring solutions for slope and infrastructure construction using cutting-edge optical fibre technology. The product detects ground movements continuously, featuring cloud-based data visualisation, 24-hour notifications, multi-point sensing, and unlimited borehole length monitoring. The ecosystem includes the Geopipe sensor, a web application, and the user. Data is relayed to the cloud for processing, storage, and visualisation, with users alerted to any anomalies.
