GPS system for slope measurement

Advantages of GPS measurement:、

• No limit to measurement range
• Easily maintainable as few moving or consumable parts, high durability (more than five years)
• Measurement can be automated easily
• Able to acquire three-dimensional displacement values
• Able to measure 24 hours without being affected by weather

This GPS system designed specifically for slope measurement, System8, has been developed jointly by shamen-net.com and FURUNO ELECTRIC. System8 is optimally designed for slope measurement, is compact, lightweight, low cost, and moreover, is highly durable and maintainable.

System8, while similar to the system for measuring dynamic displacement of slopes and structures, is specifically designed to make managing and protecting communications cables. Costs have been cut drastically by using compact GPS sensors, simplifying installation and relocation by wiring of communications and power connection. Moreover, the system can be made wireless and other monitoring devices can be integrated depending on the site conditions. Another point of distinction of System8 is the ability to use fiber-optic communications.
