The new generation SmartBrick: precision built into every degree
19.01.2026
We proudly present the new generation SmartBrick, an IoT sensor that combines tilt and temperature measurements to deliver the highest accuracy in its class. A product not only designed for intelligent infrastructure, but also built and calibrated with the same precision it measures.
SmartBrick is an advanced IoT sensor specifically developed for accurate and affordable monitoring of civil infrastructure such as quay walls, bridges, foundations, and buildings. The sensor measures tilt and other physical parameters with high precision, transmitting data wirelessly to an online platform for real-time monitoring.
Precision guaranteed
To ensure consistent and reliable performance, every SmartBrick is calibrated in our own temperature calibration chamber, developed and built by our Research & Development team in Rijswijk. Here, 14 SmartBricks are simultaneously exposed to carefully controlled temperature variations ranging from -20°C to +50°C. This intensive six-day process guarantees that each sensor measures the exact inclination value, regardless of ambient temperature. Thanks to this precise calibration, SmartBrick delivers exceptionally stable and reliable measurements for structural health monitoring of bridges, quay walls, and buildings. Our self-developed calibration procedure enables us to meet market demands with full confidence in the consistent performance of every sensor.
