The sensors were all designed for self-sufficient power supply and can therefore remain in the field for several years.
Our units currently use LTE or NB-IoT for communication. A LoRaWAN variant is also available for remote areas without network coverage.
Our sensors are delivered in a robust housing that can withstand both the environment and stone chips.
GMD's Rockfall Unit is a self-contained IoT sensor unit consisting of several sensors that was developed to prevent natural hazards such as rockfalls, mudslides and avalanches.
The function of the Rockfall Unit is to record and analyze impacts on the rockfall net. It measures the load from mudslides, snow and tree falls on the rockfall net and at the same time ensures the maintenance of the rockfall protection net. The sensor is also suitable for avalanche nets to measure the snow pressure on the systems. It can also ensure whether further avalanches slide over the avalanche barriers and thus potentially endanger skiers.
GMD´s Seismic Unit is a self-contained IoT sensor unit consisting of several sensors that was developed to prevent natural hazards such as rockfalls.
The function of the seismic unit is to record and analyze rock movements inside the rock and to analyze rock movements at an early stage.
This allows the potential danger of rock falls to be determined very early on and measures to be taken.
The Radar Unit from GMD is a self-sufficient IoT sensor unit consisting of several sensors that is being developed to prevent natural hazards such as floods and blockages.
This unit is currently still in the development phase.
The aim of this unit is to monitor clots on the mountain as well as other dangerous areas such as bridges and narrow passages.
GMD® is a company that specializes in the prevention of natural hazards with self-sufficient, AI-based IoT sensor and radio networks with a machine learning GIS risk analysis platform to make natural events more predictable and offers and advises on customer-optimized climate change adaptation models for municipalities, ski resorts or infrastructure operators.
