• D

isplacement measurement accuracy up to 1/100 of a millimetre: the

interferometer technique permits IBIS-S to measure movements with a high

degree of accuracy and precision, never seen before in a remote monitoring

system;

• Quick to install;

• Functioning conditions suitable for long term monitoring :

 Automatic functioning (presence of an operator not necessary while

functioning);

 Can operate night and day;

 Can operate in any weather conditions;

The IBIS-S system is particularly suitable for all applications where it is important to

measure displacements of a structure without the need to have direct access to it , or when

short investigations must be performed quickly.

By performing long range measurements, without the need for direct contact with the

structure to be monitored, IBIS-S permits measurements to be performed even when:

• The area of interest is not accessible;

• The structure is very tall such as a large antenna or a tower;

• The structure is covered by paintings or sculptures and it is not feasible to perform

contact monitoring.

In addition, in emergency situations when monitoring activities are required to guarantee

safety, the possibility if performing remote monitoring may be an essential condition

towards saving lives.
