Perfect for Ensuring the Integrity of Structures, Sensitive Equipment, and Human Comfort

Soft dB's SGS, Smart Geophone Sensor, is ideal for detecting microearthquakes and measuring vibrations caused by explosives, blasting, hydraulic hammers, etc., often used on construction and mining sites.

Its exceptional signal quality enables detection of vibrations as low as one micrometer per second, with no risk of high-frequency saturation.

This triaxial geophone is perfect for monitoring vibrations near sources of impact, such as a jackhammer close to a wall.

The SGS superior capabilities ensure the integrity of structures, buildings, and infrastructures adjacent to the worksite, protects vibration-sensitive equipment, and maintains the comfort of residents in neighbouring communities of the site.

Simplified Maintenance and Installation

Save time and money.

Our signal acquisition and processing system is integrated directly into the geophone. Therefore, you will only need to send the geophone to the laboratory when calibration and certification is required.

This allows you to avoid having to ship the complete monitoring station (incurring unnecessary costs), as well as having to compensate additional stations in the field, as to not disrupt continuous monitoring.

Our triaxial geophones are also interchangeable with all Soft dB monitoring stations, so you can simply use another geophone in the field during calibration.

What's more, no reconfiguration is required when your vibration sensor returns to the field after annual maintenance, considerably reducing your risk of error. Everything is entirely automated, ensuring continuity in the quality of measured information.

One of the Most Powerful, Customizable, Alert and Reporting Systems Available on the Market

Be informed only when relevant to you.

Our alarm system is flexible in capturing threshold exceedances and can be adjusted based on your specific project criteria.

For example, alarms can be programmed for both peak and RMS speeds, and even for accelerations, as required.

This allows you to be informed only when an action is required on your part.

Automatic Sensor Check

No more questions about data quality. Get consistently reliable measurements.

Every day, each sensor performs an automatic check to ensuring optimal functionality and validity of the data being supplied.

Not only are these results recorded, they can be accessed at any time via our Soft dB Web monitoring platform.

Should a sensor detect a deviation in functionality, an automated alert is sent to you.

Valid, High-Quality, and Interference-Free Data

The vibration data that you receive is exactly what has been measured. No contamination.

Our triaxial geophones incorporate intelligent technology that processes the signal directly within the sensor, considerably reducing the risk of interference, thereby ensuring valid, accurate, and reliable data.

SGS triaxial geophones allow you to measure vibration data with cables of up to 100 meters, with no loss of signal, giving you the flexibility to find the best location for communication and measurement of your most critical points.
