Core Components

Hardware Components

Handles up to 16 channels of analog (±10 V, 4–20 mA), strain/gauge inputs, with built-in excitation and low-noise filtering—ideal for LVDTs, strain gauges, and displacement sensors.

Connects sensors to edge processing via Ethernet and serial ports; deployable in field enclosures, with DIN-rail compatibility and surge protection.

Transmits acquisition data wirelessly (LoRa or cellular), enabling remote deployment in bridges, tunnels, and industrial sites without heavy wiring.

Attach to DAQ units for asset management, calibration traceability, and deployment logging—especially useful in rotating installations or shared equipment pools.

Software Suite

Located inside the DAQ module, this software handles signal conditioning, local data logging, event triggers, and preprocessing before forwarding.

Provides intuitive configuration, live graphing, multi-unit synchronization, and calibration routines; ideal for field engineers during setup.

Web-based interface for remote visualization, historical data review, custom alerts, and report generation—accessible anywhere via mobile or desktop.

Cloud & Integration

Securely uploads processed data to GAO cloud services or customer’s SCADA/IoT platforms; supports REST and MQTT protocols.

Automatically notifies stakeholders via email/SMS when predefined displacement thresholds are exceeded; weekly/monthly summaries and data exports (CSV, XML, JSON) are included.

Compatible with enterprise systems like AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, and various SCADA/BMS platforms, enabling easy incorporation into existing monitoring networks.

Case Studies

1. U.S. – Bridge Joint Monitoring, Ohio

A state DOT deployed our multi-channel DAQ units with LVDT and strain sensors to monitor seasonal joint movement. Integrated threshold alerts helped engineers respond promptly to deviations, enhancing safety and reducing inspection costs.

2. U.S. – Industrial Press Positioning, Illinois

A manufacturing plant automated its hydraulic press verification using DAQ units. With high-speed acquisition and event capture, quality control failures dropped 40% while cycle efficiency improved significantly.

3. Canada – Lab Load Testing, Alberta

An engineering testing firm installed our DAQ system in its materials lab. The device supported synchronized measurement of displacement and load, enabling advanced stress–strain analysis and reducing test cycle time by 25%.
