# System ## WHAT IS KURLOO? # The Kurloo System Kurloo is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based geomonitoring system that provides earlier insight into how the ground is moving, not just how far it has moved. ![Kurloo Family & Award Black Aus Made](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Kurloo-Family-Award-Black-Aus-Made-1600x750.png)By measuring in 6D, preserving every raw observation, and managing data integrity remotely, Kurloo delivers defensible movement intelligence for high-consequence environments. The Kurloo system brings together three integrated components: 6D Measurement Hardware, Managed Data Integrity Services, and Movement Intelligence Software. ![Kurloo hardware icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-hardware-icon.svg)### 6D Measurement Hardware Continuous capture of displacement, rotation, and environmental conditions for full 6DoF motion measurement. ![Kurloo managed services icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-managed-services-icon.svg)### Managed Data Integrity Services Transforming GNSS and environmental observations into validated, defensible displacement results. ![Kurloo software icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-software-icon.svg)### Movement Intelligence Software Delivering validated monitoring data as clear, actionable movement insights in the Kurloo Nest and mobile app. [ Book a Consultation ](/contact/book-a-consultation/) [ Learn how it works ](/how-kurloo-works/)## Built on GNSS, Designed for Defensible Monitoring Kurloo is built on GNSS technology, a satellite-based positioning system capable of precise, continuous measurement anywhere with a clear view of the sky. GNSS is uniquely suited to large-scale and long-term monitoring applications. ### Why GNSS for Monitoring? ![Satellite icon blue](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Satellite-icon-blue-1600x1402.png)No line-of-sight required ![Rain cloud icon blue](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Rain-cloud-icon-blue-1600x1600.png)Continuous, all-weather operation ![Map icon blue](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Map-icon-blue-1600x1600.png)Scales across large or distributed sites ![Positioning icon blue](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Positioning-icon-blue-1600x1600.png)Direct 3D (XYZ + time) positioning ![Arrows icon blue](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Arrows-icon-blue-1600x1600.png)Integrates with other monitoring tech While GNSS provides a powerful foundation, GNSS alone is not enough. Accurate monitoring over the long term depends on network design, signal quality, baseline control, and rigorous post-processing. Without these controls, defensibility is compromised. Kurloo transforms GNSS from a potentially powerful technology into a reliable monitoring service through expert validation and remote system maintenance.

Each component plays a distinct role in turning validated monitoring data into clear movement intelligence. ![Kurloo hardware icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-hardware-icon.svg)### 6D Measurement Hardware Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement and environmental sensing using Kurloo’s custom-designed devices. Field-deployed GNSS hardware captures precise 3D displacement, rotational behaviour, and environmental conditions at each monitoring point. Together, these measurements enable Kurloo to resolve full position and orientation—providing the 6DoF motion data needed to understand how the ground is actually moving. Kurloo hardware is purpose-built for continuous, long-term monitoring in harsh environments with minimal intervention. - Integrated solar and battery - Rugged enclosure for harsh environments - Environmental sensing - Onboard storage and versatile connectivity [ Explore the hardware ](/system/hardware/) https://vimeo.com/1146830976?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=cihttps://vimeo.com/1146830658?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci ![Kurloo managed services icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-managed-services-icon.svg)### Managed Data Integrity Kurloo centrally manages system performance and data integrity. Raw GNSS data is processed using Kurloo’s specialised algorithm to reduce observation error and anchor results to a stable geodetic reference frame. Geospatial specialists then apply established methods for network design and validation, ensuring confidence in long-term trends and defensible results. - Verification and validation - Network design and quality checks ensure precision [ Learn about our data interpretation ](/system/managed-data-integrity/) ![Kurloo software icon](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/kurloo-software-icon.svg)### Movement Intelligence Software, App & API Kurloo Nest is the cloud platform where processed and interpreted GNSS measurements become clear, usable movement intelligence. It presents continuous 3D displacement vectors and time-series data, trends and alerts in an interface designed so engineers and decision makers can understand what is happening on the ground without needing GNSS expertise. - View trends and movement across sensors - Set custom alert thresholds - Export data for analysis or reporting [ See our insights and reporting capabilities ](/system/movement-intelligence/) https://vimeo.com/1146830073?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci ## See how the Kurloo System works in practice [ Explore how it works ](/how-kurloo-works/) Download our technical datasheet ![Kurloo Logo Lines 1](https://www.kurloogeomonitoring.com/wp-content/uploads/Kurloo-Logo-Lines-1.svg)## Higher-Performing 3D Monitoring with Managed Data Integrity A powerful addition to any serious geomonitoring program, Kurloo delivers validated movement trends in minutes so you can make confident, defensible decisions. ### Earlier Intervention Continuous GNSS monitoring creates a true 3D time series at critical points, including rotational change. This enables earlier recognition of emerging movement trends. - Early trend detection - Greater situational awareness - Proactive intervention ### Geo-Intelligent by Design Kurloo provides globally referenced, vector-based positional data designed for integration into professional geospatial workflows. - Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement (displacement and rotation) for clearer movement interpretation - True 3D displacement - Integrates with InSAR, GIS and aerial data ### A Stronger Monitoring Stack Kurloo strengthens other monitoring technologies by providing a stable source of ground truth that improves interpretation across your entire monitoring ecosystem. By capturing true 3D displacement and resolving orientation, Kurloo helps confirm whether signals from other instruments represent real ground movement.
