KURLOO SYSTEM COMPONENTS: HARDWARE
Kurloo 6D Measurement Hardware
Hardware designed to capture translational displacement, rotational behaviour, and environmental context at every monitoring point, to distinguish true ground movement from tilt, installation effects, and external influences.
The result is a clearer, more complete, and defensible understanding of how ground and structures behave over time.
Kurloo’s GNSS subsystem measures true three-dimensional movement using geodetic positioning techniques, enabling millimetre-scale monitoring of ground and structural behaviour.
Integrated inertial sensors measure orientation relative to gravity, revealing tilt and rotational behaviour. This distinguishes structural rotation or installation effects from true ground displacement.
Each monitoring point also records local environmental conditions, helping engineers interpret movement responses to rainfall, thermal expansion, and atmospheric loading.
Environmental measurements are synchronised with GNSS observations and delivered alongside displacement results in Kurloo Nest, supporting a more complete and defensible understanding of movement.
Using an offset mounting configuration, Kurloo measures the distance between the device and the ground or water surface, enabling monitoring of fill height, settlement, and surface level changes over time.
Effortless Deployment. Defensible Intelligence.
Kurloo devices install in minutes with no expert technical knowledge required, and operate autonomously, while delivering full 6DoF motion measurement engineers can trust for critical decisions.
Geodetic-Grade by Design
Kurloo GNSS receivers and antennas are recognised by the International GNSS Service (IGS), with calibrated antenna phase centre offsets published in ANTEX files. This alignment with global geodetic standards reduces systematic positioning error and distinguishes Kurloo from generic IoT GNSS devices.
Kurloo monitoring networks are typically designed with baselines under ~2 km to support sub-5 mm displacement precision under suitable conditions. In optimised layouts this enables approximately ~2 mm horizontal and ~3 mm vertical precision, depending on network geometry and processing.
Engineered for Autonomous Field Operation
Kurloo devices are designed to operate reliably for long periods in exposed and remote environments.
Rugged, Weather-Sealed Design
IP67-rated enclosure engineered for exposed environments.
Operates from -20 °C to +60 °C with tolerance for dust, humidity, and harsh field conditions.
Autonomous Solar Power
Integrated 1.5 W solar panel and 46 Wh LiFePO₄ battery designed for continuous outdoor operation.
Typically supports 4 weeks without solar input under standard configurations.
Expandable Power Capacity
Optional external “Wing” packs increase battery capacity up to ~5× and solar input up to ~6× — supporting low-light sites or higher-frequency monitoring.
Wing health metrics are monitored remotely.
Operational Continuity
Flexible Connectivity
LTE-M with global band support and dual SIM capability.
Optional 4G and Wi-Fi HaLow™ modules enable deployment across remote, industrial, and distributed sites. Satellite backhaul (e.g., Starlink) supported via gateway.
Local Data Buffering
32 GB onboard storage buffers GNSS and environmental data during communications interruptions, automatically uploading when connectivity is restored.
Remote Health Monitoring
Continuous tracking of battery state, solar performance, communications quality, and device status enables proactive intervention before sustained data loss occurs.
Simple, Guided Installation
Kurloo devices mount using a standard 5/8” thread and dedicated brackets, enabling installation on poles, monuments, and structures.
The Kurloo App guides installation step-by-step — capturing photos, location data, and configuration details to ensure consistent setup. The app functions offline, allowing deployment in remote locations without 4G or 5G coverage. Installation data syncs automatically once connectivity is available.
No GNSS expertise is required during installation.
Once deployed, devices operate autonomously under scheduled observation sessions. Data is stored locally, uploaded when connectivity is available, and processed through Kurloo’s cloud-based PPK workflow.
Remote diagnostics monitor power, communications, and device health — reducing unnecessary site visits.
Designed for Long-Term Use
Kurloo hardware is designed as a reusable asset within a managed monitoring service.
Devices can be redeployed across projects as monitoring needs change, reducing hardware waste and improving return on investment.
Benefits include:
redeployable monitoring hardware
repair and replacement pathways
reduced reliance on manual survey programs
reduced exposure of field personnel to hazardous environments
