IDS is pioneering a revolutionary technology in the domain of geodetic measurements.

This new technology, based on Radar Interferometry allows the remote monitoring of movements of large areas (landslides, slopes, volcanoes, glaciers etc.) and of structures (dams, bridges, towers, buildings etc.) with sub-millimetre accuracy.

IBIS technology revolutionises the traditional approach to measuring the movements and deformations of territories and structures, both in static (slow displacements) and dynamic vibration measurements). Its innovative features include:

• Remote monitoring: capable of monitoring displacements without any access needed to the scenario investigated and at a distance of up to 4 Km;
• Wide area monitoring: up to several square kilometres can be monitored at once: while other sensors measure the displacement of one selected point at a time, IBIS measures the simultaneous displacement of the entire scenario in real time.
• High accuracy: sub-millimetre measurement accuracy: 1/10 mm in normal situations; up to 1/100 mm in particular conditions.
• Any time, all-weather operation: capable of operating in all conditions: day, night, fog and rain. Autonomous operation: the system can operate permanent or long running monitoring without human intervention. Real- time feed back on displacement allows its use as an early-warning device;
• Dynamic measurement: IBIS not only allows continuous monitoring of slow displacements and deformations but can also measure structure vibrations (resonance frequencies, vibrational modes) up to 100 Hz.
