IoT-Module
FORCESURE
The Forcesure IoT-Module is a low-power, LTE-connected sensing unit designed for remote monitoring of force data. The module has analogue, pulse, and temperature inputs and is directly compatible with the Databolt, enabling real-time data collection and alarm-triggered transmission.
How It Works
The Forcesure IoT Module is a compact, industrial-grade remote sensing unit built for continuous, low-power operation in the field. Designed to work over LTE-M1 and NB-IoT networks (with 2G fallback), this versatile module enables real-time data capture and transmission of Databolt information from isolated or hard-to-reach locations, bringing digital intelligence to physical structures.
Key Features
- Long Battery Life: ~4 years on one D-cell
- Flexible sampling and alarm intervals (60 seconds to 24 hours)
- Real-time clock synced via LTE for coordinated measurement
- Supports JSON and CSV output, multiple transport protocols (MQTT, CoAP, FTP, etc.)
- Easy configuration locally via I2C interface
Connectivity
The Module is integrated with analog input,
it supports LTE-M1, NB-IoT, and has
2G fallback for reliable connectivity.
Sensing Units
The module is integrated with a
barometric pressure sensor, a Pt1000 temperature probe,
and built-in real time clock to deliver accurate
bolt force and environmental data.
Transmission
Customizable data upload intervals (60 sec to 24 hrs)
with alarm-triggered transmissions to keep you informed
only when needed, with up to 4 years of battery life.
Protocols such as CoAP, MQTT, UDP, HTTP-Post, and FTP available.
Ideal for hard-to-reach places
- Construction & Engineering
Monitor structural connections in bridges, overpasses, and buildings for integrity and safety.
- Industrial Machinery
Remotely track bolt tension in critical mechanical systems.
- Aerospace & Automotive
Observe stress and overloads in bolted joints on vehicles, aircraft and prototypes.
- Rail & Infrastructure
Monitor bolted joints’ integrity remotely without the need for manual inspections on hard-to-reach or faraway locations.
Explore the possibilities
The module is equipped with an analogue input (0-10V), a barometric pressure sensor, and a Pt1000 temperature sensor input. The IoT Module is optimised to collect and transmit critical bolt tension data. It’s fully compatible with the Databolt, allowing you to create remote bolt-force monitoring setups without complex integration planning.
This device includes a built-in barometric pressure sensor, an internal antenna, and a robust IP67-rated enclosure. Its ultra-low power design, with a quiescent current of 15μA, enables up to four years of battery life from a single D-cell, making it ideal for long-term unattended data transmission.
With its rugged design and seamless integration, the IoT-Module transforms your bolt monitoring setup into a predictive, always-connected sensing system, without relying on power lines, wireless complexity, or manual inspections.
