Affinity+ Tilt Logger

Monitor structural movement with automated tilt measurements.

RST Instruments logo

Overview

The Affinity+ Tilt Logger provides automated monitoring of structural movement by measuring tilts in three axes. Designed for infrastructure, rail, excavation, and geotechnical monitoring applications, it helps identify changes in structural orientation that may indicate movement, deformation, or developing instability. By continuously measuring tilt relative to an established baseline, the logger provides early visibility into changing site conditions while eliminating many limitations of manual monitoring.

As part of the Affinity+ monitoring ecosystem, the Affinity+ Tilt Logger combines wireless data collection, Bluetooth® configuration, and seamless integration with GEOExplorerIQ™ software to deliver a continuous flow of field measurement data from various sensors to reporting.

 Smarter alternative to manual monitoring

Many infrastructure and excavation projects still rely on manual prism monitoring systems to track structural movement. While effective, these approaches require regular site visits, increasing labor costs and adding delays between data collection and decision-making.

The Affinity+ Tilt Logger automates this process by providing uninterrupted monitoring and near real-time visibility into changing conditions. Whether installed on retaining walls, excavation support systems, buildings, rail infrastructure, or other critical structures, it reliably indicates movement without frequent on-site data collection.

As part of a connected Affinity+ monitoring network, it enables engineers and project teams to view and manage measurement data within one integrated monitoring environment rather than navigating multiple vendors and disconnected applications.

How the Affinity+ Tilt Logger Works

The Affinity+ Tilt Logger continuously measures changes in angle across three axes and communicates data through the Affinity+ monitoring ecosystem.

GEOExplorerIQ™ integrated

The Affinity+ Tilt Logger is more than a standalone monitoring device. As part of the Affinity+ ecosystem, it helps connect field measurements with the software tools used to visualise data, manage hardware, and assess structural behaviour. When deployed alongside Affinity+ Gateways and GEOExplorerIQ™, the logger supports a connected monitoring workflow that gives users access to measurement data through a unified platform. This reduces the need for multiple software systems and vendors while providing a more streamlined approach to infrastructure and geotechnical monitoring.

Built for infrastructure and geotechnical monitoring

The Affinity+ Tilt Logger supports monitoring programs where understanding structural movement is essential for project safety, compliance, and risk management.
