The Omnidots SWARM is a revolution in vibration monitoring!
Geomotion is pleased to offer the revolutionary Swarm vibration monitors from Omnidots. Omnidots is the primary supplier of innovative and efficient sensor systems for environmental monitoring in the construction and infrastructure sectors. Together we offer a fully integrated and automated solution for the direct measurement, monitoring, and reporting of vibrations in the construction and infrastructure sectors.
The Swarm is a compact, budget friendly and easy to install device. On-site attendance by Geomotion is not required eliminating the need for additional staff on site thanks to the auto levelling axis adjustments. The Swarm can be installed either directly to the structure or on top of a portable ground plate.
To turn on, simply connect to mains power or to the portable battery and enjoy up to 6 weeks of continuous monitoring. In areas of no network coverage the unit can be powered over ethernet. Geomotion is delighted to offer 50W solar kits to charge the battery in remote conditions, allowing uninterrupted monitoring.
The device is locatable by GPS and transmits data over the Vodafone 4G network. Alarms and alerts can be set and pushed instantly for when a peak velocity event is experienced, otherwise in normal operation, data is sent every 1 hour. All data is viewable through our Omnidots’ Honeycomb Platform.
The device is offered in a standard set on an annual subscription basis with the first year included in the initial purchase price. Components can be added or subtracted based on your exact vibration monitoring requirements. For example, you can purchase the sensor only, add an additional battery or other customised equipment provided by Geomotion.
Measured in accordance with Australian Guidelines and combined with Honeycomb platform software Omnidots Swarm is the premier vibration monitoring solution available today.

Who It’s For
Omnidots’ vibration monitoring solutions are designed specifically for use in the construction industry and long term Asset Monitoring. The system is ideal for both small and large projects and where environmental monitoring is required.
To accurately monitor the impact of vibrations, all the buildings surrounding a vibration source should be monitored. However, there is rarely room in the budget for monitoring all the adjacent buildings with costly traditional equipment. Until now.
Using the Omnidots vibration monitoring solutions, your budget will allow for large-scale measurements. Installing multiple SWARM vibration monitors surrounding construction sites, allows entire projects to be monitored. This will yield the most accurate and detailed insights into the effects of a vibration source over an entire project site.
