An inclinometer is a sensor that measures the angle or deformation of a structure about gravity, providing readings in either percentage or degrees. Inclinometer sensors are essential for measuring slope gradients in activities such as tunnel monitoring, bridge monitoring, slope monitoring, structural monitoring and other geotechnical monitoring that impact the stability of the supporting ground.
We deal with two different types of inclinometers which are as follows:
Inclino-Robot, a new generation of Inclinometer, co-developed by GeoSitter, seamlessly replaces traditional IPI and SAA systems, employing the same measurement principles as IPI. It boasts an impressive accuracy of 0.25mm/m, ideal for continuous engineering monitoring of slopes and deep excavations, ensuring project safety and stability. Data can be exported and integrated into customer-specified platforms in a short time. The Inclino-Robot has proven its reliability across hundreds of successful projects.
The OG-ZL01 Flexible Inclinometer is a robust monitoring solution, using MEMS acceleration technology for precise measurements in extreme conditions (-40°C to 60°C, up to 200m underwater). It features customizable lengths, real-time deformation playback, and high resistance to magnetic and electrical interference. Accuracy is ensured with ±0.002° angular and ±0.05mm per 500mm displacement measurements. It includes temperature compensation for stable data acquisition and supports offset and torsional corrections post-installation. Its segmented design allows flexible on-site assembly, ideal for deep horizontal displacement monitoring in hydraulic structures, slope stability assessments, settlement monitoring in subgrades and rock-fill dams, and convergence monitoring in tunnels and underground constructions.
While we offer two types of inclinometers, we strongly recommend the Inclino-Robot for its superior innovation and performance in specific monitoring environments and customers’ needs. As for the reasons, you can read the detailed comparisons between these two inclinometers below.

The Inclino-Robot offers a cost-effective solution for inclinometer monitoring. With only one probe required, it mimics manual measurement methods and is available in four price ranges: 30, 45, 60, and 100 meters. In contrast, Flexible Inclinometers increase in cost with each additional meter of depth, making them more expensive for deeper inclinometer tubes. As the depth increases, the cost of Flexible Inclinometers rises significantly, whereas the Inclino-Robot maintains a straightforward and predictable pricing structure.
The Inclino-Robot is designed for ease of reuse and comprises only three components connected by a steel wire, making installation and removal simple. It can be easily reused across multiple projects, offering superior longevity and value. So far, many of our customers have reused the Inclino-Robot for three or four projects. Flexible inclinometers, however, must be inserted into the inclinometer tube and secured, which can lead to misalignment if external factors disturb the sensors. Removing flexible inclinometers often requires a crane, especially if they become stuck or the tube deforms. This complexity discourages reuse; many customers discard flexible inclinometers after one use due to the hassle. The flexible inclinometer may need to be returned to the factory for customization if it is to be reused because the depth of each inclinometer tube is inconsistent.
The simple structure of the Inclino-Robot makes it easy to store and transport. Flexible inclinometers, however, occupy considerable space as each meter requires an additional segment, leading to storage challenges. Now there is a common situation: many factories and dealers say that their warehouses are cluttered with flexible inclinometers, some of which are broken or seldom used, causing headaches for inventory management.
High-precision instruments like inclinometers often require calibration by third-party testing agencies. For the Inclino-Robot, only one calibration is needed for the entire system. In contrast, flexible inclinometers require calibration for each segment, significantly increasing costs. This difference makes the Inclino-Robot a more economical choice, especially for projects requiring frequent calibration.
Customers can use the Inclino-Robot to monitor for a test period, then remove it for manual monitoring so that they are allowed to compare the date between Inclino-Robot monitoring and manual monitoring. At last, they can reinsert it for continued monitoring.
So Inclino-Robot, a type of sliding inclinometer that mimics manual methods can have minimal impact on data accuracy. Conversely, once installed, Flexible Inclinometers cannot be moved without disrupting the data. If data from a borehole needs to be verified, flexible inclinometers offer no means for manual re-monitoring.
In addition to geotechnical instruments, we also provide a construction monitoring data platform. After years of dedicated research, our team, including engineers with over 10 years of practical experience in fields such as geotechnical instruments, water conservancy, transportation, surveying, and the Internet of Things, has developed a cloud platform tailored for engineering automation monitoring through mature Internet technologies. This platform serves as a data management platform for various monitoring projects and can be quickly customized through secondary development to meet the personalized needs of monitoring companies.
