IDS GeoRadar announces IBIS-FM Evo Long & Short

PISA, (Italy), 10 February 2022 — IDS GeoRadar, part of Hexagon, today announces the expansion of the product family IBIS-FM EVO with two new products: IBIS-FM Evo Long and IBIS-FM Evo Short.

IBIS-FM Evo Short and IBIS-FM Evo Long are designed to cover different applications, offer greater installation flexibility and tailored benefits in monitoring performances. With a maximum scan range of up to 5 kilometres, IBIS-FM EVO products are designed to measure submillimetre displacements in real time with the highest data quality.

IBIS-FM Evo Long, features a long version of the IBIS-FM Evo positioner with a 3.2 m scan length which results in an improved cross-range resolution (2.7 m @ 1km). IBIS-FM Evo Long represents the ideal solution for long range monitoring applications when going the long distance with high performances in terms of spatial resolution is key.

IBIS-FM Evo Short, offers a compact design with a 0.9 m short version of the IBIS-FM Evo positioner, translating into an improved transportability and deployment flexibility. With its 38kg positioner, IBIS-FM Evo Short finds its ideal application in short to medium range slope monitoring where handling movements may be frequent.

“IBIS-FM Evo Long and IBIS-FM Evo Short are born to expand the IBIS-FM Evo family providing monitoring professionals with a perfect solution tailored to their needs.” said Francesco Coppi, Director of Product Management at IDS GeoRadar. “Our goal is to offer the right instruments for safety critical radar monitoring and allow geotechnical engineers to track even faster slope movements, obtaining reliable and high-quality data for geohazard analysis.

Slope monitoring radar is now standard practice for active monitoring of slopes in open pit mines and for safety-critical monitoring of landslides, glaciers or dams. Alerts warn in the event of progressive movements, which could lead to slope failure: safely monitoring 24/7 is essential for the safety of workers and protection of equipment. Early detection can prevent accidents.

IBIS-FM Evo Long and IBIS-FM Evo Short are equipped with a powerful radar sensor, combined with a new free-running acquisition technique (patent pending) for improved quality and reliability of the acquired data. Better data means better-informed decisions.

IBIS-FM Evo Long and IBIS-FM Evo Short are compatible with the Guardian slope monitoring software suite for the processing, interpretation and management of radar data.
