Every industry asks different questions – baiond answers them in your words.
All industriesWe build the data journey for your case – let’s talk.
One data layer, seven functions, answers in plain language.
All functionsTwelve sensor families, every variant, and the ones we build for you.
All sensorsA crack sensor measures the width of a crack at regular intervals and shows whether it is still moving, and after which weather. For churches, monuments, bridges and existing buildings, instead of a tell-tale read once a year.
A plaster tell-tale says a crack has moved, but not when, how fast or after which weather. A crack found in April after a frost in February leaves every question open: still moving, or settled?
The crack sensor bridges the crack with two small anchors and measures its width precisely, at regular intervals. It sends wirelessly to the baiond Gateway; the Space System places it on its wall, next to the climate sensors in the room and the weather outside. So you see whether the crack under the west cornice widened by 0.26 mm in the week of the −11 °C nights and closed again, or kept opening. Conservators and structural engineers get the curve instead of a single reading.
Pick the variant that fits the place. Whatever you choose, the readings arrive in the same platform and answer the same questions.
Crack gauge
Measures how wide a crack is, at regular intervals and with fine resolution.
Two anchors on either side of the crack hold a displacement sensor that records every opening and closing. Next to temperature, humidity and frost it separates seasonal breathing from a crack that keeps growing.
Inclinometer
Shows whether a wall, tower or pillar starts to lean.
Fixed to a wall or a pillar, it registers the smallest change in angle. Together with the crack widths it shows whether a movement is local or the whole structure is shifting.
Records shocks from traffic, construction or bells.
It logs the vibrations that reach the fabric, from a building site next door, heavy traffic or the bells. When a crack moves, the log shows whether a shock came first.
Every variant at a glance, with the protocols the readings travel on.
| Variant | Measures | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Crack width sensor | Crack width (mm), change over time | Church walls, vaults, facades, bridges |
| Tilt sensor | Inclination (degrees), change | Towers, retaining walls, pillars |
| Vibration sensor | Vibration, peak events | Monuments near roads or building sites |

A question this sensor answers, the way baiond answers: readings, reasons, a recommendation and the source.
The sensor reports to the baiond Gateway, the Space System puts the reading in context (location, threshold, history), and the AI agent turns it into an answer.

Yes. The crack under the west cornice has widened by 0.26 mm in 7 days to 1.34 mm, the largest weekly change since monitoring began. Movement follows the night frosts down to −11 °C; the crack has not closed again on the milder days, which points to more than seasonal breathing.
Have the cornice section inspected from a lift before the next frost period and check the joint for water ingress. Keep the enhanced alert threshold until the crack has been stable for four weeks.

Understood. I keep watching Palace · West facade, cornice and let you know if anything changes.
Where this sensor carries the answer.
It is fixed with the same small anchors a plaster tell-tale needs, and it sends wirelessly, so no cables run across the wall.
The sensor resolves very small changes in crack width and measures at regular intervals, so even slow movement over weeks becomes visible. The exact resolution depends on the variant.
A crack that opens with frost and closes again is breathing; one that keeps opening is not. baiond shows the curve next to the weather and alerts at the threshold your structural engineer sets.
Yes. The readings can be exported as a report for conservators, engineers and funding bodies.
