Lafcarr sensors and peripherals for monitoring and early warning in critical infrastructure

Sensors and peripherals for monitoring and early warning

Seven product families integrated with iDam and COMSIR: hydraulic, chemical, meteorological and structural variables to anticipate risks, automate alarms and make decisions with 24/7 traceability.

7 families Chlorine · Weather · Level · Flow · Structural · Cameras · Telemetry
Turnkey Civil works, instrumentation, power and communications included
IP65 / IP66 Protection for industrial outdoor and harsh environments
iDam · COMSIR Direct integration with our own platform, no adapters

We offer a complete range of sensors for any scenario: from permanent installations at dams or industrial sites to one-off mobile deployments or drills.
