BWSENSING Dual Axis Wireless NB-Iot Inclinometer (NB-WS2000)

Most things worth watching for tilt are in places where nobody wants to run a cable or visit every week: a slope above a road, a foundation on a remote site, a bridge pier over water. The BWSENSING Dual Axis Wireless NB-Iot Inclinometer (NB-WS2000) is built for those places. It measures tilt on two axes, charges from the sun and sends its readings over a cellular network to a monitoring cloud, so the people who need the data can read it from wherever they are.

Background

The company behind the NB-WS2000

BWSENSING is the brand of Bewis Sensing Technology LLC, an innovative, fast-growing company established in 2010. Its range centers on inclination and tilt measurement, and the store lists a number of its dual-axis and single-axis inclinometers alongside this wireless model in the BWSensing brand section.

The sources name three further versions in the same wireless family: NB-WM410, NB-WK100 and NB-WL300. They are mentioned here only so that you know the family exists; the figures in this article belong to the NB-WS2000 alone, and we do not give it any figure from a sibling.

Where the NB-WS2000 sits in a monitoring setup

An inclinometer uses gravity as its reference to measure how far a surface has rotated away from where it started. In geotechnical and structural work this is one of the most direct ways of seeing slow movement: a retaining wall leaning, an embankment creeping, a building settling on one side. The NB-WS2000 is the wireless, dual-axis form of that instrument. It reads tilt in two directions, and it sends the result over NB-IoT, with 2G-GSM also listed as a network option.

Two features define it in practice. The first is solar charging, which removes the need for a mains connection at the measuring point. The second is the Customizable Monitoring Cloud System, the platform that receives the readings. Together they turn a single sensor into a remote monitoring point that can be left in the field and watched from an office. You can find related products in our Sensors category.

What makes the NB-WS2000 different from a wired inclinometer?

A wired inclinometer needs two things at the measuring point: power and a path for the data. On a hillside, a remote embankment or an old structure, supplying either can cost more than the sensor itself. The NB-WS2000 removes both requirements. Solar charging covers the power, and the NB-IoT and 2G-GSM networks cover the data path. The practical result is that you can place the sensor where the movement is, not where the infrastructure happens to be.

That does not make wired models obsolete. If your site already has power and cabling, a wired dual-axis unit may be the simpler choice, and you can compare options such as the BWSENSING Cost-Effective Dual-Axis Inclinometer (BWM427) or the BWM426. The wireless model earns its place where cables are not practical and where the monitoring has to run for long periods without a site visit.

What do the accuracy and resolution figures mean for a project?

The NB-WS2000 is listed with an accuracy of 0.001° and a resolution of 0.0007°. Resolution is the smallest change the sensor can show; accuracy describes how close the reading is to the true angle. For slow-moving structures, both matter, because the question is rarely how tilted something is today but how much it has changed since last month. A fine resolution lets a trend become visible early, while the movement is still small enough to act on calmly.

Readings are collected by the Customizable Monitoring Cloud System, which is where trending and review take place, and the platform can be tailored to the project. The maximum transmission distance is listed as no limit, which fits a network-based design: the sensor reports to the network, not to a receiver within range.

Who is the NB-WS2000 for?

The first group is geotechnical and civil engineers who monitor slopes, cuttings, embankments and retaining walls and need data from sites that are hard to reach. For them, a solar-charged unit on a cellular network replaces repeated manual surveys.

The second group is owners and operators of structures: bridges, buildings, foundations and similar assets where gradual rotation or settlement is a maintenance concern. A dual-axis sensor shows the direction of the movement as well as its size.

The third group is integrators and monitoring service companies who build remote systems for clients and want a sensor that comes with a customizable cloud platform. If your installation is close to power and a data cable, and you do not need a wireless link, look instead at the wired dual-axis models such as the BWN427. If you need only one axis, the BWM415 is a single-axis option.

What is the NB-WS2000 used for?

1. Slope and landslide watch: track slow ground movement on hillsides where power and cables are not available.
2. Retaining wall monitoring: detect gradual leaning of a wall and see in which direction it moves.
3. Bridge monitoring: follow the rotation of piers, abutments or decks over long periods.
4. Building and foundation settlement: record uneven settlement that could affect safety or maintenance planning.
5. Remote construction sites: keep an eye on excavations and temporary works between site visits.
6. Cloud-based reporting: feed readings into a customizable monitoring platform for trending and review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which networks does the NB-WS2000 use?

It works on NB-IoT and 2G-GSM. Which network is used at your site depends on the coverage there, which is worth checking before installation.

How is the NB-WS2000 powered?

It uses solar charging, which means no mains connection is needed at the measuring point.

How many axes does it measure?

It is a dual-axis inclinometer, so it measures tilt in two directions. This lets you see the direction of a movement as well as its size.

What accuracy and resolution does it offer?

The accuracy is 0.001° and the resolution is 0.0007°. These are the figures given for the NB-WS2000, not for other versions in the family.

Is there a limit to the transmission distance?

The maximum transmission distance is listed as no limit. The data travels over the cellular network, so coverage at the site is what counts.

Can I tailor the monitoring platform?

Yes. The sensor is listed with a Customizable Monitoring Cloud System, which receives the readings for trending and reporting.

Where can I buy the NB-WS2000 and what does it cost?

You can buy it through this page, by quotation. The cost depends on the quantity and the project, so we do not print a price here; send us your request and we will reply with a quotation.

Summary

The places that most need tilt monitoring are often the places that are hardest to wire. The NB-WS2000 answers that with two-axis measurement, an accuracy of 0.001°, a resolution of 0.0007°, solar charging, NB-IoT and 2G-GSM connectivity and a customizable cloud system. It fits slopes, walls, bridges and foundations that must be watched over a long time without frequent visits.
