xPlorer® is Digitex Systems’ rugged and powerful central data acquisition unit for permanent installation in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) projects. It’s a compact device integrating both hardware and software, combining industrial-grade reliability with the full functionality of the Voyager® software suite for data collection, storage, synchronization, processing, alarming, and reporting.

With its robust aluminum IP67 enclosure, integrated UPS battery, and advanced time synchronization modules, xPlorer ensures uninterrupted operation and precise alignment of data across large monitoring networks. Whether deployed on bridges, dams, tunnels, pipelines, or high-rise buildings, xPlorer is the backbone of SHM installations, enabling real-time decision-making and long-term performance insights.

xPlorer Premium acts as the central hub for all Sentry System devices (xWave, xSense, xStrain, etc.), supporting both local and remote configurations. Furthermore, it can acquire and manage data from hundreds of channels simultaneously, with continuous Ring Buffer recording that ensures no event is missed. On top of that, the xPlorer Premium stores data locally for up to 60 days and exports in proprietary compressed formats, MiniSEED, or ASCII for interoperability.

Communication

With dual Ethernet ports, DigiMESH® connectivity, and USB service access, the xPlorer Premium provides flexible integration options. One Ethernet port supports the sensor network, along with a second one that offers optional LAN/Internet connectivity. Consequently, users may publish their xPlorer securely online through Digitex’s tunnelling service with predefined domains. Also, it supports remote management with over‑the‑air firmware updates, secure reboot, and configuration.

Synchronization

Additionally, xPlorer Premium includes a GPS module and Digitex’s proprietary DigiSync® protocol. In this way, it ensures sub‑millisecond accuracy in time and data synchronization across all connected devices – critical for advanced modal and vibration analysis. Finally, even in GPS‑denied environments, DigiSync maintains reliable synchronization, aligning every sensor with the central station clock.

Acess & Security

Moreover, users can access data directly through a web browser, preview and analyze recordings, generate automated PDF reports, or stream live data to client applications. Optional alarming features include SMS and email notifications, relay outputs, and integration with thirdparty safety systems. On top of that, the integrated UPS battery provides more than 20 hours of autonomy, ensuring continuous operation during power outages.
