Your turnkey data solution for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) projects.

The RSTAR Affinity digital suite is the turnkey solution for your Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) projects. Network setup is simple and OpenAPI makes RSTAR Affinity easy to integrate into your established geotechnical workflow. RSTAR Affinity integrates sensor data logging, capture, communication, and near real-time analysis into an end-to-end solution for the geotechnical industry.

The RSTAR Affinity digital suite provides an essential set of critical asset management features. Alerts, mapping, fleet and user management tools, and straightforward reporting provide essential support for remote monitoring projects. The software can also support multiple sites simultaneously, allowing users to monitor global operations at the touch of a button.

Data retrieval can be configured, and analysis can be performed, from the comforts of an office chair or out in the field using the RSTAR Affinity digital suite. Used together, the dashboard and mobile application communicate with RSTAR Affinity gateways and data loggers to create an ecosystem of best-in-class geotechnical, environmental, and structural monitoring. The RSTAR Affinity Field App is available for Android devices.

The digital suite is OpenAPI 3.0 compliant.

RSTAR Affinity
Built by our team of seasoned instrumentation experts specifically for geotechnical monitoring projects, the RSTAR Affinity system comprises loggers, gateways, secure communications for data telemetry, and mobile and desktop applications. Forget the headaches of improvised monitoring solutions cobbled together from different third-party vendors. RSTAR Affinity represents your complete industrial internet of things (IIoT) solution for reliable, real-time data flow from your work site to your desktop—all from a single source.
