We’re excited to announce the start of development on our wireless sledgehammer prototype, purpose-built for shallow seismic data acquisition.
While wireless geophone systems have become increasingly robust and user-friendly, the impact side of the workflow has remained largely unchanged. Our goal is to change that. We’re developing a new hammer system that can deliver precise impact timing without the need for fragile cables or unreliable switches—tailored specifically for shallow seismic applications like refraction, MASW, and near-surface investigations.
This tool is being designed with real field conditions in mind. It’s not just about collecting data—it’s about collecting the right data, reliably, even in tough environments. Our prototype will focus on recording accurate, high-resolution impact times in sync with wireless geophone arrays, helping streamline workflows and reduce ambiguity in post-processing.
We’re starting with a lean approach: validating the core functionality before expanding into more advanced features. Testing has just begun, and we’ll be iterating fast, learning from every swing.
We won’t be sharing hardware or signal processing details at this stage, but we’ll keep you posted on the journey—highlighting the challenges and breakthroughs as they come.
This is just the beginning. Stay tuned.
