What Feelbat does
Feelbat is a French connected-sensor company specializing in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for civil engineering, geotechnics, mining, railway, heritage, and natural-risk applications. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Jacou (Hérault, France), the company designs and sells a portfolio of wireless IoT sensors — primarily under the DELTA family — that measure cracks, inclination, convergence, soil moisture, and groundwater levels, transmitting data via Bluetooth (local) and Sigfox LPWAN (remote) to a centralized web and mobile application. Proprietary technology includes ultra-precision measurement chains (5µm accuracy on crack sensors, 0.005° resolution on tilt sensors) and a patented adhesive fixation system enabling 3-second installation of the DELTA L+ Mini on smooth surfaces.
The company's revenue model blends one-time hardware sales (sensors priced €319–€1,290), recurring connectivity via the SIGFOX LINKFEEL token, usage-based platform credits (€10 per credit, packs up to 300+ credits), project tiers (Basic vs. Expert features), and recurring maintenance services (€89–€99 per cycle). Go-to-market combines a direct self-serve e-commerce storefront for SMB/individual buyers with a direct enterprise sales motion targeting testing/inspection/certification firms (APAVE, Bureau Veritas, DEKRA), engineering consultancies (GINGER, FONDASOL), and railway operators (SNCF). The platform is localized in English, French, Italian, and Spanish, with stated market coverage extending to Western/Southern Europe and South America. As of 2024, the company has raised approximately €1.6M in funding from Apicap and Bpifrance and operates with 11–50 employees.

Feelbat product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Feelbat designs, manufactures, and sells connected IoT sensors for structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures such as bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, and buildings. The DELTA sensor family wirelessly measures crack displacement, tilt/inclination, soil moisture, groundwater (piezometric) levels, and convergence via Bluetooth and Sigfox LPWAN, transmitting data to a free cloud-based mobile and web platform that delivers intelligent alerts and PDF reports.
Product overview
Feelbat designs and develops a comprehensive portfolio of connected structural monitoring sensors and solutions for civil engineering, geotechnics, and structural health monitoring (SHM). The core product line centers on the DELTA sensor family, which includes DELTA L+ and DELTA L+ Mini for crack monitoring, DELTA R for bi-axial tilt/inclination measurement, DELTA X-Hs for soil moisture monitoring, DELTA X-P for piezometric groundwater level monitoring, and DELTA X-L for large amplitude crack measurement. The DELTA X serves as a versatile datalogger hub for connecting various probe sensors. Supporting products include manual crack monitoring tools (DELTA L, DELTA L Max), the Pack Extenso for convergence measurement, connectivity solutions (FEELBOX 4G, SIGFOX Microstation), and various fixing kits and accessories (JC1/JC2 gauges, batteries, anchors). The ecosystem is tied together through a mobile application and web monitoring platform, with credit-based subscription plans enabling advanced features like expert projects, remote connectivity tokens, PDF reports, and alert services.
