This paper presents the development of an Automation System for Digital Levels - SAND, consisting of a platform that houses the stepper motors and gear systems to perform the monitoring of civil structures in real time, automatically, i.e., without the need for a technician to operate the level. This platform is controlled by a microcontroller board, which allows horizontal movement of geodesic level digital, without interference from the observer. In addition, this platform accommodates an engine that is used for focusing the image of the vertical sights that are installed next to the object you want to perform the monitoring. Using leveling techniques, the SAND takes readings of sight with bar codes, to determine the gaps between the points of interest and thereby determine possible shifts in the structure. The results presented and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methodology.
