Read full description

We offer a state-of-the-art maritime solution through a network of smart buoys. These buoys act as digital sentinels, integrating multiple data sources in real time: · Boat Tracking (AIS): We identify and monitor ship traffic in the area. · Underwater Environment Analysis: We use marine probes to map depth. · Real-Time Surveillance: We incorporate cameras for an immediate visual verification of conditions and activities. · Accurate Weather Data: We measure wind, pressure, temperature and waves directly at the location. Main benefit: This unique integration generates a complete "situational awareness", orienting the navigator with critical information and proactively evaluating the environment he is approaching or in which he is, facilitating the making of safe and efficient decisions.
