18. Developments in Telemetry, Data Collection Systems and Hydrogen Gas Mitigation at Axys Technologies Inc.

Author: Mark Blaseckie (Axys Technologies Inc. CANADA)

Abstract: Over the last year, a number of developments at Axys Technologies Inc. have resulted in new applications and advantages for buoy owners and operators.
We have begun outfitting our TRIAXYS Directional Wave Buoys and Moored Meteorological Buoys with Iridium and INMARSAT D+ transceivers. This has given us the capabilities to reconfiguring remote buoys from our office. Our development of a light weight/short deployment term wave buoy is complete. Our next generation payload, the Watchman 500ä is being deployed this year on three buoy systems. 
As a result of Axys’ continued research into Hydrogen gas mitigation in solar power buoy systems, all systems shipping are now fitted with our hydrogen-scrubbing module. 
Our Service Partnership with Environment Canada has been renewed for another three-year term for both marine and AVOS systems. Recent problems/solutions and concerns will be presented.
This presentation will discuss each of these topics and other developments at Axys Technologies Inc.
