Through the deployment of its proprietary system of coastal buoys, Seawater Analytics captures physico-chemical parameters of the sea and thanks to the IoT technology -incorporation of physical objects with sensors, software and other technologies- sends this information to the cloud, and finally it is transferred to users via the application itself. Advanced analytics is applied to these indicators, incorporating all data in relation to weather and sea conditions to establish a quality index. Nevertheless, the challenge we pose is that, although the buoys have a watertight capsule in which a sensor-enabled control unit is located to perform measurements, given the demand the company is receiving, the most immediate needs shall focus on the sensors or sensoric part, considering, in turn, on the following specific requirements:
The attainment of these requirements will make the product’s market appeal grow exponentially, in addition to placing its usefulness in the spotlight for beaches, commercial ports and marinas, as it will be able to detect any type of contamination more rapidly, thus ensuring an immediate response.
