Gemalto is enabling M2M connectivity for an innovative Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution that monitors dynamic ocean conditions to optimize safety and efficiency in Brazilian ports. Developed by HidroMares a leading oceanography consulting firm, the real time weather-oceanographic information system (SISMO) monitors waves, currents, water depth, temperature and salinity to improve navigation safety, streamline ship traffic and increase port productivity.
The SISMO telemetry system leverages modems by Duodigit, a provider of telemetry and biometrics technology products, to collect various ocean data from sensors deployed on buoys, piers and the seabed in ports. The modems use Gemalto Cinterion M2M Modules with embedded Java to process and send data via wireless networks and the Internet to a backend server. Port workers sign on securely to an intuitive interface and use the data to improve real time decision-making and optimize port productivity. The solution is already deployed in Porto of Açu in Rio de Janeiro state, whose location near Campos Basin is strategic to the petrol industry.
“Sampling of oceanographic data is done in extremely hostile environments requiring rugged durability of system components during installation and maintenance. The transmission of real time data demands a robust system that is reliable continuously in all conditions, 365 days a year,” said Alexandre De Caroli, technical director of HidroMares.
