Real-Time Data Buoys

Real-time data buoys are one of the most effective tools for monitoring waves, current and water quality. Xylem buoys use market leading sensing technology to measure various parameters, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date data, leading to improved outcomes and risk management.

YSI (a Xylem brand) are global leaders in monitoring buoy and sensor technology, specializing in turn-key and bespoke systems.

Benefits of Xylem Buoys:

  • Gain a better understanding of natural seasonal, daily and event variations
  • Detect potential problems early on
  • Modelling and forecasting
  • Low maitenance - Longer operation between service visits with reduced maintenance costs
  • Modular design allows flexibility to add wide range of sensors
  • Turnkey system solutions
  • Safer operation – no divers required.

Buoy Customization

Xylem buoys can be easily customized to maximize instrumentation on a single monitoring platform. Add satellite, radio, or cellular telemetry to provide data to a custom visual display, making it easy for researchers and operators alike to receive critical data on a daily basis. We offer a variety of buoy platforms which can be tailored to fit your needs.

We have the most comprehensive range of monitoring platforms, including configurable profiling systems that monitor from 2m to 100m.

Vertical Water Quality Profiling in Real-Time

Our patented automated vertical water quality profiler can be deployed on a buoy, a towable pontoon platform, or it can be affixed to an existing structure depending on application requirements.

With Integrated Systems & Services' flagship vertical profiler you can autonomously acquire water quality information at various depths as well as meteorological data 24/7. That gives you continuous control of your valuable resources and allows you to make cost-saving decisions whether at your desk or on the road.
