MiniWinch
The MiniWinch Vertical Profiling System is a sophisticated tool designed for the automatic collection of oceanographic data at various depths in the water column, providing crucial insights for understanding the marine environment.
MiniWinch
Its automated operation and reliability make it an ideal and cost-effective instrument for long-term profiling in remote areas.
An intelligent decision-making algorithm ensures consistent operation by monitoring weather conditions and battery charge levels before initiating winch profiling missions. This prevents damage to instruments and facilitates successful long-term deployments.
The robust design has proven its reliability with tens of thousands of successful profiles in the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Real-time communication with instruments throughout profiling : Enables instant data acquisition and analysis, enhancing responsiveness and decision-making during oceanographic studies
Automated data transmission and remote conguration changes : Reduces the need for manual intervention, saving time and resources while ensuring uninterrupted data flow.
Remotely accessible via Ethernet, cellular, or satellite communication : Provides exible access to data and system controls, whether stationed onshore or in remote field locations
Seamless integration with the OceanSIP cloud-hosted database and dashboard : Simplifies data management and visualization, allowing researchers to focus on insights rather than infrastructure
Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials for saltwater operation : Ensures long-term durability and reliability in harsh marine environments
Docking station protects instruments between profiles: Extends the lifespan of sensitive equipment by minimizing exposure to
the elements when not in use
