SAMS: Marine Environmental Monitoring System

Vertical IoT for aquatic monitoring

The SAMS system (Sensor-based Aquatics Monitoring Systems) is a complete vertical of EXXN Engineering for marine environmental monitoring IoT, which collects water quality data through high-precision sensors located on buoys and reports it in real-time - using the most suitable wireless technology for each location - to a data processing platform that represents it in the form of a dashboard, including inventory management, infrastructure alarm reporting, and firmware updates for IoT nodes.

SAMS can collect information on temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, hydrocarbons, salinity/conductivity, blue-green algae, flow, current discharge, and any other custom sensor requested by the user.

The basic system is composed of the following elements:  

BOX90 Buoy

Discreet buoy anchored with solar panel power supply and high-capacity battery

MSA800 Multisensor

Configurable aquatic multisensor for monitoring up to 8 parameters.

VBO40 Virtual buoy

Multisensor and electronics for docks and cliffs without the need to deploy a buoy

Datalogger EXX1012

Completo nodo IoT que soporta procesado EGDE y comunciación celular LWPAN y 2/3/4/5G

EXXN IoT Platform

Inventory, data processing, component visualization, alarm reporting

Additional services

EXXN offers all the necessary services for the operation and maintenance of SAMS systems:

Project and permits

We prepare and approve the installation project and request all the permits for the deployment

Repositioning and Installation

You won't have to worry about the installation or risk prevention, our managers will take care of it for you,

Design of the foundation

We design the dead weights required for the buoys based on the deployment scenario, ensuring the moorings.

Coverage Study

With our CELLDoctor tool, we study the coverage of the installation sites for the buoys, selecting the optimal technology for each deployment (NB_IoT, CAT-M, Sigfox, 2G/3G/4G/5G)

Preventive maintenance

EXXN offers preventive maintenance for different systems to ensure stable operation, with the maximum possible availability, without surprises or hidden costs.

Corrective Maintenance

Replacement of damaged components due to malfunction and other corrective maintenance operations according to the SLA defined with the client

SAMS system references

The SAMS systems have been exhaustively tested in different scenarios, both in the ocean and in freshwater lakes.

SAMS in CALVIÀ

SAMS system operated by the Calviá Town Hall consisting of 16 BOX90 buoys for measuring parameters of marine water quality that are used to report to visitors of the different beaches in the region

SAMS at Lake As Pontes

SAMS system installed in the largest and deepest artificial lake in Europe, Lake As Pontes. Operated by INTACTA Environmental Management, it integrates a configuration with an aquatic multisensor, current meter, and measurement of the current angle.
