Data Collection Buoys Order26/09/2007 |
| AXYS has won a competitive contract from Petrobras for the supply of four 3-metre oceanographic and meteorological data collection buoys. The buoys will be deployed with AXYS Field Service Specialist assistance and will support Petrobras' 2008 offshore oil & gas exploration activities in 500m of water. |

Data from the sensors is collected by AXYS' WatchMan500 data-acquisition system and transmitted to a shore station by Inmarsat C satellite telemetry. Authorized Petrobras users can access buoy data from their office, while AXYS' Data Management System (DMS) permits remote control & configuration of the entire buoy network, down to the individual sensor level.
