Aanderaa, a Xylem Brand applications

Aanderaa`s coastal research offering includes a variety of shallow water sensors and instruments to be deployed either real-time or autonomous. In coastal research, Aanderaa offers reliable, compact, low-power consuming, and user-friendly sensors and systems measuring a wide range of parameters at the highest quality. We offer "Smart Sensors" to measure Currents, Oxygen, Conductivity/Salinity/Density, Wave/Tide, Vented Wave/Tide, and Pressure. All smart sensors have in-built high-quality temperature sensors and deliver absolute readings.

Safe Navigation – Efficient Port - Systems for meteorological data for ports and harbors. Complete MetOcean systems are designed to monitor traffic conditions to ports and fairways, displaying information on the internet or integrated into existing systems. The primary purpose of the systems is to provide real-time and historical data to VTS operators, ship pilots, ship bridges, harbor authorities, and other public and governmental bodies via the Internet or AIS systems. Harbors and fairways worldwide have installed Xylem solutions from Aanderaa, YSI, and SonTek. Large ports with radar-based Vessel Traffic Management (VTS) and smaller ports without radar-based VTS systems use these MetOcean systems to provide essential data input for safe maneuvering and improve port efficiency.

Aanderaa products have been used in oceanographic research for more than 50 years. Aanderaa products have played an important roles within the oceanographic community since 1966. The Aanderaa Current Meters were from the beginning known for their reliability and early considered the de facto standard for ocean current measurements. Over the years, our oceanographic product portfolios have undergone an evolution; the range of products have broadened substantially. Aanderaa oceanographic products incorporate industry-leading microcontrollers and digital signal processors. Advanced software solutions and powerful processors are implemented in our data loggers. XML and modern Bus technology provide safe and fast data transfer. Our advanced sensors based on decades of development employ the most advanced multi-frequency acoustic technology and optical technology available.

Aanderaa instrumentation has offered high quality information to improve the safety of the offshore operations for more than 40 years. Environmental Monitoring Systems. Aanderaa is a leading player in the collection and transmission of environmental information. Accurate measurements improve environmental impact assessment and the preparation of contingency plans, operational models and forecasts, wherever offshore activities are conducted. Our user defined Met-Ocean instrument platforms offer a smart and flexible observation system without the huge cost of a custom solution. Aanderaa systems for offshore includes SEAGUARD®, RDCP, oil boom Doppler log, weather stations, wave and tide stations and buoy systems. Data from our equipment can be displayed over AIS, internet or to be integrated into other systems.

Smart Sub Observatory is a flexible platform enabling tailor-made solutions, both with sensors from Aanderaa and other suppliers. They can be used off-the-shelf or customized to better cover application requirements. Easy transport and secure launching: Because all the equipment is gathered into a single platform testing of functionality is easy and safe. Equipment is not disconnected during transport - contributing to equipment that has worked during the trial period also working when the equipment is deployed. Instruments and sensors are protected during transport and deployment minimizing delays and malfunctions. This gives reliable collection of data, better economy and not least - that deadlines can be met.
