Core Technology

AXYS uses its’ proprietary WatchMan500™ Network Solution on all of our data collection platforms. The WatchMan500™ was designed as the new generation of payload for the AXYS marine buoy and terrestrial weather information systems to provide desktop to sensor monitoring and control, including dynamic onboard control and data storage capabilities. Besides managing the sensor payload, the WatchMan500™ is also used to manage the platform power generation and storage system, and interfaces with custom and commercial sensors, equipment, software, and telemetry.

Services

The AXYS Service Team has extensive experience in the training, deployment and maintenance for operational buoy programs. AXYS technicians are capable of board level diagnostics/repair in the field, and individual electronic component level diagnostics/repair in the lab. They handle client training that covers all aspects of buoy and systems assembly, function, installation, preventative and corrective maintenance, repair, testing, calibration, transmission protocols, data storage, data analysis, data presentation, and real-time data distribution.

AXYS can provide full turnkey installation programs for any of our products, anywhere in the world. Working with our clients and our regional agents, we will co-ordinate the installation or service logistics required to ensure the installation or repair of AXYS systems.

Life @ AXYS

AXYS’ quality of work is closely tied to the quality of our people. We believe that a happy and healthy team creates better solutions for our clients, and it is that belief that drives life @ AXYS. Our team is truly global, with members coming from around the world. We understand the value of diversity and pride ourselves on our global staff from the Philippines, Mexico, Peru, England, Belgium, Venezuela, the Netherlands, and Canada. We always see work as part of a balanced life and seek to maintain that balance in everything that we do. We strongly encourage a healthy lifestyle at AXYS, and that support consists of a wide range of activities, including an annual employee sports subsidy, social events such as climbing, bowling and rowing, and participation in community events, like “Bike to Work Week”.

Overall life at AXYS is fun and productive. Whether it’s working together to come up with an innovative idea to solve a problem, throwing a BBQ fundraiser, or motivating each other to join the corporate rowing team, we enjoy ourselves. And that translates into a company that others want to work for, and with. Our aim at AXYS is to support our positive, constructive team with activities that keep them healthy and happy and, as you can see from the pictures, we think we achieve that goal.
