The ICAMPUS consortium, focused on innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), has established a collaboration with Resinex to develop an advanced instrumental buoy for specialized measurements and for monitoring water conditions in the port area of Livorno.
The buoy is characterized by a diameter of 1800 mm and a net buoyancy of 1150 kg. It features a significant innovation: in addition to solar panels, it is equipped with wind turbines to ensure the necessary energy sustainability for the operation of its devices. Besides providing the buoy, Resinex has supplied all the mooring elements.
The instruments embedded in the buoy include a wave sensor for wave measurements, a hydrophone with an array of hydrophones for vessel tracking, and an optics fiber sensor to detect pollutants in the water.
