What Types of Ocean Data Measurement Products Does AXYS Offer?

Updated

AXYS builds ocean and meteorological measurement systems organized around three product families: wind resource assessment, waves/currents/levels, and custom solutions. The right fit depends on what you need to measure — wind profiles for offshore energy siting, wave and current data for metocean campaigns, or a tailored configuration for a specific site such as a port.

Wind Resource Assessment Products

These systems measure wind conditions, primarily for offshore renewable energy development.

  • FLiDAR WindSentinel — A floating LiDAR buoy for wind resource assessment. AXYS states it is certified to Stage 3, which the company describes as signifying the highest level of availability and performance for offshore LiDAR.
  • 3 Metre — A 3-metre buoy platform used in the wind resource assessment line.
  • MetOcean WatchKeeper — A metocean monitoring buoy listed under wind resource assessment.

Waves, Currents & Levels Products

These systems collect wave, current, and water-level data for metocean and hydrological applications.

  • TRIAXYS — A wave and current buoy. AXYS describes it as the only 1-metre buoy of its kind that collects both wave and current profiling data.
  • HydroLevel — A water-level measurement system.
  • Ocean Sentinel — Listed within the waves, currents, and levels product group.

Custom Solutions

For sites or applications that don't map cleanly onto a standard product, AXYS offers configured systems:

  • Port Sentinel — Aimed at ports and harbors.
  • AVOS — A custom solution listed alongside Port Sentinel.

How to Choose

If you need to measure… Look at
Offshore wind profiles and resource assessment FLiDAR WindSentinel, 3 Metre, MetOcean WatchKeeper
Wave and current profiling from a compact buoy TRIAXYS
Water levels HydroLevel
Port or harbor-specific monitoring Port Sentinel
A configuration outside the standard line AVOS, or AXYS custom solutions

Beyond the Products

AXYS positions these as turnkey systems rather than standalone instruments. The company lists data management, core technology, moorings, commissioning and deployment, repair and calibration, and telemetry among its technology and services. It states that its systems include renewable energy sources for multi-year operation and sensor/telemetry backup integration, and claims 95% or more annual data availability.

For context on scale: AXYS was founded in 1974 and reports having built and commissioned hundreds of meteorological and oceanographic stations across 80+ countries, serving ports and harbors, offshore renewable energy, offshore oil and gas, and metocean observation networks.

If your application is wind-focused, start with the FLiDAR WindSentinel line. If it's wave and current profiling, TRIAXYS is the direct match. For anything site-specific, the custom solutions path (Port Sentinel, AVOS) is where AXYS expects to configure rather than sell off the shelf.
