A new development task from a port customer

“We have received a new development task from one of our port customers, where we have to develop a module for the ProPower system with water level measurement and sea temperature measurement around the port. The port customer is involved in the Danish Meteorological Institute’s research and measurement of the water level on Denmark’s coasts. Our port customer approached us and expressed a need for a solution with data collection”, says CEO Ulrik Østergaard.

“We consider ourselves the port’s external IoT development department, so of course I said thank you for the task and told the customer that we should probably help with that”, concludes Ulrik Østergaard.

Vikingegaarden A/S is already in the process of designing and developing the solution for water level measurement and sea temperature measurement, and can already reveal that the system will be called ProPower OceanWatcher. The solution is expected to be ready at the beginning of the 4th quarter of 2020.

ProPower OceanWatcher (OWA) is a solution for all companies that need a monitoring system for water level and sea temperature measurement with data collection for the Danish Meteorological Institute and for internal use.

Specifically, OWA measures the height of the water table and sends data via VMS Cloud to DMI, and the port gets an easy overview of the water level and sea temperature around the port by graph display.

The system provides insight into the water level height with historical data and can also be used as a warning system/information system for ships.
