Current monitoring sensors deployed
Today we went to the Cap d’Agde Marina and deployed 14 current consumption sensors. Everything works well, we can now accurately know if a boat is consuming current or not. We are now testing two types of apparatus to measure current consumption. Below shows some results from the deployment. The…
Thomas and Ziran promoting SmartMarina at IoT Solution World Congress in Barcelona!
During the three day event at Fira-Barcelona, hundreds of people stopped by our booth to learn how we plan to make the Cap d’ Agde Marina smart and modern. Some very enthusiastic marina users are very happy to learn that we are making an effort in this direction. Internet of Things…
Boat-detecting sensors deployed
Four out of five prototype boat-detecting sensing nodes use a pair microwave motion sensors to monitor two adjacent berths continuously. When a vessel is parked, the sensor, mounted on the floating dock facing the body of the vessel, detects the relative motion between the dock and the vessel. There is…
Boat-detecting sensors ready
The boat-detecting sensors are ready! They are being tested at Inria-Paris, and will be deployed at the Cap d’Agde by the end of the August.
Ziran and Thomas were in London attending invited IOT workshop
On July 6th and 7th, Ziran and Thomas were at UCL attending invited IOT workshop. Ziran presented the SmartMarina project during the workshop and identified a potential collaborator to test a vision-based vessel identification system.
VIVA Technology Tradeshow
Thomas and Ziran will be at VivaTechnology in Paris on June 17 to promote SmartMarina project. SmartMarina will be featured in Hall 1 booth D31, on 17 June. You are very welcome to drop by our booth during the all-day event. Program agenda: https://www.inria.fr/centre/paris/agenda/vivatechnologylink. Event website: https://vivatechnology.com/
Prototype sensor system ready!
We developed the first wireless boat-detection sensor prototype at Inria. Each features two Maxbotix ultrasonic range finder to detect if boats are present.
First network deployed!
We deployed a test network consisting of seven nodes at the heart of Cap d’ Adge marina. This first deployment allows us to verify the connectivity between nodes in the marina environment. Over the weekend, all the nodes remained perfectly connected! We are now moving to the next task: testing the…
Kick-off!
The Inria team took the 6am train from Paris to Cap d’Agde to meet with our new partners and start the SmartMarina project! Pierre Weiss (Sodéal) and Olivier Laporte (EcoToPort) received us and gave us a ton of useful information about the marina and the vision they have for its…
