Environmental Water Monitoring Systems and Services, Data Buoys, Autonomous Water Vehicles and Data Collection Platforms

Maximize Your Remote Water Monitoring

An Integrated System from YSI can be built for almost any water monitoring application. Reveal water quality in the entire water column with a vertical profiler, configure your own unique data buoy or TurnKey system for real-time data collection on land or water, or use an unmanned autonomous vehicle for spatial mapping of bathymetry, water quality and water flow in one mission.

Autonomous Water Monitoring Vehicles

Multiple Sensors, One Solution

The rQPOD Remote Surface Water Vehicle (ASV), the HYCAT Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) and the i3XO EcoMapper Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) allow you to integrate sensors for water quality, discharge, bathymetry, currents, and more into a light, portable system that can be deployed with on or two people.

Data Buoy Water Quality

Data Buoys for All Environments

Whether you just want a water quality sonde on the retention pond, or a sonde plus sensors for currents, waves, and AIS tracking in a major port, YSI can integrate a data buoy for you.

YSI's Flagship System

YSI's patented profiler technology can lower a water quality sonde anywhere in the water column and deliver the data via cellular or satellite transmission. A fixed, buoy or pontoon system can be configured for any application where depth profiles of your water quality data matter: drinking water intake selection, harmful algal bloom monitoring, discharge permitting, and more.
