TechWorks Marine Products Overview

TechWorks Marine integrated monitoring products are based around the TechWorks Marine Black Box (TMBB) data processing and transmission system. The TMBB system is a high performance, low power and rugged unit (IP68). The unit features a powerful data acquisition system, with integrated wireless technology, as well as a platform controller which controls power and monitoring of system health.

The TMBB real-time data acquisition and transmission system is designed for use in hostile environments and can accommodate various sensor inputs and configuration to measure various environmental conditions. Data can be communicated using telemetry appropriate to site location (VHF, GSM, WiFi, WiMax, Iridium etc.) and displayed via our secure webpage.  Users are able to remotely control the on board TMBB platform controller from the base station, changing sampling intervals and also trouble shooting any issues that may arise, this feature is beneficial as resources are not consumed on field visits.
