ZAFIRO DATA SMART INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Efficiency and Precision: Buoy System and Zafiro Data Smart

In the marine biology sector, where traditionally researchers had to travel to lakes to manually collect data, thanks to Zafiro Data Smart, we have implemented a system of three buoys equipped with Lora controllers that send data to a central Gateway. This Gateway transmits the information to Zafiro, where the entire process of analysis and visualization takes place in real-time, greatly facilitating the work of researchers and improving the accuracy of the collected data.

Smart monitoring, driving efficiency and sustainable development

With this innovative surveillance system, we can gain an unprecedented insight into the health of our marine environments. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies such as remote sensors, artificial intelligence, and real-time data analysis, we can detect threats, prevent pollution, and ensure the sustainable conservation of our marine treasures. Join us on this fascinating journey towards protecting marine environments.

Intelligent monitoring preserving ecological balance and promoting conservation

For the academic community working in marine sciences, Laguna La Escollera serves as an open-air laboratory where not only teaching practices can be conducted, but also research exercises on the ecological and oceanographic behavior of tropical coastal lagoons. This is possible due to its small size, relative simplicity, and high level of security. In particular, the experience of designing and implementing buoys with sensors for aquatic variables in collaboration with a private company has been highly productive and enlightening, fostering interdisciplinary work among biologists, chemists, and engineers from academia and industry. For our long-term project on coastal lagoons, achieving the implementation of measurement series at various points will allow us to understand variability in space and over day and night, across climatic seasons, and between years, testing hypotheses on circulation, primary production, and the buffering role between land and sea in these lagoons. Additionally, we expect to learn and apply modern techniques for handling massive data sets. Along the way, we aim to educate and develop young human capital to advance in these fields of technology and knowledge.

A pilot... many possibilities to explore

Microlink, in collaboration with the National University of Colombia (UNAL) and the Marine and Coastal Research Institute (Invemar), designed and implemented a test network of oceanographic sensor variables using IoT technology. 

To support the analysis and understanding of the dynamics of the coastal lagoon "La Escollera" in Santa Marta, as a pilot scenario for real-time intelligent monitoring of marine and coastal environments. We used sensors for temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen, strategically installed on buoys located in the lagoon. Measurements are transmitted via LoRaWAN controllers to a central Gateway, and through the internet, using a commercial network server and application server, real-time measurements from various points under study are obtained.

This type of solution opens up opportunities to reach various application areas and industries because the range of sensors is broad, allowing monitoring of various physical variables.
