Purpose-built,
innovative, state-of-
the-art floating LiDAR
More buoyancy, greater redundancy, more complete and accurate data.
The Green Rebel / IDS Floating LiDAR platform is a state-of-the art solution, providing offshore developers with market-leading insights and intelligence. The buoy platform has been designed in Ireland and purpose-built for deployment and endurance in the most challenging sea conditions and has achieved level 2 certification. A unique, advanced solution, offering more power than any other buoy, more buoyancy than any other solution and featuring proven technology and telemetry systems.
Data Processing & Reporting
Better data, better decisions
Data gathered from each of the onboard sensors is stored, backed up and transferred to remote servers. On the buoy, data is processed by the IDS data processing systems, including motion compensation for the LiDAR data. Data is reported to shore every three hours and made available to clients in near-real time via the IDS Secure DataLink Server.
Data is reviewed, processed and presented in a monthly report that includes performance metrics on the system and also provides a monthly dataset.
