Testimonials
The technical support provided by AXYS has been of very high quality and has been part of the success for our clients’ monitoring projects. The buoys provided by AXYS have operated according to their specifications and have provided excellent data return rates.
As the first Program Manager and Technical Lead for CBIBS, I recommend the initial selection of AXYS products, acquired them for the system, and I continue to be pleased with their performance and reliability. Support from AXYS technical and professional staff has been excellent over the years. The WatchKeeper buoys themselves have survived numerous storms and hurricanes, as well as ship impacts, with little or no damages.
As an early launch customer for the FLiDAR WindSentinel, NCKU worked with AXYS to identify ways to increase the robustness of the system. Improvements implemented from these early trials have further increased the reliability of AXYS current FLiDAR 6M offering.
At Environment Canada, we are pleased with the data provided by the moored buoy network. The AXYS systems in use have performed very well with an operational reliability of better than 95% on the payloads. In addition, the technical support provided by AXYS has been of a high quality and has played a major part in the success of the program.
The WatchMate buoy was deployed to the harsh Bering Strait region near Alaska. During this time the buoy provided a very high data return rate (99%). It also survived some very harsh marine conditions, including 9 metre waves and 40 knot winds. We were very impressed with how AXYS operates, from the initial systems requirements discussions right through to recovery of the buoy. We found them to be very open, honest and flexible in meeting our needs. We can highly recommend the WatchMate buoy as a high performing and reliable scientific instrument.
With over three years of operational experience, I can confidently say that we are impressed with the performance of the 3-metre buoy and have no hesitation recommending it for either short or long term deployment application. The level of support and assistance provided by AXYS Technologies has been excellent and in some instances ‘beyond the call’.
AXYS has provided great customer support, beginning with the initial correspondence discussing the buoy through to regular customer service when required by staff operating the buoy. We would certainly recommend AXYS Technologies as a leading manufacturer of ODAS buoys.
