Gear monitoring systems
Fishermen worldwide have relied on information from Simrad's gear monitoring solutions every day since the early 60s. Information about door spread, door stability, geometry, water speed, cod-end filling, and the height of the trawl and trawl doors is vital to be efficient. In addition, our monitoring solution can provide the physical location of the gear as an aid for safe navigation. For a purse seiner, you get information about net depth, distance to the bottom, sinking rate and temperature.
Today, our range of gear sensors, both wireless and cable-based, can be combined. Interfacing our gear monitoring systems with other equipment gives you complete control from setting to catch, thus enabling you to fish more efficiently, sustainably and safely.
Combining the use of Simrad sonars, echo sounders and gear monitoring systems gives you optimal interoperability.
