Discover our underwater instruments

Our challenge towards blue economy

The aims of the company is designing, manufacturing and selling instruments for the measurement and the monitoring of oceans and fresh waters. The top one priority of NKE Instrumentation is to be involved in the understanding of the blue lung of the planet by developing smart high-tech products. The fields of applications are rivers, lakes, estuaries, oceans and deep sea.

There are three distinct ranges of products. Underwater monitoring instruments that are products designed to measure in-situ the main physico-chemical parameters of fresh and sea water. Buoys and instrumented systems aim to measure, transmit and retrieve data in any type of environment. Profiling floats are used for oceanographic and environmental studies of the evolution of oceans and climate. NKE Instrumentation is though involved in the international ARGO program to supply temperature and salinity profiling floats.

NKE Instrumentation is a leading provider of water monitoring solutions thanks to its 30 years of experience in this field. The company aims solving environmental issues and be involved in several research projects in order to find challenging solutions.

REGISTER TO OUR WEEKLY FLASH WEBINARS

As many shows and events are being cancelled, we are getting more and more impatient to introduce you our latest product evolutions and innovations. Therefore we took the decision to stop waiting and to organize weekly virtual flash meetings to keep you updated! Don't hesitate to join us for free during our flash webinar sessions.

MULTIPARAMETER SONDE WiMo

The WiMo new multiparameter sonde can measure up to 20 water parameters thanks to its new design. The WiMo has four locations available to plug and unplug any sensor at will while the WiMo Plus has seven locations you can plug sensors into. This sonde benefits from its own digital smart sensors suite as they can be plugged and unplugged anytime and anywhere but they also benefit from their own calibration interface. The WiMo sonde is very easy to use as it embeds its own web interface compatible with any type of device.

NKE BGC PROFILING FLOATS EMBED NEW SENSORS

NKE Instrumentation continues to develop its range of Argo biogeochemical profiling floats and now includes a new type of float with many advantages. One of them is the new graphical user interface which is easier for the user and much more convenient for defining mission and acquisition parameters. It is also possible to add other sensors to the 6 basic ARGO BGC variables that we used to define on the PROVOR CTS4. Indeed, you can add the underwater vision sensor, the UVP6-LP sensor from Hydroptic, to simultaneously study and quantify large particles and zooplankton.

NKE officially joined a new R&D project: NAUTILOS started on the 1st of October! NAUTILOS aims to find a new approach regarding underwater technologies for innovative and low-cost ocean observation. This is an H2020 project funded under the Future of Seas and Oceans Flagship Initiative coordinated by the National Research Council of Italy. NKE will bring to this project its long-time multidisciplinary expertise in terms of ocean instrumentation development and integration.
