The 6 NKE buoys were deployed along the port of La Rochelle to monitor the Atlantic coast during the constructions.


They are doing great and they proved their worth and robustness despite the breaking waves in December 🌊

As a reminder, know that we implemented a continuity plan to ensure your requests.

To do so we established new sanitary procedures in order to maintain the activity and prepare ourselves for the end of the lockdown!

Therefore we keep doing the best of we can whether from NKE facility 🏭 or from home 🏡

🎉 We are delighted to announce we keep expanding our WiSens underwater data logger range!

It is now possible to measure and record dissolved oxygen concentration or saturation as well as depth and temperature down to 500 meters depth.

The WiSens DO benefits from the same key advantages as its partners within the range:

✔Ease of use

✔Fast wireless configuration and data collection thanks to the WiFi communication

✔Easy maintenance

✔Intuitive web embedded interface

The WiSens range is becoming bigger!
NKE Team is putting its efforts to develop its underwater data logger range: the WiSens range.
If the temperature is your top one priority, you can now order the WiSens T which measures and records temperature down to 300 meters.

➡ Get ready for our next announcement regarding the WiSens Range on Tuesday, April 14th

NKE Arvor I profiling float can now be fitted with an RBRargo3 CTD from RBR Ltd.

🎬 Check out the video made at IFREMER test pool to see how we test our profiling floats!

✈Last week was an American week for nke! While our sales team was in San Diego, one of our profiling float engineer was in Woods Hole 🇺🇸

Christophe hold a training on the PROVOR CTS5-USEA profiling float at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
The aim of this training was to show them all the functionalities and to explain how to use this float that benefits from a new graphical user interface to set mission and acquisition parameters.

The PROVOR CTS5-USEA is also fully BGC-Argo compliant as it can embed the 6 core-BGC-Argo variables and extras such as the new UVP6-LP from Hydroptic designed to study large particles and zooplankton. 🎥🦐

Thank you WHOI for having us!

🎥 Last week, our CEO Mr. Jean-Claude Le Bleis was asked about the objectives of Ocean BtoB which aims to gather companies to support the blue economy.

It allowed us to meet some partners regarding an offshore wind farm project.

📺 Thank you France 3 Bretagne for visiting our offices!

🇺🇸🌴 Ocean Sciences Meeting – San Diego // DAY 1️⃣

Yves and Jérôme are now ready to have you BOOTH 4️⃣0️⃣2️⃣
Don’t hesitate to visit them and discover NKE brand new innovations!

Last week, IFREMER hosted the ARVOR-PROVOR Float Technical Workshop in Brest.The aim of this workshop was to provide ARVOR and PROVOR Argo float users with extensive technical information and to share best practices. The workshop is being organized by Argo-France and Argo-Canada.
Nke Instrumentation is the manufacturing company of the mostly deployed autonomous profiling floats those last two years. Therefore the team presented our core activity, our latest product innovations and our top priorities.

We are delighted to introduce you the WiMo sonde that will make your life easier. 👍

Thanks to its digital smart sensor suite and its real plug and play, you can measure up to 20 water parameters down to 250 meters depth.

As the web interface is embedded within the sonde you don’t have to waste any time installing software.

The aim of these buoys is to monitor the Atlantic coast during the constructions for the project “Port Horizon 2025” ⚓

The 6 buoys are equipped with fantastic and useful NKE multiparameter probes to measure the main physicochemical water parameters. 💧

The data are automatically transmitted and readable by the final users on our Webdata system. 💻

This network is design for hard environment for minimum 5️⃣ years.

🌊 Very first supply of our new ready-to-deploy CTS5_USEA profiling float developed in collaboration with the LOV – fully BGC-Argo compliant as it can embed the 6 core-BGC-Argo variables + the new UVP6_LP 🎥
