For over 50 years, AXYS Technologies has been a global leader in oceanographic and meteorological monitoring systems, now strengthening its presence at COVE.
Since its founding in 1974 in Sidney, British Columbia, AXYS has delivered more than 250 monitoring stations in over 30 countries, serving marine, hydrological, and offshore wind sectors with high-performance environmental data solutions.
Central to AXYS’s reputation is its commitment to accuracy and reliability. Their flagship FLiDAR WindSentinel™ floating LiDAR system for offshore wind assessment has undergone rigorous verification across multiple continents and months of data collection, consistently meeting or surpassing Carbon Trust Standards. This third-party validation highlights AXYS’s industry-leading precision.
Beyond accuracy, AXYS designs rugged, renewable energy–powered buoys engineered for multi-year deployments in extreme weather, from hurricanes to typhoons, ensuring continuous data flow through redundant telemetry and sensor systems. These resilient platforms have proven dependable where others fail.
AXYS also offers comprehensive turnkey services including system design, commissioning, deployment, diagnostics, and training. Their AXYS-APS data platform delivers secure, real-time access to critical environmental information, reinforcing client confidence in both hardware and data integrity.
“Our clients operate where failure isn’t an option,” says Max Bottoni, Vice President of Operations. “Every system we build performs day after day, storm after storm, in the world’s harshest conditions.”
AXYS’s diverse clients include military, environmental agencies, offshore wind developers, oil and gas operators, researchers, and coastal engineers—all relying on trusted data for critical decisions.
Being part of the COVE community connects AXYS to a vibrant marine innovation ecosystem with advanced infrastructure, waterfront access, and testbeds that accelerate R&D and deployment. This strategic move enhances collaboration, talent access, and global partnerships aligned with AXYS’s goals for innovation and market growth.
As climate change and renewable energy drive rising demand for reliable ocean data, AXYS combines decades of experience with innovation to support marine sectors worldwide, reinforcing Canada’s leadership in dual-use marine technologies.
