n offshore operations, reliable data starts with dependable sensors. At WISE Group, we specialise in delivering high-performance sensor solutions that form the backbone of real-time monitoring systems across weather, oceanographic, motion, and visibility domains.
We are not just a system integrator—we are sensor experts. Our team has extensive experience selecting, deploying, and maintaining sensors from the world’s leading manufacturers. We understand how to configure complex multi-sensor setups and ensure their long-term performance in harsh offshore environments.
We also design and manufacture our own advanced motion sensor: the WISE AIM. Built on a multi-IMU architecture with high-fidelity accelerometers and tilt sensors, AIM delivers class-leading performance for structural monitoring, vessel motion tracking, and helideck safety. These sensors are embedded into many of our systems, trusted by offshore wind developers, vessel operators, and energy companies worldwide.
From weather stations and current profilers to ADCPs and LIDAR visibility sensors, our sensor catalogue supports:
- Compliance with CAP 437, WMO, ISO and offshore classification standards
- Redundancy, precision, and stability over long-term deployments
- Seamless integration with SCADA, EMS, HMS and digital twin platforms
Whether you need to measure wind on a helideck, wave height from a platform, or motion on a floating wind foundation—we provide the technology, expertise and lifecycle support to ensure accurate and reliable data.
