We are dedicated to find reliable and long lasting solutions for our customers and are working hard for a safer environment by measuring the processes in our industries and in the nature around us. We invite you to explore our product offerings below.

Aanderaa products for environmental research have been used in the oceanographic, hydrographic, river and lake research, as well as climate research markets for more than 40 years. Aanderaa has completely renewed its product offering over the last 10 years. Today, Aanderaa delivers the most technologically advanced self-contained and/or integrated remote underwater and atmospheric observation systems in the marketplace.

Our Seaguard platform and expanding line-up of smart sensors may be used either as a self-recording instrument, or as a real-time Met-Ocean observing network. This versatility is available without the extra cost associated with a custom solution.

Aanderaa systems for the environmental research communities include Seaguard RCM/CTD, Recording Doppler Current Profiler, automatic weather stations, wave and tide stations and buoy systems. Stand-alone sensors are available for measuring parameters such as conductivity, temperature, pressure, oxygen, wave and tide, currents and water level

Ocean Currents

Ocean water currents are driven by winds, tides and density differences. The ocean circulation regulates the earth's climate by transporting heat. The flowing water affects offshore and coastal construction and also carries particles, animals, plants, nutrients, pollutants and dissolved gases. The acoustic doppler technique has become the preferred technology for most users measuring ocean current, because it is robust, needs no calibrations, can be used for both point (RCM) and profiling (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) measurements and is basically insensitive to fouling.

Real-Time Data Delivery

Marine data is only useful once it reaches its intended end user. A reliable data management and delivery system starts with sensors and instruments that enable end-to-end data transmission of rich data sets.

Ocean Waves

Surface waves are formed by winds either locally as "wind waves" with shorter periods, or further away as “swell" with longer periods. A rare case of extremely long period of ocean waves are tsunamis from e.g. earthquakes and landslides. Because ocean waves can travel far and can contain high energy it is important to measure ocean waves to understand their impact on shipping fishing, tourism, constructions, shorelines, water mixing, sediment resuspension, gas exchange etc.

Acoustic Based Wave

The acoustic based wave instrument, SeaGuardII DCP Wave, the swiss army knife of ADCPs with the possibility to measure Ocean Waves, Ocean Currents, Tide and Water quality all from one single instrument.

Motion Based Waves

Accurate Motion Based wave measurements are critical in applications such as offshore wind farm development, navigation, cable laying, breakwater building, and bridge construction.

Single Sensors

Aquatic environments are constantly changing. Regardless if you model effects of climate change on a global scale, operate an aquaculture facility, study the impact of human activities in the coastal zone, spreading of pollution, ecosystem changes, or are involved in coastal or off-shore constructions, measurements of relevant water quality parameters are fundamental to understand ongoing changes and risks and make it possible to calibrate and verify mathematical models.

We also offer high quality information to improve the safety of the offshore operations for more than 40 years.

Today's exploration and development sites are located in the deep ocean or in Arctic regions with harsh environmental conditions, making it increasingly difficult to operate.

Since the 1970's Aanderaa has offered crane load monitoring and safety systems through the MIPEG brand. It has become an industry standard for offshore crane load monitoring and safety systems.

Being engineered together with more than 40 international crane manufacturers, the MIPEG systems are used by more than 170 operators worldwide. The systems are currently in use on more than 2000 offshore installations

Mipeg Crane Monitoring System

Lifting operations at sea is to be regarded as a critical and in some cases difficult and dangerous. An offshore crane is the “life line” between the offshore installation/vessel and the supply chain onshore.

Mipeg X Compact - The Safe Load Indicator System

The unit is based upon the MIPEG X system concept, offering a smaller, less complex system with reduced features using a 7” color touch screen display.

Hook Position Indicator

The Mipeg X system monitors the hook position. The display will give a clear visual indication of the hook with different reference points.

Boom Angle Sensor

The boom angle is measured and calculated/converted to show the operating radius to the crane driver.

Slew Operation Limiter - OLM

The Mipeg X system can easily include the Slew Operation Limiter by adding software and the actual sensor.

Wind Speed and Direction System

With Mipeg X you can integrate 3rd parties analogue sensors. By adding interface logic and software, new features can be incorporated.

Safe Reach Display

The Mipeg X is expandable and flexible. The Safe Reach Indicator may be selected and displayed as a standard option in the Safe Load Indicator package.

Operator's Display

The Mipeg X system uses a graphical color, touch screen display. The unit is programmed and operates as a highly flexible and expandable unit.

Load Hoist and Moment Sensors

State of the art strain sensor utilizing a unique, frequency based method.

Automatic Overload Protection System - AOPS

Our AOPS system solution is built to comply with the EN 13852-1. Any AOPS has to be designed in close cooperation with the Crane OEM or other person with similar knowledge to make sure that the combined solution meet the requirement.

Roll and Pitch - Vessel Movement

If there are limitations in the safe lifting due to vessel roll and pitch, the Mipeg X is now ready to monitor and alarm if the vessel moves outside the crane rated roll and pitch limits.

Telescope Crane System

Most cranes used in the Oil and Gas offshore market have a fixed boom length. Some lattice boom cranes may change the length by adding/removing a boom section. Some box booms may, however, be a telescope boom crane.

Mipeg Data Delivery

The Mipeg X is a crane monitoring system which is monitoring and logging the crane load cycles. The system is an event recorder which mean that no recording is done when the crane is idle.

Mipeg X Annunciator Panel

Mipeg X is adding a new exciting feature to the Crane Load Monitoring System. Please welcome the crane engine monitoring annunciator panel.
