PELAGIS
enhances the reliability of its marine observation missions with Getac rugged computers
Challenge
Marine observation involves sometimes extreme conditions, aboard aircraft or ships. In order to ensure the continuity of readings by observers on board small aircraft flying over the sea, PELAGIS needed to find equipment that could withstand heat, humidity and vibrations while guaranteeing the reliability of scientific data collection.
Solution
PELAGIS chose Getac V110 and B360 rugged computing solutions for their performance, robustness and compatibility with on-board measuring instruments, ensuring reliable data entry and transfer in the field for the collection of observations. Indeed, this mission is part of PELAGIS' activities, whether by air or by boat.
Advantages
Thanks to the reliability, light weight and software stability of Getac products, PELAGIS can now carry out its aerial and maritime observation missions without interruption, regardless of weather conditions. The Getac rugged solutions used also stand out for their ergonomics, making data entry easy and fast even in confined spaces such as aeroplanes.
« Getac computing solutions allow us to collect data at sea and in flight under extreme conditions. Their ruggedness and reliability are essential assets for our scientific missions.»

About PELAGIS
The PELAGIS observatory is a support and research unit of La Rochelle University and the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research) whose objective is to work towards the conservation of marine birds and mammals.
Through observations at sea, data collection, and biological analyses of marine birds and mammals, PELAGIS provides society with information that is essential for the protection of biodiversity. Faced with an increase in dolphin strandings on the Atlantic coast, the observatory is at the forefront of responding to societal challenges.
