Project aim: develop a brand new version of our Aquaprobe that can be permanentlysubmerged in any body of water for long periods of time, without succumbing to bio fouling,allowing quality data to be collected. In order to achieve this we will use materials completelynew to the industry, and to utilise cutting edge electronics to prevent bio fouling. We also planto develop 12 brand new sensors and to develop our own telemetry system. The telemetrysystem will send users data direct to a secure server where they can log on and view data fromanywhere in the world. Aquaread are a small team of 6 highly skilled staff with a diverse setof backgrounds. We have proven by the successful release of our flag ship products, theAquameter & Aquaprobe multiparameter water quality water testing instrument, and by thefast release of four brand new products in our first year of trading, that we are very capable ofbringing new innovative products effectively to market. We are the only company in the UKmanufacturing this type of instrument. Our products are sold globally via our large distributornetwork of 65 companies, we estimate over 90% of our business is export. We intend toincrease our product range to offer both portable probes and probes designed for long termdeployment. Probes designed for long term deployment have to be able to withstand corrosionand some how be protected from biological growth from organisms such as Algae; known asbiofouling. Biofouling affects all sensors that record data under water for long periods of time,thus it is a problem for the entire market. Currently there are attempts at cleaningmechanisms, however it is widely accepted that these are not effective. The combination ofthe successful cleaning mechanism, new anti fouling materials, 12 brand new cutting edgesensors and a 3G telemetric data transmission system, will make this a ground breakingproduct which will lead the world in water testing equipment.

项目目标：开发一种全新版本的Aquaprobe，它可以长期浸泡在任何水体中，不会产生生物污染，从而收集到高质量的数据。为了实现这一目标，我们将使用业界全新的材料，并利用尖端的电子设备来防止生物污染。我们还计划开发12个全新的传感器，并开发我们自己的遥测系统。遥测系统将把用户的数据直接发送到一个安全的服务器上，用户可以在那里登录并查看来自世界任何地方的数据。Aquaread是一个由6名具有不同背景的高技能员工组成的小团队。我们的旗舰产品aquameter & Aquaprobe多参数水质测试仪的成功发布，以及在我们第一年的交易中快速发布的四款全新产品，证明了我们非常有能力将新的创新产品有效地推向市场。我们是英国唯一一家生产这种类型仪器的公司。我们的产品通过我们的65家公司的大型分销网络销往全球，我们估计超过90%的业务是出口。我们打算增加我们的产品范围，提供便携式探头和设计用于长期部署的探头。为长期部署而设计的探针必须能够承受腐蚀，并且在某种程度上能够防止藻类等生物的生长；asbiofouling。生物污垢影响所有在水下长时间记录数据的传感器，因此这是整个市场的问题。目前有一些清洁机制的尝试，但人们普遍认为这些机制并不有效。成功的清洗机制，新型防污材料，12个全新的尖端传感器和3G遥测数据传输系统的结合，将使这款开创性的产品成为世界领先的水检测设备。
