AXYS Technologies (AXYS) is a highly regarded Canadian company with over forty years' experience designing, manufacturing, and supplying remote real-time environmental monitoring systems that collect data via instrumented buoys or monitoring stations throughout the world. Camosun Innovates (CI), the Camosun College (CC) applied research and development hub, has a long history of working with marine industries, including those involved in remote data gathering and telemetry monitoring. Housed within CI is the Camosun Technology Access Centre (CTAC), one of sixty such centres across Canada and the first in BC, with more than a ten-year focus on advanced manufacturing.AXYS is embarking on the design and outfitting of a new product, the WindSeeker buoy, which utilizes the Sealite Atlantic 3000 hull, 3m diameter modular ocean platform. Important features of the center float section include 500-1000kg of concrete ballast (AXYS configuration dependent) and two large stainless-steel turnbuckle rods that support the mooring load and provide adequate strength for lifting. AXYS seeks to outfit the WindSeeker with a custom fuel system designed, built, and tested with the required monitoring instrumentation and able to run uninterrupted for at least twelve (12) months without being refueled or requiring any other intervention by the AXYS team. While deployed in an offshore marine environment, the WindSeeker buoy must be self-sufficient in the supply of electrical energy that is required by the instruments, sensors, and communication modules. Most of the energy will be generated using wind and solar power supplies built into the buoy, however a backup fuel system is required to ensure uninterrupted power when wind and solar are not available.AXYS and CI will work together to analyze the challenges associated with long term data gathering platforms, the difficulties of design and manufacturing, and the subsequent testing of the platform in real world situations. Specifically, this project will yield a custom fuel system tailored to the physical requirements of the new WindSeeker buoy, capable of providing the buoy with a minimum of twelve (12) months uninterrupted supplementary energy for AXYS' marine monitoring equipment

AXYS Technologies（AXYS）是一家备受推崇的加拿大公司，拥有四十多年的设计、制造和供应远程实时环境监测系统的经验，这些系统通过全球的仪表浮标或监测站收集数据。Camosun Innovates（CI）是Camosun学院（CC）的应用研究和开发中心，与海洋工业合作历史悠久，包括参与远程数据收集和遥测监测的海洋工业。位于CI内的是Camosun技术访问中心（CTAC），这是加拿大60个此类中心之一，也是不列颠哥伦比亚省的第一个，专注于先进制造超过十年。AXYS正在着手设计和装配新产品WindSeeker浮标，该浮标采用Sealite Atlantic 3000船体，直径3米的模块化海洋平台。中心浮体部分的重要特征包括500- 1000 kg混凝土压载（取决于AXYS配置）和两个大型不锈钢螺丝扣杆，用于支撑系泊载荷并提供足够的起吊强度。AXYS寻求为寻风者配备定制的燃料系统，该系统经过设计、制造和测试，并配备了所需的监控仪器，能够不间断地运行至少十二（12）个月，而无需加油或需要AXYS团队进行任何其他干预。当部署在近海海洋环境中时，WindSeeker浮标必须在仪器、传感器和通信模块所需的电能供应方面自给自足。大部分的能源将使用内置在浮标中的风能和太阳能电源产生，但是需要一个备用燃料系统，以确保在风能和太阳能不可用时不间断供电。AXYS和CI将共同分析与长期数据收集平台相关的挑战，设计和制造的困难，以及随后在真实的世界情况下对平台的测试。 具体而言，该项目将产生一个定制的燃料系统，该系统根据新的寻风浮标的物理要求量身定制，能够为AXYS的海洋监测设备提供至少十二（12）个月的不间断补充能量
