Blue Carbon Launches Autonomous oPod Mini Water Monitoring Solution

Brisbane company Blue Carbon launched its latest technology, the autonomous oPod mini, dockside at Manly. oPod mini is designed to continuously monitor water quality and movement anywhere in the world.

Solar-powered and fully internet-linked, the module requires no shore power or mobile coverage. Weighing only 32 kg, it can be deployed by two people from a small boat/pontoon with no crane or specialist vessel needed.

Blue Carbon has been recognised by a range of awards including the KPMG Nature Positive Challenge winner and the Accenture Australia Product Innovation Award. It is the sole Australian category semi-finalist contesting the international XPRIZE Water Scarcity award and has twice been nominated for the global Earthshot Prize. Supported by the Australian Government Industry Growth Program, Blue Carbon has also received awards from Brisbane City Council and the Hong Kong Australia Business Association.

The oPod mini will be launched on November 10 at Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club, 34 Fairlead Crescent, Manly, from 2-4pm.
