New fishing strategies offered by TURBO TACTIC®
SODENA has been actively pursuing the development of innovative technical solutions for professional fishermen over the last 25 years and now announces the coming release of TURBO TACTIC®, masterpiece of its new generation software.
Engaged for more than 3 years in crucial technological developments for the profession, within the French “Maritime Competitiveness” field and in partnership with the research institutes and universities of Brittany, a new fishing concept has taken form with the arrival of this new tool, significantly more complete and professional than the solutions existing on the market.
As the viability of fishing enterprises now rests on cost reduction (fuel, equipment wear), and better product value (quality and selectivity), the skipper must now consider more and more complex technical and economic factors.
To face these difficulties SODENA offers its new concept in fishing software, TURBO TACTIC®, a “decision making” tool, taking into account the overall operation and navigational parameters: acoustic detection, Radar/AIS/Navigation, Power, Trawl net control, Catch ratio, etc…
For the first time on the market, the skipper has all the information available on his navigation software, making it a real “Tactical” package.
The numerous available “sensors” are connected and the data displayed is correlated.
For a better catch selection
Taking the acoustic data from Wassp multi-beam technology directly into account, TURBO TACTIC® enables placement of the trawl net as close as possible to the identified and qualified zones by GEONET®, a “surgical” trawl net placement control. This tool enables position control using sensors placed in the trawl net. The skipper can then choose targeted, high value catches.
Control and respect for the environment
The quality of multi-beam measurement and processing by this new SODENA software enables very precise qualification of the seabed. TURBO TACTIC® is able to take into account most of the available single-beam sensors (JRC, Seascan, Roxan) to perform seabed analysis operations, and the association with Wassp today probably constitutes the fastest and most accurate solution to qualify the sub-sea environment.
This understanding of the environment makes limited trawling in defined zones possible. The benefits in terms of energy consumption, waste, work safety and respect for resources are clear.
Lastly, TURBO TACTIC® is linked to SODENA LOGBOOK, a statistical catch analysis tool (size, weight and species).
TURBO TACTIC® therefore enables a profitable and sustainable fishing strategy to be established and applied.
Far reaching functional developments around the ECDIS core
“Our new ECDIS standard product, ensuring reliability and navigational safety, is the result of our experience with fishing fleets throughout the world and offers numerous optional applications according to the exact requirements of the skipper” explains Mr. Patrick SAUVIN, CEO of SODENA.
In fact, its ability to evolve makes it possible to satisfy all needs for navigation systems, bathymetry and seabed analysis, trawl net positioning, consumption analysis per net haul, display of Catsat oceanographic data, weather or catch statistics, etc…
