The On-Deck Data System is a monitoring system intended for the automated collection of mid-water and bottom data by commercial fishermen. The data loggers are attached to fishing gear (typically traps, nets or long-lines) and data is wirelessly transferred to the Deck Data Hub when the fishing gear is on deck. The Deck Data Hub automatically stores the data and transfers it to a remote AWS server by a 4G cellular modem. The dissolved oxygen & temperature data can be viewed by the fisherman locally on the Deck Data Hub's 7-inch touchscreen display. The data can also be consumed by other web based dashboards such as the MA Division of Marine Fisheries near real-time dashboard for the Cape Cod Study Fleet.
Multiple data loggers can be used with one Deck Data Hub. The OTD Data Logger measures orientation, temperature and depth. The DOT-2 Data Logger measure dissolved oxygen and temperature.
