Our Innovation Lookout: WSense srl

We love groundbreaking innovation and technologies that expand bounderies and possibilities! 

WSENSE S.r.l. (https://wsense.it/) is a private company, with headquarters in Rome, Italy and branches in the UK and in Norway. There’s no doubt that small businesses will take the hardest hit from the current COVID-19 pandemic. The bigger businesses have a better chance of surviving. Small businesses tend to live only with a few months of cash flow (at most), so when something as significant as this hits, it can be devastating not only for the small business owners, but also for the employees they support.

In spite of the current challenging situation, WSense, a rapidly growing company, is charging forward, confident that their patented core technology, the IoUT (the Internet of Underwater Things) is a “game changer”, allowing us to imagine and shape a different, better and sustainable future.

WSense is confident that its IoUT technology is going to be the core enabling technology for a novel generation of Blue Economy systems and applications, as well as provide the missing ingredient to boost the Blue Economy sectors, one of the fastest growing sectors.

Through secure and adaptive underwater wireless mesh networks, WSense IoUT solutions allow divers and underwater devices (sensors, robots, actuators) to be wirelessly connected and cooperate. WSENSE has protected its technology, and has registered international patents on how to build effective underwater wireless networks.

IoUT technology allows operators to remotely control and make real-time decisions related to underwater robots, plants and infrastructures with only the tips of their fingers, regardless of the operator’s physical location.

Naturally, the obvious major applications are expected to be in the Oil & Gas and defense sectors. Yet, there are other, equally vital applications that support our future sustainability. These include responsibly growing our food underwater to support mankind population growth, as well as balancing between the need to exploit our natural resources and to respect and protect the natural habitat of many species.

In a few years WSense has grown quickly, winning many awards, including the prestigeous 2022 BlueTech Award. WSense solutions are implemented in different sectors (defense and energy, intensive aquaculture, environmental monitoring, monitoring and surveillance of marine parks and underwater cultural heritage).
