When India’s marine research body, INCOIS, needed to improve how it tracked ocean conditions like water quality and temperature, it turned to NORINCO, a trusted name in marine equipment. But this wasn’t just a matter of buying better hardware. The real challenge was unlocking the value of the environmental data they already had.

THE NEED

Sensors across coastal waters collected vital information on temperature, salinity, and water quality for INCOIS. But turning that data into something usable was a different story.

  • The platforms in place were not user-friendly. Scientists and researchers found it hard to interpret large datasets and trends.
  • Real-time data processing was missing, meaning delays in identifying sudden environmental changes, which could be crucial in maritime or weather-related scenarios.
  • The systems weren’t flexible enough to adapt to diverse and evolving environmental needs, limiting their usefulness over time.

What they needed was a platform that could keep up with both science and speed.

THE SOLUTION

We worked with NORINCO to create a modern web-based platform to bring INCOIS’s marine monitoring into the digital age.

Here’s what made it work:

  • Intuitive dashboards that showed dynamic graphs and gauges for parameters like salinity, temperature, and water quality.
  • Role-based access, so different users saw exactly what they needed.
  • Sensor and buoy management tools, allowing real-time tracking and deployment.
  • Customisable reports with trend analysis and predictive insights.
  • Map-based data views, which made it easier to track changes by region.

The platform was built using Microsoft .NET Core and Angular, backed by SQL Server, and supported both offshore development and on-site training for the INCOIS teams.

THE IMPACT

  • Environmental data that was once hard to read became instantly clear.
  • Teams could now respond faster to anomalies, improving weather forecasting, maritime safety, and coastal planning.
  • Researchers, policymakers, and local teams can all access reports from the same platform.
  • The system was designed to evolve, making it suitable for future research and applications.

LOOKING AHEAD

The success of this platform is a great reminder: technology should make experts more effective, not replace them. By listening to user needs and designing with clarity, NORINCO helped INCOIS take a meaningful leap forward in ocean monitoring.

It’s a model for any institution looking to make their environmental data more actionable — and their decisions more timely.
