The Great
Barrier Reef is largely damaged due to environmental conditions and
human-induced activities.
Need to monitor pressures as well as their impact on the Great Barrier Reef and on the Australian
economy.
Necessity of scaling up coral deployment for reef restoration.
An integrated
solution (SeaSim) with all the tools necessary to better understand what the impacts of global warming are and to simulate very closely what
conditions and responses the Great Barrier Reef will face in the future.
The solution enables scaled-up
coral deployment with local PLCs, which will feed back to
the PCS 7 SCADA system.
This helps the customer to control the processes behind SeaSim.
Industrial
process automation equipment.
“The National Sea Simulator is cutting edge,
and it is about to be replicated. So that will double their value to the word
and coral reef research. […] Siemens technology has helped spawn hundreds of
corals at the National Sea Simulator.”

Saving corals through collecting precise data about influencing conditions.
Millions
of coral larvae are produced, supporting research for the future of
coral reefs worldwide.
