BALI

Compact and self-contained, BALI is an easy-to-operate, single-rod bathymetric measurement system. This lightweight bathymetry kit combines a single-beam bathymetric echosounder with a RTK GNSS receiver. It processes and stores water depth measurements synchronized with a georeferenced position with centimeter-level accuracy, even in difficult areas.

/ 6 reasons to chose BALI

Compact

Ultra-portable and easy to set up by a single operator. The kit includes 2 cables and 3 poles, it is quick to assemble and can be easily carried in its case. Bali’s built-in NiMH battery provides up to 10 hours of use.

Connected

The smart antenna is integrated with all the necessary telecommunication equipment to ensure a high level of connectivity to different types of radio networks: 3G, UHF and Wi-Fi.

Responsive

Real-time monitoring and wireless remote control is possible by connecting a PC, tablet or smartphone to the Wi-Fi access point integrated in the kit.

Accuracy

GNSS and UHF/GSM technologies are directly integrated into the antenna and allow to carry out surveys with real-time centimeter-level accuracy (RTK). The echosounder provides depth measurement with an accuracy of 0.2 %. Its transducer with an integrated temperature sensor adjusts the measured water height in real time.

Easy to use

Hydrographic operations are very intuitive. No PC or hydrography software is required, a simple Smartphone is needed to connect via Wi-Fi to the internal web server.

Security

The nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery is known to be much more stable than lithium ion and is safer to store and transport.

/ Precision bathymetry, accessible to all

BALI is an all-in-one bathymetric echosounder, designed to allow everyone—communities, technicians, managers of water bodies or structures — to perform depth surveys in a simple, fast and reliable way.  Designed for autonomous use, BALI does not require any software or specific technical skills: everything is done via an integrated web interface, accessible directly from a smartphone, tablet or computer. The system connects via Wi-Fi and is easily controlled, even in the field.

Thanks to its compact suitcase, BALI can be carried everywhere and quickly deployed on all types of boats (canoe, light boat, float…). It integrates all the necessary elements: sounder, GNSS antenna, inertial unit, web interface and rechargeable battery, for immediate use, without complex preparation.  In a few minutes, the bathymetric sounder is deployed to start depth measurements on a river, lake, port or canal, and view data in real time. At the end of the mission, the data is exportable directly from the interface and ready to be used in your usual tools.

With BALI, bathymetry becomes simple and accessible, without compromising on accuracy. It is the ideal tool for all those who need to monitor or map funds, without relying on an external provider or complex equipment.
