Measure
Modular buoys capture the ocean conditions relevant to each location, project and route.
Ocean intelligence for transportation
From research projects to route optimization at scale.
Floature began by building modular ocean-data buoys for researchers. Today, that sensing network is becoming a decision platform for large transportation companies—turning live maritime conditions into clearer, more efficient routes.

One platform. Two proven foundations.
Keep the scientific depth.
Add commercial speed.
Our research heritage stays at the core: configurable hardware, robust ocean measurements and direct platform access. For shipping companies, Floature adds route-specific interpretation and optimization—so data becomes an operational advantage, not another dashboard.
The Floature platform
From the water to the route decision.
Floature connects modular ocean sensing with a software layer designed around one practical question: what should the vessel do next?
Connect
Measurements are consolidated into a route-level data stream through the Floature platform.
Optimize
Voyager turns analyzed conditions into recommended routes built for operational decision-making.
Built for different decisions
Research flexibility.
Commercial clarity.
Researchers need the freedom to configure sensing hardware and interpret raw measurements. Transportation companies need focused information for specific routes. Floature supports both—without forcing either customer into the wrong product.
