PingMe is a unique decision-support tool for precision fishing, providing the fishing industry with real-time insights into both environmental conditions and fishing gear below the surface. PingMe devices are attached directly to the fishing gear before it is deployed at sea, and feature integrated sensors for position, temperature, depth, and current conditions — with real-time communication to the fishing vessel. This enables fishers to monitor the position of their gear throughout the entire fishing process, including:
PingMe makes advanced hydroacoustic decision support accessible to a larger share of the fishing fleet, contributes to safer operations, and lays the foundation for more efficient and sustainable fishing with lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. When many fishers adopt PingMe, it also creates a valuable data foundation for marine research and sustainable resource management. The result is a stronger, safer foundation for the future of the fishing industry.

PingMe provides real-time position of the grapnel during recovery operations. This makes it easier to locate lost fishing gear more quickly, while reducing fuel consumption
Monitor the position, depth, ambient temperature, and current conditions of pots. Reduce gear loss and prevent ghost fishing.
Maintain full visibility of the line’s location and movement to minimize loss, drift, tangles, and catch loss.
Monitor position, time when both wings have reached the bottom, and net closure in real time. Optimize operations and avoid lost time and catch.
Improve visibility during night and low-visibility operations. Prevent net jamming and operate the purse seine more safely and efficiently.
Monitor the net’s position and depth to avoid entangling and reduce gear loss. Temperature data makes it easier to locate the target species.
Locate lost gear faster and reduce environmental impact. Protect fish stocks and the marine environment.
