Autonomous gardening –<br />
anywhere under the sun<br />
As part of its plans to diversify and play an increasing role in<br />
environmental conservation, Poralu Marine has joined forces<br />
with Biopratic, a fellow French company with the same values.<br />
Biopratic’s stand-alone<br />
gardening system brings<br />
container growing opportunities<br />
to the most unlikely places,<br />
such as areas with concrete<br />
and waterproofed surfaces.<br />
Poralu aims to generate<br />
momentum for the concept and<br />
increase its marketing potential.<br />
Measuring 100cm x 100cm<br />
(40in x 40in) and 35cm (14in)<br />
deep, each growing container<br />
is self-sufficient, drawing on<br />
an internal water reserve.<br />
This recovers<br />
rainwater and<br />
watering water<br />
to supply the<br />
plants, and does<br />
the watering<br />
by itself via a<br />
solar powered<br />
automatic<br />
watering kit,<br />
which can<br />
be remotely<br />
controlled.<br />

D-Marin invests<br />
in Sense4Boat<br />
Premium marina network operator D-Marin has<br />
acquired a majority stake in Sense4Boat, an<br />
Internet of Things (IoT) company focused on<br />
boat safety, as the next part of its digitalisation<br />
strategy.<br />
Sense4 Boat will provide the entire D-Marin<br />
network with a cutting-edge IoT platform to monitor<br />
all the vital parameters of docked boats and detect<br />
potential threats long before they become a real<br />
hazard.<br />
The platform is based on reliable and user friendly<br />
sensors, which enable customers to spend more<br />
time sailing and less time worrying about their boats<br />
while away from the marina. D-Marin’s digitalisation<br />
investment programme is part of the company’s main<br />
focus of enriching yachting experiences for its berth<br />
holders.<br />
The partnership will provide research and<br />
development opportunities to accelerate marina<br />
technologies and, as part of the agreement,<br />
Sense4Boat will continue to develop its platform and<br />
further scale its business across the boating, marina<br />
and insurance industries. www.d-marin.com<br />
