Moxá Design isn't just consulting: it also develops proprietary products, applying the same hardware+firmware approach to different markets. SailSensor is the patented sensor ecosystem for smart sailing, already on the market. Cycle (TC-1 and Ciclo BC-1) is the instrumentation line for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder testing, available on request with 15-day delivery. HullTrim brings the same inertial technology to powerboats, for trim and propeller comparison, still in development.
Inertial and pressure sensors, a companion app, an ultrasonic anemometer and an NMEA2000 bridge. All devices communicate via BLE advertising in ultra-low-power mode, with product-specific battery life; BoomAngle provides 1–2 seasons. Two UIBM patents already filed on the ecosystem. The official site where it's presented and sold is www.sailsensor.it.
Measures the boom angle in real time through two inertial sensors and differential quaternion fusion. BLE advertising, ultra-low power consumption, IP67 marine housing. The differential fusion automatically cancels the drift of the individual IMUs, ensuring stable accuracy even after hours of use.
Differential pressure sensor for measuring sail efficiency. It integrates with SailTrim Helper to provide real-time data on the optimal trim. Marine housing, BLE advertising.
Companion app that receives data from the pressure sensor and from BoomAngle. It calculates sail efficiency, upwind/downwind modes, and guides the sailor toward the optimal trim in real time.
Ultrasonic anemometer with a reflector design. Zero moving parts, it measures wind speed and direction reliably. Ideal for permanent onboard installations.
Collects data from BoomAngle and SailTrim Helper via BLE and injects it onto the boat's NMEA2000 backbone. The data becomes available on chartplotters, onboard displays and compatible navigation apps.
The technologies of the SailSensor ecosystem are available for licensing to OEMs and manufacturers in the marine and IoT sectors. Learn more about the IP strategy.
Two instruments for those who work daily with pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders: a universal stroke-time meter and a programmable test bench built for a small workshop's budget, not a plant's. Available on request, delivery in about 15 working days.
Universal stroke-time meter for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders: connects to the end-of-stroke sensors already in the customer's equipment (supplied by us on request), not tied to a specific brand. The trend over time reveals wear before failure.
Programmable test bench for pneumatic cylinders: drives the customer's own solenoid valves with potential-free relay outputs at any operating voltage, and reads the sensors already in place. Configurable test cycles and result history via PC software, at a small-workshop price.
The same patented inertial-fusion technology as BoomAngle, applied to powerboats: an app that logs acceleration, roll, pitch, yaw and top speed to trim the hull and compare propellers objectively, not by feel. Still to be developed: if distributed outside the Google Play Store, timelines could be short.
Android and iOS app (unlike the only direct competitor identified, iOS-only) with an optional external BLE sensor for greater accuracy. A dedicated propeller-comparison feature with objective multi-run logs.
Our proprietary products show how we connect electronics, firmware and software. Explore the SailSensor case for the technical development behind the product.
Read the development caseNot just companies. We design hardware and firmware solutions for private individuals too, who face real everyday problems for which no adequate commercial product exists.
If you have a clear idea of the problem but don't know where to start, write to us: we assess the technical feasibility free of charge and propose a concrete path, with defined costs and timelines.
Tell us about your problemAdding sensors, telemetry or smart functions to existing boats. Integration with onboard systems, NMEA2000 and dedicated displays.
Monitoring, alarm or control systems for sailing and motor boats. Integration with NMEA2000 and existing systems.
Sensing stations for temperature, humidity, air quality, energy consumption. Data on the cloud or on a dedicated app.
What commercial systems can't do: custom logic, integration with non-standard hardware, proprietary protocols.
Wearable sensors for sports performance, rehabilitation or research. Custom hardware for needs that consumer devices don't cover.
If none of the categories above describes your situation exactly, it doesn't matter. Contact us anyway: we assess everything.
