Panama City, Fla.-based DeTect Inc. has received a 2008 Green Dot Award Honorable Mention for its MERLIN SCADA bird mortality risk mitigation radar technology.
The MERLIN SCADA technology allows the MERLIN Avian Radar System to function as an early warning system, providing advance detection of bird activity that presents mortality risk, automatically engaging response mitigation actions up to and including idling of wind turbines until the risk passes.
The Green Dot Awards recognizes businesses and technologies that meet the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
MERLIN is a self-contained, fully mobile and automated ornithological radar system that includes specialized bird and bat detection and tracking software, an onboard operator/equipment cabin, power and a data/communications uplink for unattended 24-7 operation.
