Sensor and imaging systems and IoT are important elements in implementing wider digital offshore strategies. Data is transformed into critical business information, bringing costs savings, increasing operational uptime and supporting strategic decision making. Potential application areas From generating efficiencies in maintenance through condition monitoring of remote equipment, to gathering more detailed information than ever before from AUVs and other submersibles, the possibilities are endless. The even better news is that it brings more than just an operational upside, e.g., reducing human intervention with equipment supports the health and safety of employees and sensors measuring and reporting round the clock can generate better insight into wider system performance when viewed in the context of a whole production plant. Ruggedised sensors offering high quality information on temperature, pressure, oil quality and chemistry, phase flows and leaks. Long-term asset management and maintenance, e.g., the remote detection of corrosion under insulation removes the need for physical surveys and ensures downtime is minimised and equipment remains reliable. Advanced condition monitoring to identify trends and flag failures before they happen. Portable or autonomous devices as sensor platforms allowing image acquisition and analysis through machine vision systems and the remote deployment of instrumentation for non-destructive testing We’ve supported and worked on a number of projects in subsea, offshore and marine environments.
