Things to know before you buy AUV & ROV solutions

AUV

Battery life is so good, our AUV uses the SeaBat’s data storage for all the onboard systems during a survey. And when we return to pick it up, sometimes days later, we know that all that juicy survey data will still be intact.

Low power consumption

This is one of the chief concerns for AUV operators. Our AUV gear uses extremely efficient onboard systems and a low-power standby mode that you can wake up by remote control.

Standardised parts for easy integration

Our SONAR systems slot into a broad range of interfaces from other manufacturers. You can even use your Internet connection to control the onboard SONAR.

Efficient use of time

Your onboard RESON gear gives you the option to push bathymetric data to the AUV storage or to interface with third-party sensors and use the SONAR data storage for all the onboard systems.

Excellent buoyancy and balance

Our lightweight SONAR gear won’t make launching and recovering your AUV any trickier. And, once in the water, RESON gear exhibits close to neutral buoyancy.

Optimal fit

When it comes to integrating your RESON gear with the AUV, we’ll make sure the fit is seamless – regardless of whether your AUV is a torpedo or flat-fish type.

ROV

Some 40m below sea-level, our ROV is flying over a thirty-million-Euro underwater pipeline. Setting up the SONAR on the ROV took just two hours. Conditions on the surface are a little rough, distorting the water column. But the quality of real-time data’s so high we know we can make a snap decision on the spot if we see a problem with the pipe. And that can help us make huge savings.

Industry-leading data quality

Like a great photo that you barely have to touch in Photoshop, RESON gear will save you time editing data after your survey. With a well-tuned system, you might only need to edit 0.5% of your harvested data.

Reliable performance

On a remote offshore platform, downtime is not an option. RESON gear is proven in the field, and if something does go awry, we’ll get a support guy out to you within hours, no matter how remote your location.

Resilient and robust

After 20 years of supplying SONAR gear to the offshore industry, we know how tough our gear has to be. It’s not just the conditions offshore; it’s the rough treatment the gear gets from guys who throw heavy machinery around for a living.

Clear upgrade paths

Rental companies prefer to deal in RESON gear because we have the industry’s most comprehensive product range with clear upgrade paths between different types and generations of systems.

Agile interface with ROVs

One day your ROV is supporting a diving team; the next it’s inspecting a pipe run… with so many tasks, swapping out onboard systems needs to be fast – but not furious. Our SONAR gear uses standard interfaces, so setting up your ROV for the next job is always straight forward.

These are just a few of the ways RESON gear can help you achieve your survey goals. Contact us, and we’ll help you put together an unbeatable expedition-ready solution.
