Tired of dealing with lengthy maintenance routines for ROVs? 🦍 The Gorilla ROV – a revolutionary leap in subsea exploration. With its user-maintainable open system architecture, users command unparalleled authority over equipment upkeep. Say goodbye to downtime and hello to efficiency! What makes the Gorilla ROV stand out? It's the robustness of its open system architecture, putting maintenance control squarely in the hands of the user. Embrace the Flexibility and Strength of Open System Architecture: 🥇 Industrial-Grade Hardware The Gorilla ROV's electrical system is powered by industrial-grade hardware from OMRON, ensuring reliability, ease of maintenance, and minimizing waiting times for spare parts with global availability. 🥇 Local Spare Parts With thousands of OMRON components deployed worldwide, users can purchase spare parts locally, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. 🥇 Extreme Conditions Designed to handle extreme conditions, from high current inrush during deacceleration to current overload during fast thruster direction shifts. 🥇 Precise Maneuvering With the MX2 frequency inverter controlling the thrusters, the Gorilla ROV ensures powerful and precise subsea maneuvering. 🥇 Seamless Communication The EtherCAT communication system facilitates seamless communication between electric components, ensuring reliable performance and lightning-fast response times. Harnessing a technology trusted in factories worldwide, our system ensures reliable communication and swift response, setting a new standard in subsea operations. At the heart of it all is the OMRON PLC – the brain of the system. Known for its reliability and ease of programming, the OMRON PLC makes the Gorilla ROV not just a powerful tool but a dependable partner in subsea operations. Experience the strength and reliability of the Gorilla ROV's open system architecture – because when it comes to subsea exploration, you need equipment you can count on. 🦍 Measuring 1.5 x 1 meters, the Gorilla is a formidable underwater robot, capable of descending up to 600 meters. Engineered for offshore inspection tasks like drilling platforms and wind turbines, it accommodates up to 70 kg and features an intuitive payload interface.    The Gorilla ROV team  |  Bringing Innovation to Subsea Exploration #Maritimetechnology #Subsea #Innovation #ROV #OffshoreInspection #OMRONIndustrialHardware

🎖️ 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗧𝗖! Monday was a good start, but Tuesday will be even greater for Saipem technologies at Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). Hear all about our subsea pipeline and riser technologies on the technical floor or on our booth. ☕️ The morning will start with the presentation of a technology maturity assessment on CO2 subsea sequestration, jointly performed with ExxonMobil. Kudos to Giorgio Arcangeletti and Jing Ma. 🔌 Then Antoine Marret will show how we proved that 3LPP, the most commonly used anti-corrosion material in pipelines also acts as a strong electrical insulator. Having qualified 3LPP for an all-in-one usage allows #Saipem to provide uniquely simple, robust, and affordable all-electric active heating solutions for pipelines. 🏎️ Glad to present a paper myself (#Neverlosethehighground) on how pipe-in-pipes are now laid safer and +20% faster thanks to plastic-based mechanical bulkheads. 🌊 If that’s not even enough… The Hydrone and Flatfish subsea drones are celebrating amazing operational achievements underwater in Norway and Brazil with my #Sonsub robotics colleagues. 📣 Stay tuned… More technological news in the #subsea space are to be released soon! #ribboncollector #innovation #technology

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPT) has completed the necessary engineering for Merrows, its Artificial Intelligence capable Maritime Domain Awareness Solution, to be deployed in hot climates. ☀️ The engineering efforts integrated lessons learned from current and previous deployments, including in Bahrain. 💡 These efforts were necessitated by increased interest in the solution in regions such as the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa. OPT has previously completed hot climate deployments of the WAM-Vs and is now offering its integrated Merrows solution across most of the globe. 🌊 OPT provides intelligent maritime solutions and services that enable safer, cleaner, and more productive ocean operations for the defense and security, oil and gas, science and research, and offshore wind markets. ⚡️ The company’s PowerBuoy® platforms provide clean and reliable electric power and real-time data communications for remote maritime and subsea applications. OPT also provides WAM-V® autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and marine robotics services.
