Remote Monitoring System Delivered for The Ocean Cleanup
consumption needs for the large number of sensors and data communication on the other hand, presented another challenge. An intelligent control system was developed to meet this requirement and ensures that vital functions, such as those related to navigation, remain intact under all circumstances.Jan Frumau, Seatools’ Managing Director, said, “We are honored to contribute to this highly important, trailblazing initiative. I am confident that our system will supply The Ocean Cleanup with the extensive data required to optimize its system further. We wish the team the best of luck during
Rock Installation ROV Delivered to Van Oord
FMEA analysis, their excellent teamwork resulted in an ROV system architecture that features unprecedented redundancy levels and comes with a solid backup strategy. As a result, the ROV remains capable of performing rock installation operations even if sub-systems like the HPU motor were to fail.Jan Frumau, Seatools’ Managing Director, said, “Fruitful cooperation between the companies resulted in a cutting-edge piece of subsea equipment that features the latest innovations in the field of ROV technology. We rest assured that Van Oord will perform efficient rock installation campaigns
Seatools to Supply Monitoring System for The Ocean Cleanup
the world’s oceans from floating plastic. The group will deploy the system during trials starting later this year on the U.S. West Coast. “Besides the fact that we thoroughly support this meaningful initiative, the project is compelling from a technological viewpoint as well, said Jan Frumau, Managing Director at Seatools. “It requires a unique combination of technologies and capabilities. We will be able to make a valuable contribution to the project thanks to our extensive background in the development of measurement systems located in the splash zone, combined with our capabilities
Seatools Debuts New Dredging Monitoring Systems
that can be delivered with a range of automation modules enabling operators of all skill levels to dredge safely and maximize dredging productivity. “Since we first launched DipMate, the system gained tremendous popularity among backhoe dredger operators around the world,” said Jan Frumau, Managing Director at Seatools. “With the introduction of the fourth generation, we will now be able to serve an even larger market share. Thanks to the introduction of the DipMate Essential, Seatools proposes an economically attractive solution for small- and medium-duty excavators as well

and lightweight. Furthermore, the design’s burden on the farm’s primary operations and setup are kept at a minimum. Which is expressed by – among others – the fact that the collector can run without requiring any operator attention for up to 12 hours on end.” Jan Frumau, Managing Director at Seatools, goes on to remark, “The aquaculture industry’s inclination toward increasingly remote and hostile offshore environments begs the development of new technologies characterized by reliability, durability, and solid failure-handling strategies. Moreover
Seatools Introduces Active Heave Compensation Module
a complete turnkey system, including mechanical and hydraulic hardware. Seatools’ simulation capabilities are applied to ensure proper performance of the overall system in any sea condition and situation (including failure cases), and pre-tune the controller prior to commissioning. Jan Frumau, Managing Director at Seatools, said, “I think the combination of HeaveMate, our extensive experience and our advanced simulation capabilities results in an appropriate and strong value proposition. We are able to deliver, in a very short timeframe, highly reliable active heave compensation
Seatools to Launch Pile Dredge Tool at OTC
for its Rock Installation ROVs, has roots in the dredging industry; its portfolio of dredging equipment includes: Mass Flow Excavators; a range of trenchers with both jetting and cutting configurations; and the highly successful series of DipMate dredging visualization and control systems. Jan Frumau, Managing Director, explained, “Based on strong market demand related to pile dredging and cleaning, we have developed and reviewed several concepts for a pile dredge tool and we have now reached a breakthrough with this elegantly simple pile excavation machine. Its simplicity results in
