Connecting the Dots: From Remote Operations to Full Autonomy
latency.Both Brown and Ford could not discuss Harvest’s ‘secret sauce’ –the proprietary transmission protocol that drives Nodestream and the reported efficiency gains – but Brown said the ‘recipe’ was completely homegrown.“We've developed our technology solution 100% in-house to solve a very specific set of problems and basically enable transaction of video, audio, and data over networks where previously it would've been impossible.”(Image courtesy Harvest Technology Group Limited) Servicing Customer NeedsHarvest has a long list of
Astilleros Gondán to Build Low-emission Unmanned Surface Vessel for USV AS
. Lars Peder Solstad, CEO of Solstad Offshore comments: “In practice, this concept represents a step change in offshore operations. The collective expertise between the three JV partners, and our experience from the harsh environment of the North Sea, has allowed us to design this technology solution that can operate offshore for up to 30 days.” In operation from 2025Astilleros Gondán has been contracted to build the USV on behalf of USV AS. Delivery of the USV is expected by the end of 2024. The plan is that the USV, following offshore testing, will be ready for
Proserv to Monitor Cables at Equinor's Hywind Scotland Floating Wind Farm Using 'Disruptive' Tech
Wind Farm Sets New RecordAccording to the company, Proserv’s ECG can monitor the condition and performance of cable terminations, "an aspect needing development in the offshore wind sector.""Cable terminations are well-known for being a serious failure point and so this technology solution will scrutinize this specific key area of an asset," Proserv said.Real-time data processing During ECG’s demonstration on Hywind Scotland, BPP Cable Solutions will provide advanced real-time data processing and predictive analytics modeling.This is, according to Proserv, a
Water-based Corrosion Innovation Awarded UK Patent
Executive Officer or AGM said, “The global cost of corrosion is substantial and there is significant and growing pressure within the international coatings industry to reduce and ultimately remove the dependence on harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The move towards a water-based technology solution is a primary goal for many protective coatings innovators. Overcoming the challenge of dispersing graphene nanoplatelets into such coatings has been a significant area of development for AGM’s technical team, and I am pleased that this technology has resulted in patent coverage. This
Case Study: Acoustic Tech Help Offshore Wind Industry Adapt
; a likely prospect, as the efficiency and size of turbines increases and companies gain more experience of building floating windfarms. Partrac is a leading provider of data for offshore wind sites, such as this one near Blyth in northeastern England. The company’s floating lidar technology solution, seen in action here, provides reliable and robust wind and oceanographic data, permitting excellent data availability even in rough weather
