Partners Aim to Unlock More Value from Hydrographic Data
software solutions provider QPS and marine geo-information specialist TrueOcean have teamed up to develop digital workflows that they say can optimize the journey of hydrographic data from ping to cloud, by improving on traditional data sharing practices including the use of hard drives or standalone cloud services.The partners are working together to take the next steps in digitizing the data value process in offshore projects. Their focus is on building seamless integration between QPS software solutions and the new TrueOcean Marine Data Platform (MDP), with the shared objective of eliminating friction
UK: Eleven Firms Win Offshore Wind Growth Partnership Grants
.PanGeo Subsea PanGeo will undertake a demonstration project to validate a new data collection concept that supports GHG emission reductions via a smaller offshore vessel, faster data collection, and a multi-sensor survey doubling our existing data collection swath.Ryder Geotechnical Hadrian Cloud Services speeds up the analysis and interrogation of geotechnical data and allows its users to streamline offshore geotechnical surveys and construction projects. Hadrian enables responsive data driven design decisions to be made throughout a project life cycle offering increased efficiency and significant
Need a Survey? There’s a USV for That
are trying to address though bandwidth exploitation.Kongsberg’s Seatex Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) offers high bandwidth communications and direct control over 10s of km, says Mills. Telemetry, video, payload or mission data can then be rebroadcast anywhere via Kongsberg’s Kognifai cloud services. Doing this with satellite communications is a next step, but this will mean dealing with bandwidth limitations and latency. “So we will need to be more selective about what information is transmitted and what commands are available,” he says. “That may mean transferring more
HydroSurv, Sonardyne in 'Transformative' USV Tech Collab for Offshore Industry
sensing and data acquisition technologies for offshore operations.The project is part-funded by Innovate UK. HydroSurv’s REAV-40 USV will be paired with intelligent seafloor and vessel-mounted instruments from Sonardyne. These will then be used in combination with internet-based cloud- services to provide an end-to-end seabed-data-to-shore service initially targeted towards the offshore wind industry. Key elements of the project include a self-transiting USV, acoustic positioning of and data harvesting from seabed instruments, a real-time gathering of geo-referenced current
NOAA’s Cloud and Data Strategies to Unleash Emerging Science and Technologies
will seek to improve the coordination and use of emerging science and technology across the agency. The NOAA Cloud and Data strategies are foundational for each of these.The Cloud Strategy provides a common vision and guide for future cloud initiatives, building on NOAA’s past experience with cloud services. Recent NOAA cloud initiatives are already demonstrating significant potential improvements in data storage, access and analytics of environmental data in areas such as numerical weather prediction, ocean models, assessments of living marine resources, and big data analysis, storage and dissemination
Miros RangeFinder Achieves Certification
and fouling associated with submerged equipment.RangeFinder is available as an IoT-based sensor, meaning that it is truly plug-and-play, needing only power and an internet connection to provide secure local and remote real-time ocean state data to any device.The sensors can also be complimented with Cloud services from Miros, such as web displays, database integration, data processing and device management services, making weather data available to all stakeholders
