iXBlue Launches ROVINS NANO

iXBlue is launching ROVINS NANO, an inertial navigation system designed for ROV navigation. 

Based on iXBlue’s fiber optic gyroscope technology, ROVINS NANO has been designed for ROV pilots performing maintenance and construction operations. It offers the stability and accuracy of the inertial position, outputting true north, roll, pitch and rotation rates. Paul Wysocki, iXBlue ROVINS NANO Product Manager, said: “ROVINS NANO is able to directly transmit the ROV’s position with extreme accuracy thanks to its integrated INS algorithm capable of collecting acoustic data. This is now possible regardless of the depth at which it is located: it is therefore not just an evolution, but rather a revolution for the Middle Water Station Keeping”.

ROVINS NANO adapts itself to its user: the configuration, installation and product’s use have been considerably facilitated, while incorporating a system as complex as the INS. The ultimate goal? The pilot forgets the very existence of the product when maneuvering. Moreover, thanks to its compactness, lightness and open architecture with all third-party sensors, ROVINS NANO is designed to be easy to integrate.
