HALL OF FAME
An AUV offering hydrographic surveying capabilities alongside subsea pipeline inspection services.
The pioneer of subsea external pipeline inspection method through AI-enabled inspection class Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) named XPLORER, which has been developed by ROVULA. This technology purposes to reduce operating costs by eliminating the need for a costly supporting DP II vessel as it does not require the vessel to be positioned the vicinity of a platform. The XPLORER will pave the way for the creation of ecosystem for Subsea Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM) in the future.
The XPLORER can eliminate the need of DP II Vessel in operation which reduces the operating cost ~50% comparing to conventional method. Furthermore, XPLORER's operation will pave the way for creating a subsea eco-system of Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance in the future.
