BMT Releases Interactive Asset Data Platform

BMT has released BMT Deep, an advanced interactive asset data platform that stores, manages, integrates, post-processes and visualizes vast datasets for offshore assets, the company said in a news release.

Designed by offshore marine professionals, BMT described the platform as “interactive, intuitive and facilitates the exploration of data—from multiple sensor time series to post-processed and statistical data, from a single asset or a fleet, throughout its operational history.”

Data are stored, managed and processed in the secure environment provided by BMT, according to the release.

“Using AI [artificial intelligence] and machine learning, we have been able to build advanced models that reinforce the platform’s capabilities,” Soma Maroju, product development lead for BMT Deep, said in the release. “Couple this with our extensive global network of in-house naval architects, ocean engineers, data scientists and metocean consultants, we can deliver a robust platform that improves the design, operability and integrity of offshore assets.”

Kongsberg Develops New Sonar For Small Observation Class ROVs

Kongsberg Mesotech has released multibeam sonar technology designed for small observation class ROVs.

Called Flexview, the sonar provides distortion-free images at a range of up to 200 m (656 ft) over a 140-degree sector, reducing the time it takes to search for and locate targets, Kongsberg said in a news release.

“The Flexview’s removable transducer is the first of its kind, offering field replacement of a damaged transducer in the unlikely event of a catastrophic impact,” the company said. “It also allows potential new transducer configurations to be exchanged in the future, depending on the job being performed.”
