AISUS OFFSHORE

AISUS doesn't just provide inspection equipment—they deliver complete inspection services from data acquisition to reporting. Their custom robotic systems eliminate traditional methods, accessing hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently. Recently, they completed a full caisson inspection in 10 days instead of 30, saving 90% of costs and over £200,000 in vessel support. But the real innovation? Their interactive digital data platform. Using AI for predictive corrosion and cloud-based analysis, AISUS transforms static PDF reports into dynamic, actionable intelligence. From North Sea operations to the Middle East, they're setting a new standard for inspection excellence.

HYDRAFACT

Hydrafact's groundbreaking work helped Heriot-Watt University win the prestigious Queen's Anniversary Prize in 2015, while earning the Hydrates Lifetime Achievement Award and recognition as a top 10 UK example of chemical engineering shaping the modern world. HydraSENS provides real-time monitoring of hydrate formation by tracking gas composition changes—detecting problems before blockages develop. Deployed across offshore platforms in the North Sea, France, and the Middle East, HydraSENS delivers measurable results: reduced inhibitor usage, improved flow stability, and enhanced reliability.

ZELIM

In search and rescue, seconds matter. Zelim's ZOE system is the world's first AI-enabled platform for automatic man overboard detection. Exceeding 96% accuracy, ZOE provides automated alerts, tracking, and detection of man overboard incidents, potential collisions, and security threats. Operating locally without cloud connectivity, it's robust enough for the harshest offshore environments. Since February 2024 on the Valaris Stavanger Jack-Up rig, ZOE has enabled extended working hours, faster incident response, and safer overboard operations. ISO-certified and proven in the field, ZOE is enhancing safety and situational awareness across offshore energy.
