Saipem is leading the transformation in subsea operations with its new generation of drones, designed to improve efficiency and sustainability in extreme environments. These advances highlight the company’s commitment to technological innovation and environmental protection.
Hydrones: the ultimate in underwater exploration
Saipem’s Hydrones are a fleet of underwater drones capable of diving to extreme depths and performing complex tasks autonomously. These robots, designed to operate in a wide range of sectors, from offshore energy to aquaculture, offer a sustainable and efficient solution for inspecting subsea infrastructure monitoring water quality and performing salvage tasks.
[post_relacionado]With a range of up to 100 km and the ability to dive up to 3000 meters deep and operate for months without supervision, Hydrones represent a major leap forward in underwater robotics opening up new possibilities for ocean exploration and development.
Hydrone-S or FlatFish
The FlatFish a hybrid vehicle between ROV and AUV, redefines subsea inspection. Capable of autonomous operation, this drone minimizes human intervention, optimizing resources and significantly reducing the carbon footprint of operations.
Hydrone-R
With its enhanced capabilities for performing inspections and interventions through robotic arms, the Hydrone-R has been recognized for its contribution to the future of offshore energy. This model is a clear example of how technology can transform traditional methods of offshore operation.
Hydrone-W
The most powerful of the series, the Hydrone-Wis equipped to meet the toughest challenges on the seafloor. Its innovative propulsion technology enhances performance and promotes greater energy efficiency. energy efficiency during operations.
