Problem
Underwater inspections of critical infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms and subsea pipelines, are traditionally performed using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that require expensive specialized vessels and on-site personnel, leading to high operational costs, significant CO2 emissions, and potential safety risks. The data collection and analysis process can also be slow, delaying timely decision-making.
Solution
BeeX provides Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS) for underwater inspections, utilizing in-house designed hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to overcome the limitations of traditional ROV-based methods. BeeX's AUVs can support 2-3x more sensors than ROVs of comparable size. The company's integrated software suite, SAMBAL, accelerates workflows, delivering actionable data to stakeholders 2-14x faster. By automating the inspection process, BeeX eliminates the need for expensive specialized vessels and reduces the number of on-site personnel required, resulting in lower operational costs, reduced environmental impact, and improved safety.
Target Audience
BeeX serves asset owners in the maritime, energy, and defense sectors responsible for maintaining underwater infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms, subsea pipelines, and floating solar farms.
