Underwater Inspection Drones
The Syncrolift Underwater Drone (SUD) is the latest innovation designed to empower shipyards with unparalleled underwater inspection, maintenance, and operational capabilities. Built with Syncrolift's legacy of reliability and advanced technology, the SUD is tailor-made for shipyard environments, streamlining operations and maximizing productivity.
Underwater drones are used by all Norwegian Syncrolift shipyards for checking vessel hull and the fit to the blocking, i.e. avoid collission or surprises. The operator of the Drone will see whatever the Drone camera sees, and the operation can be recorded for documentation.
Key Benefits for Shipyards:
-
Underwater access - Redefines:
SUD enables underwater inspections of shiplifts, docks, and vessel hulls. For shiplifts, inspecting lower sheaves, scanning of siltation below platform are just some of the SUD advantages. eliminating the need for manual dives and reducing inspection time significantly. Its advanced imaging and sensors ensure
precise detection of wear, damage, or fouling. -
Cost and Time Savings:
Syncrolift's underwater drones can be pre-programmed to quickly follow pre-defined paths for inspection. Its rapid deployment and real-time data transmission accelerate maintenance decision-making, ensuring operations remain efficient and cost-effective. -
Increased Safety:
Underwater drones reduce risks to human divers. Its robust design and autonomous navigation capabilities ensure safe and reliable performance even in challenging underwater conditions. -
Versatile Applications:
From structural assessments of transfer systems to cleaning and inspections of submerged shiplift components, the SUD adapts seamlessly to various underwater tasks, ensuring consistent performance and versatility. -
Data-Driven Insights:
Equipped with cutting-edge sensors and analytics, the SUD provides actionable insights, helping shipyards optimize maintenance schedules and reduce unplanned outages.
