NaviSuite Mobula software automatically steering a Defender ROV and performing an inspection

EIVA’s complete ROV subsea inspection and control software solution is bringing a new user experience to VideoRay Defender ROVs.

”Our partnership goes back years – we’ve always been very impressed with EIVA’s technology and innovation,” said Scott Bentley, CEO of VideoRay.

”By integrating our ROVs with NaviSuite Mobula software, the two technologies combine to provide the most effective solution for many survey and search missions.”

Clever tech

VideoRay’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Defender model is now powered by NaviSuite Mobula software. With this software, operators of Defender ROVs can benefit from a high degree of automation during planning, inspection and reporting.

The software aims to strengthen ROV platforms by providing high-performance, advanced steering capabilities and tools to create comprehensive data deliverables, such as 3D models, at an affordable price and within an interface that is easy to configure to the operator’s needs.

This makes for an effective solution for inspections of offshore wind turbine foundations, harbours and subsea assets, as well as UXO surveys and habitat mapping.

NaviSuite Mobula is a plug-and-play ROV software package with many advanced features for automatically and efficiently planning and performing inspections. The software for example provides automated navigation options that make use of the wide range of positioning sensors supported. Users can achieve even more autonomy by working with EIVA’s team to integrate automatic target registration with NaviSuite Deep Learning – thereby ensuring they don’t miss any details during inspections.

The software enables efficient piloting not only through automated navigation, but by helping operators gain situational awareness with a user-defined GUI that allows for simultaneous views of for example 2D, 3D and 4D model visualisations. 

It is currently available ’off the shelf‘ as an extended option with Defender units and existing VideoRay customers can easily replace their current software with NaviSuite Mobula.
