Innovation
Our Innovation and Development
Digitalisation, Automation and Artificial Intelligence Applied to Offshore Engineering
Digital simulation and weather limits
Weather limits are established through extensive digital simulations that model an operation, test many what-if scenarios and quantify safe operating windows.
Specialists working with automation and AI
Automation and artificial intelligence are most valuable when they work alongside experienced engineers, expanding analysis without replacing professional judgement.
Faster analysis and greater uptime
Our research and development makes analysis faster and more accurate, broadens the scenarios a specialist can assess and helps reduce wait-on-weather.
Our software
KomodoXpert
Offshore lift analysis and weather-window planning in one tool.
It predicts crane and rigging loads from the splash zone to the seabed, and tells you which sea states each lift can be done in.
Sectors We Engage
Precision. Intelligence. Efficiency. In every sector we engage.
