Enhancing Subsea Operations: Custom HMI Solutions for UTROV's Bespoke ROV Systems

Utility ROV Services (UTROV) is an innovative leader in providing subsea solutions for the Offshore Renewables, Interconnector, Oil & Gas, and Decommissioning industries. As an independent service provider specializing in Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs), UTROV designs, builds, and operates bespoke UTROV® systems to support subsea operations. With an emphasis on improving operational efficiency and multi-phase capability, UTROV approached us to develop a custom Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution that would enhance the accuracy and usability of their ROV systems.

Dynamic, scalable solution

To address UTROV’s requirements, we developed a series of dynamic SVG-based HMIs tailored to their custom ROV systems. The key was creating an interface that could adapt in real-time to the diverse parameters that each ROV system needs to monitor, from depth and pressure to battery life and system health. Our team worked closely with UTROV to design a dynamic, scalable solution that could visualize all the critical data in a clear and accurate manner.

The result was a set of interactive dials and gauges that were designed to automatically adjust to different types of ROV systems, providing live readings based on real-time sensor data. These dynamic elements were built using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to ensure crisp, scalable, and responsive visuals. Additionally, the HMI was designed to integrate seamlessly with the UTROV® systems to ensure no disruption in operations, allowing for quick deployment across various offshore projects.

Custom SVGHMI's

UTROV's unique ROV systems require precise control and monitoring to ensure the safe and efficient completion of complex subsea operations. However, their existing HMI lacked the capability to provide accurate, dynamic readings for the various gauges, dials, and system parameters that are critical to operations. The need for a custom solution arose, one that could display data with precision and clarity while handling multiple ROVs and their specific tasks. The challenge was to design a flexible, user-friendly HMI capable of meeting these demands while integrating seamlessly into UTROV’s bespoke systems.

Custom Dynamic Gauges

The custom-designed dynamic SVG gauges display critical operational data in real-time, ensuring precise and accurate readings.

Enhanced Efficiency

By allowing for remote control and monitoring of multiple ROVs simultaneously, the HMI eliminates the need to mobilize multiple spreads of equipment, reducing operational costs and improving overall efficiency.

Multi-phase Capability

The solution’s ability to handle multiple phases of a project with just one central system enables better coordination between teams and equipment, improving response times and reducing risks.

Seamless Integration

The HMI was designed to easily integrate with UTROV’s bespoke ROV systems, allowing for quick deployment and minimal disruption to existing operations.

User-friendly Interface

The interface was built with user experience in mind, ensuring that operators can quickly and intuitively monitor and control ROV systems during complex subsea operations.

Results & Impact

"this is a quote form Alan about how fantastic we are"

The custom HMI solution has significantly improved UTROV's operational efficiency. Operators can now monitor multiple ROV systems from a single interface, enabling them to respond faster to changing conditions. The ability to read critical data in real-time with high accuracy has also improved safety, reducing the risk of operational failures.

By eliminating the need for multiple spreads of equipment and individual teams for each project phase, UTROV has been able to reduce operational costs while delivering the same, if not higher, levels of service to clients in the Offshore Renewables, Oil & Gas, and Decommissioning sectors.

Going foreward

We are continuing to work closely with UTROV to enhance the HMI solution as they expand their range of ROV systems. Upcoming features include integration with real-time condition monitoring systems and further customization of the interface for specific client needs. Our goal is to continue supporting UTROV in optimizing their operations and providing the highest level of service to their customers

Conclusion

Our collaboration with UTROV has resulted in a cutting-edge, dynamic HMI solution that improves the efficiency, safety, and scalability of their subsea operations. By providing UTROV with the ability to control and monitor their bespoke ROV systems in real-time with precise accuracy, we have helped them deliver exceptional value to their clients. We look forward to continuing our partnership with UTROV as they expand their operations and further innovate in the subsea sector.
