Live, Real-Time Streaming: The Future of Remote Offshore Inspections

Live video, audio, and data in real time is becoming increasingly important for organizations ranging from oil and gas companies to government regulatory agencies, especially for offshore inspections.

Real-Time Streaming is SubC Imaging’s cloud-based software solution for remote offshore inspections. This offshore inspection software allows you to conveniently view and present live streamed video, audio, and data directly from your assets to your offices and operational teams or clients where you can make timely decisions based on relevant data, no matter the location. There is also the option to become fully autonomous by streaming video for remote piloting of your vessels.  

There are a number of applications where Real-Time Streaming can be leveraged. Today, we’re going to break down the various applications and how they can help make your operations autonomous.  


Offshore Streaming Applications

Present Live Inspections

In its most basic application, Real-Time Streaming allows you to present to those who are shoreside so they can view inspection work as it unfolds. The cloud-based software makes it possible for teams in various locations around the world to simultaneously see real-time data. This allows for immediate, collaborative decision-making. Along with two-way audio communications, they are able to see exactly what the ROV or diver camera, and inspection engineers are seeing in real-time. 

Conduct Remote Inspections 

Take Real-Time Streaming one step further. Don’t just view your inspection offshore -- conduct your inspection offshore. Real-Time Streaming allows your inspectors to complete virtual inspections at the same level of detail as previous face-to-face site inspections. Data thatonce would have taken weeks to return from offshore to be analyzed is captured as those watching from onshore are able to influence the operation live. This makes the inspection much more efficient and the further reduction of vessel crew will add to your bottom line.

Pilot Vessels for Remote Inspections

Beyond viewing and conducting inspections, Real-Time Streaming allows you to become more autonomous by streaming video for remote piloting of your vessels. This includes USVs and ROVs. Remote vessels require less fuel, allow for non-stop operations, and reduce the need for crew to work in remote or dangerous locations.


The Future of Offshore Inspections

The future of offshore inspections is remote and autonomous. Without access to real-time data, issues such as leaks, equipment damage, environmental impact, asset loss, or even improper installation of video equipment, can go unnoticed and result in negative outcomes such as fines, poor data quality, loss of revenue, or even injury to personnel.  

There is no compromise when implementing Real-Time Streaming software. Clients can view video and make decisions in real time, and inspectors can gather and analyze data all while saving costs and ensuring the safety of your crew and the environment.
