Products
Vaarst is known for its innovative subsea technology, particularly the SubSLAM X2 system. This multi-functional camera system captures 4K color video and creates precision 3D spatial reconstructions. It is capable of positions with sub-millimeter accuracy and enables live, immediately available 3D reconstructions. Additionally, the SubSLAM X2 allows for precise contactless measurements. Vaarst's machine learning platform accelerates the eventing and QC of survey datasets, leading to higher-quality outputs.
Technology and Applications
Vaarst's technology is pivotal in various underwater projects. Their world-first real-time data collection system builds live 3D reconstructions in deep waters down to 6000 meters. The SubSLAM X2 system has been used by Rovco for offshore wind farm asset integrity surveys and visual inspections of mooring chains, determining wear at contact points. Additionally, it has inspected vertical conductors inside jacket structures and the verticality of risers for major oil and gas operators.
Environmental Impact
Vaarst contributes to underwater ecosystem preservation through their advanced technology. Notably, their SubSLAM X2 technology supports the preservation efforts at Al Wajh Lagoon. By providing detailed, millimeter-accurate 3D models and videos of subsea environments, Vaarst's systems assist in monitoring and maintaining the health of these ecosystems. Their real-time data collection capabilities allow for ongoing observation and adjustments to preservation strategies.
