The Challenge: Traditional Hydrographic Surveying Limitations
For the marine industry, accurate seabed mapping is critical for safety, navigation, and commerce. However, traditional hydrographic surveying is an expensive, logistically complex, and slow process with significant operational challenges.
Prohibitive costs for specialized multibeam echosounders and survey vessels
Delayed data processing with offline labs creating weeks-old information
Lack of real-time operational awareness for project managers
Complex data integration from various vessel sensors and systems
Our Solution: Real-Time Hydrographic Intelligence Platform
1Discovery & Strategy
We analyzed the marine surveying landscape and designed a vertically integrated solution that disrupts the traditional survey model by providing a cost-effective, real-time alternative using existing vessels and consumer-grade hardware.
2Development & Implementation
We built a comprehensive ecosystem with a robust Android app for data collection using OCR technology, a cloud-native analytics platform with real-time visualization, and a scalable backend architecture for high-velocity geospatial data processing.
3Key Features & Capabilities
OCR-powered depth acquisition from standard echosounder displays
Real-time NMEA 0183 parsing for GPS and sensor data synchronization
Live survey dashboard with vessel tracking and bathymetric visualization
Interactive 2D/3D depth profile visualization and modeling
Cloud-native architecture with Kubernetes orchestration
PostGIS database for powerful geospatial querying capabilities
