Ocein has acquired the AI platform from Dypheimr. We have worked well together developing it.
Because we saw that AI can solve real challenges in the industry, we didn't hesitate to invest in AI when the opportunity arose, since the need for it was clear and evident.
That's what we will continue to do going forward. We therefore want to continue developing this AI platform, which among others continuously monitors the nets.
This is AI technology that feeds directly into everything we do. We develop technology that keeps the nets clean, the facilities safe, and operations running.
This AI platform drives, among other things, inspection of the nets and detects holes. The platform continuously analyzes video streams from the unit in operation and recognizes patterns indicating wear, early-stage damage, and holes, faster and more precisely than was previously possible.
– Adopting AI solutions like this, makes everyday life easier for those working with net washing and inspection. It improves the bottom line, says Erlend.
For now, humans still need to review things at some point. But the goal is for AI to gradually take on more and more of the job entirely on its own. The system will itself detect wear and holes early, with full accuracy, while washing or inspection is underway, under all conditions.
Developing AI technology that works is, among other things, about training it, so it improves and becomes more confident. Underwater, weather and lighting conditions vary greatly. This means extensive training is required to end up with an AI solution that detects holes and wear under all conditions.
The platform is now being tested and further developed, so that the complete solution comes together and reaches exactly the standard we're aiming for.
– We are gradually introducing AI technology across our various products, we test and refine the solutions to make them as good as possible! says Erlend.
– Building on the coastal expertise Norway has developed over many years and turning it into strong products and services that Norwegian companies can bring to international markets. Those are the kinds of companies we want to see grow, says Amund Bjerkholt from Innovation Norway.
– We are and will continue to be excellent at service and support for our customers. It's important for preventing downtime, says Jon, service technician at Ocein.
Ocein's A-ROV is a quality product where no shortcuts have been taken. The ROV has no quick fixes with cheap component choices, it is easy to maintain, and has a lot of power relative to its size.
