Fugro Upgrades Electric ROV Simulators
Fugro announced it is launching an important upgrade to its Electric ROV pilot training simulators. Most observation-class ROVs and many light work-class ROVs are electrical-based systems. With the introduction of a new electric ROV control pod and suite of electric ROV specific components, Fugro’s DeepWorks simulation software now models all electric sub-systems with greater accuracy and enables failure cases to be simulated on individual sensors and circuits. This enables not just a wider range of training scenarios to be conceived…
Fugro Introduces Electric ROV Version of Deepworks
Fugro has developed a new version of its DeepWorks ROV simulator for the Saab Seaeye family of electric ROVs.
