Challenge
Many ROV services contractors require a high-function ROV pilot training and mission planning simulator that enables pilots to train on real scenarios using real hardware control consoles with easy to configure scenarios.
Solution
Fugro GRL developed ROVolution with easy import of real world models, integration with actual ROV control consoles and KystDesign pilot chairs and advanced configuration tools to quickly update simulations to reflect real world changes in tooling or the environment.
Business Benefits
Enables:
- fully immersive pilot experience just like the real-thing
- rapid competency assessment for TMS docking and undocking, target navigation and tooling intervention for new and returning pilots before deployment offshore.
- rapid familarisation with mission brief through operations planning and rehersal
- procedures validation to identify likely snags and timescales for navigation and intervention operations.
- allows new tooling and equipment to be trialed and optimised before use.
Also led to the establishment of the Fugro ROV Pilot Training and Assessment Centre in Aberdeen.
