Seatronics Upgrades RESON Packages

Last week Seatronics placed an order for thirteen upgrades of their SeaBat 7125 ROV version to SeaBat 7125 ROV2 version. Included in the order is also an upgrade of sixteen SeaBat 8125 that will be upgraded to the 8125 Hybrid version. Besides the investment in high-end shallow- and mid-water range Seatronics also focus on the low-end shallow water market and can, after having purchased the RESON HydroBat Composite, also meet the requirements from this customer segment.

The upgrade to the multibeam echosounder system, the SeaBat 7125 ROV2, will improve efficiency and usability for Seatronics customers. Especially the software package has been given full attention and the new SB 7125 ROV2 comes with a new pipeline mode which gives an increased number of hits on a pipeline and ensures exact data that improves the data post processing time considerably.

A feature that has been included is the possibility to have variable swath width from 45 to 140 degrees.
Upgrading to 8125 Hybrid includes an increased number of beams upto 512 equidistant beams and variable swath. The 512 beams can be combined with all related survey data such as sensor data with help from the CUBE algorithm (Combined Uncertainty Bathymetry Estimator). This uncertainty output significantly enhances processing speed and will make Seatronic clients more efficient and as end result will save a client valueble time at sea. A powerfull feature set such as roll stabilization, high density footprints, high quality data output and fully automated operation which maximise productivity and efficiency for any Seatronic client going for this ultra high resolution multibeam echosounder.

When asked about the partnership with RESON, managing director of Seatronics David Currie says: "With RESON SeaBat systems in our port-folio we are always certain that clients will find the right solution for their survey and reporting needs. Upgrading a huge part of the almost 50 RESON systems we own will be a good investment both for us but with-out doubt a leap in the right direction for our clients. The enhancements, especially in the software package, saves survey and processing time - essentially that is what it is all about, that our clients spend less time at sea and in their survey room and are certain that they are bringing back good reliable data".
