Operating equipment on offshore vessels from a remote location has been a well-debated topic for many years. For long, this was just a wild idea, but the later year’s focus on digitalization and the introduction of a stable high-speed 4G mobile network in the North Sea suddenly brought it within range. The introduction of this technology and its opportunities made AXTech start an R&D project to develop different concepts for Remote Support and Operation. To test the concepts, AXTech set up a remote control room connected to one of our Module Handling Systems, enabling us to perform tests in a real life environment. The scope was not only to verify technology, but also to get hands-on experience on operating advanced lifting equipment from a distance as well as providing offshore operators audio and video support from onshore expert operators. We paid special interest in the user experience, thus audio and video became important topics, considering both traditional CCTV as well and use of modern technologies such as Augmented Reality and Body Cameras. We made some unexpected experiences but all in all the tests were successful and we believe that the tests are some of the first steps on the way to fully remote operations. We would like to present the findings we have made so far and share some of our experiences around Remote Operation and Support, Body Cameras and Augmented Reality in Subsea Lifting Operations
