SMD, a subsea technology provider, has introduced of Sentio, a synthetic environment and virtualization platform that is designed to optimize and improve the efficiency of operations in offshore environments. Sentio lets the user create models and environments to produce virtual scenarios, providing insights into how real-world operations can play out. This can improve operational safety, identify and mitigate risks and significantly lower costs by understanding operational needs before going offshore.
Whether operations are in challenging geographical areas, deeper waters or dynamic working environments, Sentio gives the clarity to see and understand how every element of the operation works, and how they are connected. This can be as complex as necessary, for example, installing new engineered products for the first time on an offshore rig requiring ROV (remotely operated vehicle) and vessel operations.
The environment can be customized to meet specific requirements at any stage of the operational life cycle, from engineering assessment, to training, to mission validation and de-commissioning. This ability can forego the need for high-cost physical testing and resources.
“Sentio, developed with our technology partner Tree-C, generates a unique insight into offshore operations,” said Mahesh Menon, digital services product manager. “This enhanced perspective means the customer is able to make highly informed decisions, ensuring operations are safe, reliable and fully optimized prior to the real-life operation – all virtual, from wherever they are based.”
