Kolding General Manager: Monica S. Kolding RT1 (Rock-Trencher 1), the world?s most powerful seabed trenching systems. SMD have recently announced its intention to work with SeeByte, the global leader in creating smart soft- ware technology for unmanned systems. SMD and SeeByte plan to integrate a smart software tool for dynamic positioning and real-time monitoring of ROVs based on Seebytes Co-pilot technology into SMD?s DVECSII control platform. This will be available on SMD?s latest generation ROV systems, the  rst of which is Atom. SeeTrack CoPilot offers the industry?s most extensive range of operation modes such as station-keeping, waypoint planning, path-planning, and mid-water DP. SMD?s ROVs equipped with SeeTrack CoPilot, will boast the indus- try?s most advanced ROV control for survey purposes and un- paralleled control performance for construction duties.Testing Capabilities Testing Capabilities SMD?s head of ce and factory site includes modern design, service, support and production of ces and state of the art production control, inventory systems, and engineering de- sign software. The extensive work shop has 2 x 50te overhead cranes, assembly space for parallel vehicle builds and height clearance for A-Frame test. Specialist manufacturing facilities include hydraulics and electronic assembly rooms, vehicle as- sembly pods and dedicated commissioning bays. The factory is equipped with a 3m deep indoor test tank and 4m deep outdoor test tank. SMD?s ROV division is located at the i-19 facility in North Shields. The 20,000 sqft facility includes a modern of ce with client rooms and wi internet access.The work- shop has eight ROV build bays for parallel production and is equipped with overhead gantry cranes, large recessed test tank and commissioning areas.Of ces are available speci cally for the use by visiting customers with telephone, fax, and wireless internet facilities to hand SMD?s 6,400 m² LARS Production facility has 2 x 30Te and 1 x10Te cranes, has dedicated build and test areas. The facility has a Load out Quay and has also has access to an adjacent 11m dry dock.SMD offer a purpose built training facility com- prising of a large classroom with state of the art training aids and an SMD developed Dri-ROV Simulator. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 67MTR #6 (66-80).indd 67MTR #6 (66-80).indd 678/3/2012 9:58:47 AM8/3/2012 9:58:47 AM
