Beam - formerly Rovco/Vaarst

📢 Game-changing news for the offshore wind industry - Beam develops and deploys the world’s first AI-driven autonomous subsea vehicle 🌊 This groundbreaking milestone promises to revolutionise marine technology and underwater robotics. By leveraging advanced AI, our technology can perform complex underwater tasks with no human intervention, significantly boosting the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of underwater inspections and surveys. “We're very proud to have succeeded in deploying the world’s first autonomous underwater vehicle driven by AI. Automation can revolutionise how we carry out inspection and maintenance of offshore wind farms, helping to reduce both costs and timelines."- Brian Allen, Beam CEO. The tech has already been successfully used to inspect jacket structures on Seagreen wind farm, a JV partnership between SSE Renewables, TotalEnergies and PTTEP. We will be rolling out this cutting-edge technology across our fleet of DP2 vessels, ROVs and AUVs throughout 2025 and 2026. This is just the beginning of a more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable future in offshore wind.

“If we’re short of 600,000 technicians, how could we multiply those technicians, how could we get one technician to do the work of five? We’re in one of the only industries where we don’t have to be scared of AI.” Brian Allen Beam CEO and Founder. We want to extend our thanks to Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) for hosting a fantastic panel discussion, where leaders exchanged ideas and discussed advancing the offshore wind industry. We believe integrating AI and advanced technologies will address workforce shortages and drive efficiency and safety, ensuring that offshore wind remains a leading force in the energy transition.   Read the full article from Windpower Monthly here: https://lnkd.in/gdxmntyS #offshorewind #renewables #innovation

What a fantastic first day at WindEnergy Hamburg, celebrating the launch of our new brand 'Beam' and, discussing more about our world's first AI-driven autonomous subsea vehicle and, our new USVs. It was also a pleasure to host Andrew Mitchell, British Ambassador to Germany, and discuss the role of renewable energy in global markets and development. Make sure to visit us at Beam stand B5.422 (in Hall B5) - we’d love to connect and share how we’re shaping the future of offshore wind. 📍 Beam stand B5.422 #weh24 #windenergyhamburg #offshorewind #renewableenergy

TNW have featured our latest breakthrough: the world’s first AI-powered Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). This technology represents a significant leap forward in how we approach offshore wind operations. 🌊 Designed to operate completely autonomously, our AUV can perform intricate underwater tasks without human intervention or pre-mission planning – it’s intelligent, efficient, and built for the unique challenges of offshore environments. Powered by edge AI, it makes real-time decisions on-site, even without an internet connection. We recently put this innovation to the test at Seagreen, the world’s deepest fixed bottom offshore wind farm, where it successfully completed a full wind turbine foundation survey 58 meters below the surface.
