REAL MISSIONS

MATE in action

Securing valuable environmental data through innovative recovery solutions

Reducing the risk of data and equipment loss through reliable subsea recovery and servicing of seabed lander systems. The ROV enables direct system access, contactless data transfer, and underwater recharging, minimizing costly and time-consuming recovery operations.

System: MATE ROV
Application: Data recovery
Capability: Navigation, heavy lift, secure data readout, recharge batteries
Environment: Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea
Customer: Federal Research Institute

More missions ahead

We're out in the field. New challenges, new deployments, and new success stories are on the way.

Rough use takes its toll: offshore, it’s not a question of if something will break, but when. The problem arises when spare parts are not readily available. Fortunately, 80 % of MATE’s components can be printed within 24 hours and delivered to you in no time.

ALWAYS READY

Damage is inevitable, but downtime is not.

GROWS WITH YOU

Designed to handle change.

What you deploy today is just the beginning. Thanks to its modular architecture, you can adapt, extend, or reconfigure your system solution if your requirements change – there’s no need to replace it!

Is MATE right for me? Chris is happy to offer you advice.
