Locate and recover underwater equipment
Valuable underwater assets such as AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), scientific instruments, and offshore infrastructure equipment are often deployed in challenging marine environments. These devices can become difficult or impossible to retrieve due to unexpected failures, strong currents, entanglements, or communication breakdowns.
SeaMe offers a smart, time-based solution for equipment recovery. By attaching SeaMe to the object, operators can pre-set a release time. When that time is reached, SeaMe automatically deploys its buoy, which rises to the surface and remains connected via a durable line. This allows teams to locate the exact position of the lost object — even in deep water or remote locations.
Use cases include:
- AUVs and ROVs: Recovery after mission failure, loss of contact, or power depletion
- Scientific Instruments: Retrieval after long-term data collection or sensor deployment
- Offshore Industry: Marking submerged tools, anchors, or inspection systems used in energy or construction operations
SeaMe is compact and the release time is user-configurable, allowing flexibility for short-term or long-term deployments.
