SUBMEETING2024 Sponsors

The SUBMEETING2024 partner companies will be on hand at the port of Boulouris to present their ever more precise and lighter sensors, ready to be fitted to your underwater vectors. You’ll also be able to see demonstrations of their underwater robots on the quayside.

NORTEK MEDITERRANEE

Nortek Méditerranée is the French subsidiary of Norway-based Nortek AS, which manufactures instruments using Doppler technology to measure the speed and direction of underwater movement.

Nortek instruments can be divided into two categories:

Oceanography: measurement of current speed and direction at a given depth or over the entire water column / measurement of directional waves (type of instruments: ADV, ADCP)
Navigation: measurement of vehicle speed to aid underwater positioning (instrument type: DVL) The full range of sensors can be viewed on the http://www.nortekgroup.com/ website.

In Toulon, we have two main activities. On the one hand, we distribute these sensors in France and Africa. Secondly, we provide services for all aspects of physical measurement in marine environments worldwide. For this second activity, we develop our own structures, such as buoys or tripods, to integrate Nortek or other sensors (CTD, weather station…). We also offer turnkey solutions, including installation, maintenance, real-time data monitoring and reporting.

IVM TECHNOLOGIES

IVM Technologies, leader since 2020, specializes in the Hydro range of underwater photogrammetry, revolutionizing underwater inspections.

Their cutting-edge 3D modeling improves data accuracy, efficiency and cost reduction over conventional methods. The HYDRO range, derived from ORUS 3D, offers great versatility with different depths, to meet the needs of various industries, from oil & gas to defense. IVM contributes to optimizing resources and improving operational efficiency for its customers.

Its customized solutions and collaborative approach make it a preferred partner for ambitious projects. IVM embodies innovation and excellence, constantly pushing back the boundaries of underwater 3D inspection, ensuring the success of demanding projects.

DELAIR MARINE

Founded in 2011, DELAIR designs, manufactures and markets a complete range of aerial and underwater drones. Thanks to these drones, DELAIR is able to offer ship inspection services (live and dead works). Coupled with the Delair Cloud platform and its on-board analysis capabilities based on artificial intelligence, these inspections provide clear, accurate reports in record time, enabling a maintenance plan to be put in place and a complete external digital twin of the vessel to be produced. This inspection capability can be extended to port infrastructures and offshore platforms of all types.

SYERA

Syera is an artisanal company based in the Toulon region, specializing in the design, production and implementation of technologies for difficult environments (aquatic, underground, confined).

In 2014, Syera, already a designer and manufacturer of custom ROVs, saw the potential of what was to become Blue Robotics. As a distributor since the brand’s inception, Syera now has complete control over the entire range from this now essential player in underwater robotics. Syera also distributes the connector range of Blue Trail, a young American company innovating in this crucial field.

TELEDYNE MARINE

Teledyne RD Instrument was founded in 1982 by Kent Deine and Fran Rowe, who pioneered the use of the Doppler effect to measure current profiles. The company joined the Teledyne Group in 2006, and since then has enjoyed strong support for new product development. Research and innovation are the driving forces behind the Teledyne Group. Today, Teledyne RD Instruments manufactures Doppler Velocity Log phased array transducers for precise navigation in all circumstances. Teledyne RD Instrument is based in San Diego, CA, USA.
