Coda Octopus Products announce first customer for F175™ MOTION system
Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (CDOC), is pleased to announce that Survey Equipment Services (SES), who in the last financial year have invested around a million dollars in Coda Octopus marine products recently purchased the first F175™ to come off the production line. SES will be using the system in the Gulf of Mexico.
The new F175™, which is the latest addition to Coda Octopus` comprehensive range of motion sensing systems, is a very cost effective easy way for a client to blend an existing GNSS with an inertial system to provide an extremely accurate heave, pitch, roll, heading and positioning solution.
Gary Sayers, Engineering Manager for Survey Equipment Services said “we are extremely pleased to have Coda Octopus here as technology partners in the Gulf of Mexico, allowing us to offer our clients access to the latest technology and software available on the market today”.
Blair Cunningham, President of Technology for Coda Octopus, said, “there are many businesses involved in complex and difficult underwater operations who already have GNSS systems but need motion sensing capabilities. The F175™ is ideal for them as it minimizes the investment they are required to make. These companies will understand the advantages of the F175™ system and can realize productivity gains through deployment of the F175™. We are extremely pleased to partner with Survey Equipment Services to provide such early access to this technology.”

The top end software which runs on the Echoscope® (Underwater Survey Explorer) is also proprietary to Coda Octopus. The Echoscope® is also at the heart of the Underwater Inspection System which is being adopted for port and harbor security, and other applications globally. We have a number of products which are based on our real time 3D technology (Echoscope®, Underwater Inspection System and Dimension® (the latter being a forward looking real time sonar targeted at ROV applications)).
