SatLab Geosolutions, a developer of high-precision RTK GNSS positioning solutions, handheld SLAM scanners, marine & water resources products, and total stations, is at the forefront of advancing hydrographic surveys in Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelagic nation.
Managing the country’s vast and diverse water resources has long been a challenge, as traditional survey methods have proven slow, inefficient, and prone to inaccuracies, especially in remote or difficult environments. Surveyors often contend with hazardous conditions and inclement weather, which not only delay data collection but also present safety risks.
SatLab’s HydroBoat 1200 USV, paired with the HydroFlow 1200 ADCP, the process of hydrographic surveying is being transformed, offering a safer, more efficient, and precise solution.
The HydroBoat 1200 provides fully automated operations, real-time data collection, and unmatched accuracy, eliminating the need for manual surveys in hazardous conditions. Its user-friendly interface ensures ease of deployment, even in remote locations, while its versatility and high-quality data make it an invaluable tool for water resource management.
In a recent project in Indonesia, the HydroBoat 1200 demonstrated its efficiency, offering seamless operation, instant insights, and a fully integrated system that streamlines survey processes and reduces human intervention. The ability to autonomously navigate pre-set routes and gather accurate data in real-time ensures that surveyors spend less time in dangerous conditions and more time analyzing actionable results. With its compact design and customizable sensor features, the system is adaptable to a wide range of aquatic environments, making it a perfect solution for Indonesia’s diverse and challenging water systems.
As Unmanned Surface Vehicle technology continues to evolve, its potential for improving hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring, and water management is limitless. It’s poised to play a pivotal role in supporting sustainable practices and enhancing water resource management in Indonesia and beyond.
