Ocean data as a service company Terradepth is working with Hypack to streamline the hydrographic survey workflow, addressing a key challenge in the industry. 

As part of the collaboration, Hypack’s hydrographic survey software will be integrated with Terradepth’s cloud-native Absolute Ocean platform. With this, Hydrographic surveyors can now process ocean data in near-real time during surveys and seamlessly contextualize it with existing geophysical data. 

This integration is set to reduce the time from data collection to actionable insights, and shrink lead times from weeks to hours.

Surveyors typically process data locally on laptops and face significant hurdles in receiving the data in a timely manner, and then sharing that data with end users when processed. This leads to surveyors often relying on slow and inefficient methods such as file hosting services or physical hard drive shipments.

The partnership offers faster decision making with near real-time access to survey data for all end users, as well as flexible team structures enabled by location-independent data processing. 

The collaboration provides scalable processing power that eliminates the need for expensive onboard hardware, and delivers enhanced data security by avoiding physical data transfers and unsecured file hosting platforms. 

Joe Wolfel, CEO of Terradepth, commented; “We are very excited to share our latest innovation in ocean data processing with the integration of Absolute Ocean and HYPACK’s sonar data software. Our goal is to revolutionize the hydrographic industry, making ocean data more accessible, efficient, and actionable than ever before, and this partnership is a great example of this.”

Straud Armstrong, Director of Business Development at HYPACK, added; “We are excited to collaborate with Terradepth in offering an industry first: a complete, end-to-end subsea geophysical data processing, management, and delivery solution with HYPACK and Absolute Ocean, running in the cloud. 

“This partnership will provide our customers a dramatic efficiency gain from data collection to delivery, while enabling a secure processing from anywhere approach, and an easy way to ramp-up/ramp-down environments.”
