Key Developments in the Market:

• In March 2019, Planys Technologies announced the launch of their new remote operated vehicles for underwater inspection- Mikros. This new robot have the ability to to go 200- meter deep and can stay underwater for unlimited hours. They are designed in such a way that they can collect data in difficult situations like tubit waters, high depth and inside long pipelines.
• In November 2016, Planys Technologies announced the launch of their second underwater robot ROV Beluga. This new vehicle has more thrust capacity and is designed to perform functions like spot bio-fouling cleaning, ultrasonic thickness measurements, cathodic potential (CP) measurements and many acoustic surveys. They are specially designed for gas and shipping sector but can be used in many different sectors.
