Deep Trekker keeps on moving
THE Canadian ROV (remotely operated vehicle) company Deep Trekker has launched a new model - and opened a new site, in Chile’s aquaculture region.
The Ontario based company manufactures portable, harsh environment robotic inspection tools, now sold in more than 80 countries, and used in aquaculture, as well as shipping, search and rescue, and the defence industry.
The new DTG3 ROV model incorporates BRIDGE technology, comprising integrated hardware and software.
‘BRIDGE allows the user to experience wireless control and viewing, multi-vehicle operation over the internet, and software upgrades from anywhere in the world,’ said Deep Trekker’s embedded systems engineer lead, Chad Pleas-Naden.
Meanwhile, the Chilean office, in Puerto Montt, will offer the company’s complete range of submersible products, technical support, training services and customer service, the company said.
Company president Sam Macdonald said the firm’s growth was based on developing products to customer requirements.
‘Establishing a direct presence in Latin America will allow us to get even closer to our customers, and as a result, deliver innovative products based on the specific needs of the Latin American market,’ she said.
