Exciting New Tech Coming Soon.
Developing Transformational Intelligence from Data and Technology.
We are pleased to announce our latest subsea asset life-extending tools; PlatformVi and V-LIM2, which are coming soon in 2024. As a technology company, we continue to focus substantially on Research and Development, and are dedicated to bringing only the best products and services to market which offer maximum benefits for our customers.
Introducing V-LIM2.
Providing Accurate Electrical Integrity Data with Enhanced Features and Benefits.
Specifically designed to address the demands of the Energy sector, the V-LIM2 is an accurate and precise sensor which monitors electrical cable integrity. With enhanced features including increased IR monitoring range, power monitoring capability and improved user interface, the V-LIM2 provides support through the system lifecycle, from proactive maintenance on greenfields, informed decision making on brownfields, and prolonging the life of degraded cables through the use of V-LIFE.
V-LIM2 is an evolved technology and includes all the current capabilities of V-LIM, with many exciting new features and benefits. Our customers can easily upgrade from V-LIM or other IMD Installations to V-LIM2.

Introducing PlatformVi.
A Bespoke Subsea Asset Management Tool for Data-driven Decision-making.
PlatformVi is a bespoke data visualisation and analytics application, bringing together your system’s details and electrical integrity data into one easy to access platform.
As a V-LIM or V-LIFE customer, you will be provided with a unique and secure login, to register your Viper products and manage, upload and store your system’s critical data via the cloud, giving you access to visualised graphs and trending; allowing you to manage multiple assets and make quick data-driven decisions to maximise the life of your assets.
As experts in asset management, we have designed PlatformVi to help our customers maximise the operational life of their subsea controls and electrical distribution equipment. The application draws on the value derived from data to assist operators with proactive and predictive maintenance, enhanced safety, by predicting and indicating potential and developing issues, improving operational efficiency, and equipment service life.
