MCADCafé: Oceaneering to reduce training times and increase mission readiness with Vortex Studio
MCADCafé
Based in Houston, Texas, Oceaneering is a global player in engineered services and products for the offshore energy industry. With clients looking for a long-term partner to deliver safe and stable maintenance operations for multiple-years to decades at a time, Oceaneering’s Digital Innovation Design Team was tasked with reassuring potential customers through simulation-based demos.
“Our artists excel at creating 3D models, but the systems in place did not let us move to the next level where we could simulate unique scenarios or make changes on the fly,” said Stevens. “Even the smallest change required the scene to be re-rendered, easily taking five days or more.”
Offering high-fidelity dynamics, cable-systems and hydrodynamics, Vortex Studio presented a robust feature set, perfect for the marine focused company.
CM Labs builds simulation-based solutions to help clients design advanced equipment and prepare for skilled operations. Through its Vortex Studio platform, CM Labs provides capabilities for training simulators, mission rehearsal, virtual prototyping, and testing.
For more than 20 years, CM Labs’ Vortex Simulators have helped train equipment operators in port, maritime, and offshore environments all over the world. In the past few years alone, the Port of Tilbury, Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, Indonesian Port Corporation, Napier Port, Ports of Auckland, multiple DP World sites, and the Pacific Maritime Association (USA) have chosen Vortex simulators to improve operational safety and efficiency.
