Editor's Notes

1. Organisationally, we have 3 divisions; geoscience, survey and geotechnical, from which we’ve developed the 8 business lines that you can see here. However, Fugro is a highly decentralised organisation and the vast majority of staff and of course our business is handled by the 200 or more operating companies that form the Fugro Group. Each company reporting into one of 8 business line COOs. The corporate staff is relatively small.
2. And surprisingly, some simply used it for a bit of fun. However, we found this this approach was great for getting staff familiar with creating and taking e-learning, without getting them bogged down in serious work topics to begin with.
3. A quick note here on the desire to model the physical world on the vessel. The connections in the hardware view will reflect the real world. We use green / red to indicate sensor health. The combination of drag/drop and a wizard is much easier than IOWin. In the future we hope to add plug and play
4. A vessel is the centre piece of a project. Sensors are typically children of the vessel. A vessel has lots of properties like a shape, a default position, and a bunch of fixed offsets. All these attributes can easily be reported to PDF on a daily basis.
5. Fugro provides true real time visualization in the field to augment operations like rig moves, construction support and in future AUV surveys. Operations are becoming increasingly complex and increasingly require information regarding clearance, touch down points and proximity of possible seabed furniture. This requires detailed estimates of cable locations, catenaries etc. and a flexible way to provide this information to the operational staff on board the installation vessels. For underwater applications, this system highly benefits from INS. INS will provide stable, high update rate positioning information stream that can provide realistic imaging of underwater moving objects. AUV surveys will (in future) benefit from this service in rough terrain areas. The mission planning and real time QC will benefit from this feature.
6. Need to discuss the total cost of ownership (TCO) and how a browser based app makes good business sense Google OS is ‘around the corner’ they are pushing ‘web-based’ computing in a big way. Netbooks are upon us Mobile computing devices (Phones, PDA’s etc) all have JavaScript enabled browsers. Having thought about the cloud / web based stuff for a while, a web based system makes perfect sense.�� It should even run on my kids wii.�� But seriously, this is important.�� Getting access to NG on cheap throw-away net book ��devices with a ‘free’ Linux opsys will have significant commercial benefit to Fugro.
7. FRS is about connecting offshore operations to the office. Today, most vessels and rigs are connected to the world wide web by satellites. Through the internet we can connect to these vessels and to the navigation systems on board. This can be done from the Fugro office and also from client offices. The infrastructure we use for this is called FANS technology. The two most important features of this system are that it is secure and that it uses very little bandwidth, hence there is no thread or capacity drawn from the vessel or rigs internet connection. The main components of the FANS system are: Secure Remote control software with encrypted data transfer and the FANS box, a Fugro configured firewall and router
