Remote Work and Education Facilitation through Cloud-Based Technological Innovations
In the rapidly evolving world of offshore surveying, Teledyne CARIS is leading the charge in embracing cloud technology to revolutionise hydrographic data processing and nautical charting. The company, in partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office, is streamlining survey data ingestion, chart production automation, cloud storage, and user-friendly interfaces [1][2].
This collaboration signifies a significant shift towards cloud-based solutions, enabling more efficient remote workflows in hydrographic surveying. By allowing remote access to hydrographic data and processing tools, the integration of cloud technologies can facilitate offshore survey operations, reducing reliance on on-site computational resources.
Teledyne CARIS is renowned in the offshore surveying and hydrographic data management industry for its comprehensive software suite used in data processing, analysis, and charting. The move towards cloud deployment aligns with industry trends pushing for remote work capabilities in offshore surveys, where data volumes and complexity require robust, accessible platforms.
The hydrographic industry is not alone in this transition. Other geospatial and hydrographic software platforms are also moving towards cloud or remote-enabled solutions to handle point cloud data, UAV/remote sensing data, and engineering calculations efficiently [5].
While specific case studies or performance metrics of CARIS Cloud Technologies in offshore remote hydrographic surveying were not found in the current search results, additional information may be found through Teledyne CARIS official channels or industry-specific publications [1][2].
The hydrographic industry is part of a larger global movement towards a hydrospatial economy, with decentralized data processing teams requiring infrastructure to support global data sharing. Cloud-based data storage and virtual processing desktops are one solution that enables a globally distributed workforce and shared workspaces, allowing for the use of software resources 24 hours a day by people in distant time zones.
In Canada, the project is funded by Canada's Ocean Supercluster and aims to advance the availability and adoption of cloud-based software to support remote work and operations for the mapping sector. The Ocean Mapping Group at UNB is also examining optimizing online training course development using the CCT platform to broaden the reach of traditionally hands-on training disciplines.
