What is X-Wave™ Motion Compensation?

The X-Wave™ Motion Compensation technology offers a comprehensive solution for various offshore applications, including Active Heave Compensation of ROV, AUV, and Trencher LARS, Subsea Cranes, Lift Winches, Deep Water Lowering Systems, Well Intervention Systems, IMR Systems, IWOC Systems, Drill String Compensators, Flying Sheave Compensators, and Survey Equipment. Additionally, it provides stabilisation for lifting, helideck, and antenna platforms, as well as walk-to-work and personnel access systems.

Equip your systems with cost effective, accurate motion compensation without the time, risk and cost of development and testing.

Operational Efficiency‍

Easy to Operate

‍The intuitive operator interface ensures a clean and uncluttered presentation of operational information, accompanied by sophisticated diagnostics and data logging functionality. Cost-effective technical support is facilitated through remote access via vessel VSAT.

Safe

‍The high-integrity design approach minimizes operational downtime and enhances system safety. The technology operates with redundancy of critical components, featuring duplicate X-Wave™ cores for the most demanding applications.

Flexible

‍X-Wave™ Motion Compensation can control a wide range of equipment, including rotary or linear type actuators powered either electrically or hydraulically. It interfaces seamlessly with various deck equipment, machinery, and actuators.

Simple Configuration

‍The system offers time-saving and simplified commissioning with wizard-based configuration and setup tools. Over 300 parameters, covering Alarms, Inputs, Outputs, and Internal Variables, can be customized without altering a single line of software.

Enhanced Functionality and Adaptability

Standard Product

Leverage the proven system design based on extensive offshore operational experience, rigorous product development, and testing to avoid custom development.

Multiple Machine Control

Achieve higher asset utilization and reduce ownership costs by controlling multiple deck equipment items from one X-Wave™ system.

Self-Tuning & Portable

Minimize commissioning time and cost as the system virtually eliminates vessel or machine-specific setup or calibration. It automatically measures and compensates for process and machine performance.

Rich Functionality

The technology ensures accuracy by continuously adapting to changing system dynamics and self-learning vessel motion and machine performance characteristics. It offers a full range of operating modes, including Active Heave Compensation (AHC), Constant Tension (CT), hybrid AHC + CT (AHCT) mode, and simulation mode for predicting compensation performance in prevailing sea conditions.

Cross Platform, Modular, Stand-Alone or Integrated

X-Wave™ Motion Compensation is applicable across a broad range of retrofit and OEM applications, featuring a modular design approach. It can be implemented in various controllers, including dedicated real-time controllers, microcontrollers, standard industrial PLCs, PCs, or embedded directly in electric variable speed drive firmware or application software. Stand-alone control modules are also available for interfacing with existing control systems, or the functionality can be integrated into new equipment and control systems.
