EIVA Demo Days Denmark 2023 went swimmingly!

During EIVA Demo Days Denmark 2023, over the course of two days, we enjoyed the company of guests from across Europe, as well as many who traveled a long way, some from Korea, Nigeria and Canada to help make the event one of our most successful yet. For those curious about what EIVA Demo Days are all about, or anyone wanting to revisit the days' events and featured solutions, we've gathered some photos of highlights to share with you, including...

• Software and hardware demos of both new and well-established solutions
• On-water demos of ViperFish ROTV, USV remote survey software, ROV software and more
• Our user experience feedback station
• Talks by EIVA experts on the products they develop, as well as guest talks presenting interesting projects and perspectives

Demonstrating our solutions

Products such as NaviSuite Cloud Viewer for browser-based project sharing, Workflow Manager for data processing automation, NaviSuite Perio for virtual marker buoys (AtoN), as well as new tools in the latest versions of classic solutions such as NaviEdit for data editing and NaviModel for data visualisation, were demoed at a lineup of workstations. At each of these, EIVA's product experts were ready for discussion and demos.

Unmanned surface vehicles (USV)

USV demos happened both by the water and in the remote operation centre (ROC) where runlines were planned, then sent to the USV's NaviSuite Kuda – Autopilot for performing precisely controlled surveys of the harbour with MBES and LiDAR data streamed back to the ROC in real time and displayed in the customisable interface with data fusion. Learn more.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROV)

ROV demos could be attended at the water-side, and a NaviSuite Mobula simulator allowed attendees to try out the user interface and assisted steering features without risk.

Remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV)

The ViperFish ROTV was demonstrated collecting multi-aperture sidescan sonar imaging, magnetometer data and more during trips onboard the vessel AURORA. Several presentations focused on the operation of EIVA's ROTVs, including talks by providers of the sensors integrated on the ViperFish and ScanFish platforms. Freshly collected data results from the ViperFish were also demonstrated in the software tent.

Feedback

Our ears are open. As always, we want to build and improve our solutions based on input from customers. That's why at both days of the event, our UX designer was present to collect feedback from attendees. Have any ideas and inputs to share with us?

Talks from EIVA experts, customers and partners

On the first day, we held talks on a wide range of software solutions, both new features of established products, as well as new products in development and our roadmap. On the second day, we dove into hardware solutions, and of course, both days touched on our total system solutions!
If there was a presentation you were curious about, but you were not able to attend, please don't hesitate to reach out.
