About BeeX
BeeX is a Singapore-based company specializing in autonomous underwater systems, deploying autonomously operating underwater drones (AUVs) for inspections. The fleet comprises the A.IKANBILIS, BETTA, ALPHA, and CASPER models and is operated as Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) without specialized support or DP2 vessels. The scope of services ranges from General Visual Inspection (GVI), cathodic protection measurements, and sonar/mosaic mapping to 3D visualization and georeferenced anomaly reporting via the in-house software suite Sambal. Missions have been carried out, among others, for Nordsee One GmbH and Iberdrola (Baltic Eagle) in offshore wind, for an international oil and gas operator at a jacket platform in 71 m water depth, and for ship hull inspections in Singapore. In the defense sector, BeeX offers ISR, minehunting, and Seabed Intelligence. In addition to its headquarters in Singapore, BeeX maintains locations in London and Rostock.

Technology & Methods
General Visual Inspection
Complete visual inspection of underwater structures at constant distance and uniform image parameters.
Cathodic Protection Measurement
Corrosion measurement at defined positions using a cathodic protection sensor mounted on the AUV.
Sonar and Mosaic Mapping
Georeferenced sonar and mosaic captures as well as 3D visualization of structures.
Sambal Software Suite
Proprietary software from mission planning through live video to the georeferenced anomaly report.
Adaptive Autonomy
Sonar-based navigation with object tracking and obstacle avoidance, including automatic current compensation.

Quality & Data Quality
Data quality is kept consistent regardless of the operator through drone autonomy, absolute positioning, and stabilization; georeferenced, timestamped reports are generated via the Sambal software in near real time.
