Hypack teams up with Terradepth to enhance cloud-based hydrographic data solutions

Terradepth, an ocean data-as-a-service company, has formed a strategic partnership with Hypack, a leader in hydrographic survey software. This collaboration will enable surveyors to utilize Hypack’s software directly through Terradepth’s Absolute Ocean platform in the cloud, greatly enhancing the efficiency of hydrographic survey workflows.

This partnership tackles a significant challenge in the hydrographic surveying industry. Traditionally, surveyors have processed data locally on laptops, encountering substantial delays in data retrieval and subsequent sharing with end users. This often involves slow and cumbersome methods such as file hosting services or physical hard drive shipments.

Making ocean data more accessible

With the integration of Hypack software into Terradepth’s cloud-based Absolute Ocean platform, hydrographic surveyors can now process ocean data in near real time during surveys and seamlessly integrate it with existing geophysical data. This advancement significantly reduces the time from data collection to actionable insights, cutting lead times from weeks to mere hours.

“We are very excited to share our latest innovation in ocean data processing with the integration of Absolute Ocean and Hypack’s sonar data software,” said Joe Wolfel, CEO of Terradepth. “Our goal is to revolutionize the hydrographic industry, making ocean data more accessible, efficient and actionable than ever before, and this partnership is a great example of this.”

Key benefits of this partnership include accelerated decision-making due to near real-time access to survey data for all users and the flexibility of location-independent data processing. Moreover, the collaboration offers scalable processing power, eliminating the necessity for costly onboard hardware, and improves data security by avoiding physical data transfers and insecure file hosting services.

The collaboration with Terradepth represents an industry first, according to Straud Armstrong, director of business development at Hypack. It offers a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for subsea geophysical data processing, management and delivery, utilizing HYPACK and Absolute Ocean in the cloud. “This partnership will provide our customers with a dramatic efficiency gain from data collection to delivery, while enabling a secure processing from anywhere approach, and an easy way to ramp-up/ramp-down environments.”
