Voyis, a key player in underwater optical systems, has just dropped two new service offerings that could shake up how the industry handles underwater surveying and inspection. The company’s Discovery Stereo Vision System is already a heavy hitter, but with the introduction of Voyis Academy and Voyis Protect, they’re doubling down on performance, reliability, and value. Let’s break it down and see what this might mean for the future of underwater optical tech.
First up, Voyis Academy. This isn’t just another training program—it’s a structured, tiered approach designed to help users squeeze every last drop of potential out of the Discovery Stereo Vision System. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, the Academy covers everything from system integration to VSLAM-enabled data acquisition and 3D modeling using top-tier photogrammetry software. The best part? It’s not just a lecture. Voyis is blending theory with live demos and hands-on learning, both remotely and onsite. The goal? Faster deployment, better data quality, and fewer operational headaches. As one Voyis rep put it, “We’re not just teaching users how to use the system—we’re helping them master it.”
Then there’s Voyis Protect, a maintenance and calibration service that’s all about keeping the Discovery Stereo Vision System running like a well-oiled machine. Each service cycle includes a deep dive into the system’s optical, mechanical, and electronic components, followed by recalibration using controlled reference targets. The result? Precise 3D modeling and crystal-clear imagery, every time. And because tech never stands still, Voyis Protect also includes firmware updates and optional hardware upgrades, ensuring the system stays ahead of the curve. A Certificate of Calibration is issued after each service, giving users peace of mind that their data is as reliable as it gets.
So, what does this mean for the maritime industry? For starters, it’s a clear signal that underwater optical systems are evolving beyond just hardware. The real value now lies in the ecosystem around it—training, maintenance, and continuous improvement. This could push other players in the space to follow suit, offering more comprehensive service packages to stay competitive.
But it’s not just about keeping up with the Joneses. By investing in training and maintenance, Voyis is likely betting on a future where underwater surveying and inspection become even more precise, efficient, and reliable. Imagine a world where every dive yields flawless data, every inspection is faster, and every decision is backed by rock-solid evidence. That’s the kind of future Voyis is hinting at.
Of course, there’s always the question of cost. Will these services be accessible to smaller players, or will they remain the domain of well-funded enterprises? And how will the industry adapt if this becomes the new standard? One thing’s for sure: Voyis has just raised the bar, and the rest of the sector will have to either step up or get left behind.
