ABERDEEN, UKReturn To Scene has secured funding from the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) in Aberdeen to develop its visual positioning system, R2S VPS.

This is said to be the largest project approved to date by the OGTC’s Digital Solutions Centre.

R2S VPS is designed to further automation, improve offshore HSE, and deliver efficiency gains and associated cost savings.

It will address some of the main challenges impacting automation in the offshore oil and gas industry, allowing personnel and machines to identify their location on complex offshore assets via data captured from a mobile device or body-worn cameras.

The project also involves BP, an established user of R2S technology, with technical support from Microsoft and software developers Codify, AR and cloud consultant Pulsant.
