The Power of i2S Orphie Camera Systems

High-Specification Cameras

At the heart of this reseller agreement are the i2S Orphie camera systems. These high-specification cameras have proven to be a game-changer for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and divers. The Orphie technology significantly improves observation in turbid waters, a common challenge in underwater operations.

Unparalleled Distance and Real-Time Imaging

The standout feature of i2S Orphie systems is their ability to observe objects at a distance three times greater than that of many conventional cameras. This capability provides real-time, actionable images, empowering professionals involved in underwater inspection operations. The i2S Orphie systems are now accessible to a global audience through Ashtead Technology's extensive network of international technology and service hubs. 

Phil Middleton, Ashtead Technology’s Head of Survey and Robotics, expressed enthusiasm about the exclusive reseller agreement. He noted, "Since signing our first agreement with i2S at the start of the year, we have seen significant uptake for the Orphie camera systems, which are delivering exceptional results in the field for our customers." Jules Guillien, Head of Sales at i2S, echoed Middleton's sentiments, stating, "Through Ashtead Technology’s global reach and continued investment in the latest technologies, we have been delighted with the uptake of our camera systems and feedback from customers."

The collaboration between Ashtead Technology and i2S marks a significant milestone in the realm of subsea technology. This exclusive global reseller agreement elevates their partnership to new heights, promising innovative solutions to meet the challenges of underwater exploration and inspection.
