Exploring new technology for offshore energy with AMRC Cymru

Written by Ecodetect | Aug 29, 2025, 9:00:00 AM

In August 2025 we visited our friends at AMRC Cymru, the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in North Wales, to see how advanced manufacturing, robotics and virtual reality could be applied to offshore wind and other ocean energy projects.

Why it matters for marine monitoring

Offshore monitoring systems have to be robust, reliable and practical to build, deploy and maintain in tough conditions. Seeing the latest manufacturing, robotics and simulation tools up close gave us plenty of ideas for how our sensor platforms could be designed, tested and produced as we scale.

Thank you

Many thanks to Andrew Martin and Matthew Booth for showing us around, and to Debbie Jones, the Offshore Energy Alliance and Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government for organising the visit.
