IK Trax Launches Loop: The Advanced Subsea Data Hub for Streamlined Monitoring and Real-Time Data Acquisition

IK Trax, an Aberdeen-based company specialising in Intelligent Pipeline Technology, has announced the launch of Loop – the Versatile Subsea Data Hub.  With its unique multi-sensor capabilities, Loop provides seamless monitoring of subsea parameters in a compact unit providing crucial data for a broad range of subsea applications.

Equipped with 12 RS485-type sensors, Loop accurately measures and logs critical measurements such as pressure, temperature and flow.  Its interfaced system consolidates all sensor data into one unit, streamlining deployment and simplifying operations.  Data can be downloaded subsea using an optical modem through the ROV umbilical and viewed via dedicated software, providing a clear graphical representation for further analysis.
