CENTURION SUBSEA SERVICES (UK) TRACKROV UPGRADES DELIVER NEXT-LEVEL OPERATOR EXPERIENCE

Centurion Subsea Services (UK) has successfully upgraded its TrackROV system – delivering a more flexible, powerful, and intuitive user experience for subsea operators.

Originally built for compact valve pack systems, the TrackROV’s new data control platform has been significantly upgraded to support multi-board processing – tripling data throughput and enabling complex mission-level automation. Rather than reverting to Centurion’s legacy “Gladiator” ROV platform, the team scaled the data platform to ensure the TrackROV meets evolving customer requirements – incorporating integrated lighting, navigation inputs, live camera feeds, and mission control features.

The software also features a programmable command sequencer, allowing greater automation for pilots and reducing manual workload – allowing operators to prioritize system health and situational awareness.

The team also developed a Hands-On Throttle-And-Stick (HOTAS), replacing the system’s legacy gaming controller, paired with a configuration system that visually responds to input in real time, these upgrades allow operators to quickly identify and configure controls with minimal support or instruction required.

Combined, these innovations are a step forward in the TrackROV’s usability, scalability, and efficiency – all whilst using innovative engineering to help keep things simple and robust.

This project reflects Centurion’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, customer-focused technology that solves real-world challenges.
