International project services consultancy, Cambla, has launched an upgraded version of its Schedule Animation Tool (S.A.T). Initially released for the oil and gas industry last year, the tool has been further developed to support the planning of renewable marine operations.
Cambla says that its S.A.T provides an accurate visual representation of vessel locations and planned activities, offering project teams full fleet management support and significant cost savings.
The most recent upgrades to the tool improve user experience and include improved comparison view, detailed project infrastructure and the addition of renewable graphics, the company explained.
Alexander MacLeod , founder of Cambla, said: “Ultimately, we aim to ensure that S.A.T offers the best possible user experience for planning renewable marine operations, so we have continued to upgrade the technology to meet our clients’ business requirements. Cost effective, time saving processes are always in demand and S.A.T offers operators an innovative tool for the most efficient project planning.
“The tool is particularly effective for renewables operations, and allows operators to view the fabrication of project infrastructure including the installation of wind turbines and associated subsea construction work.
“Users can also monitor the delivery requirements for the project to effectively control the management of parts, materials and equipment required for the complete construction of a renewables project.”
Cambla has also recruited Lee Birnie, a Computing placement student from Robert Gordon University’s School of Computing Science and Digital Media, to support the development of the upgrade.
