How does Norwegian Subsea compare to other Vertical Reference Unit suppliers?
Norwegian Subsea distinguishes itself in the Vertical Reference Unit (VRU) and Motion Reference Unit (MRU) market by delivering high-performance, robust motion sensors that are rigorously tested and validated in real sea conditions, not just laboratory environments. We focus on providing exceptional accuracy (with options like ±0.05°, ±0.02°, and ±0.01° Roll/Pitch accuracy across our series) combined with reliability, ensuring dependable data for critical operations.
A key differentiator is our commitment to cost-effectiveness. Our MRUs offer a highly competitive price point without compromising performance. Furthermore, they are designed for long-term value, typically requiring no recalibration during their operational lifetime for most applications (backed by a 4-year calibration certificate), significantly reducing maintenance costs. This also makes our units ideal for cost-effective retrofitting, often serving as drop-in replacements for older systems.
Ease of integration and use are paramount in our design philosophy. Our sensors, including the MRU Compact, Marine, Subsea, and Ex models, are compact, lightweight, and can be mounted in any orientation. We offer versatile connectivity options (Ethernet, RS-232/485) and support a wide range of standard industry protocols (UDP, Modbus TCP, NMEA, etc.). Configuration is straightforward via our free, user-friendly web browser interface, requiring no software installation.
Leveraging state-of-the-art MEMS technology and advanced sensor fusion algorithms, Norwegian Subsea provides cutting-edge motion sensing solutions. Additionally, our products generally do not require an export license under EU regulations, simplifying procurement for our global customer base across various marine, subsea, and offshore industries.
