MEMBER NEWS: Empowering subsea connectivity with MacArtney’s cutting-edge EMO Omni solution

The customisable EMO Omni multiplexer meets the evolving needs of underwater operations, from offshore energy projects and marine research to environmental monitoring. Offering unmatched adaptability and operational efficiency, it is an essential tool for today’s subsea operators.

Built on the tried and trusted MacArtney EMO and NEXUS platforms, the new HD fibre optic video and multibeam EMO Omni multiplexer represents a significant advancement in underwater data acquisition, enhancing the performance and scope of subsea projects.

Positive initial customer feedback confirms that it confidently meets the growing demand for adaptable, robust telemetry solutions. Notably, end-user requests for bespoke multiplexers that deviate from the standard portfolio in terms of size or features further validate its market relevance.

Andrew Palmer, the General Manager of MacArtney Canada, highlights, “With the EMO Omni, we’ve expanded our lineup of dependable multiplexers, aiming to design a flexible product addressing varied industry demands worldwide. This achievement reflects our operations’ adept collaboration across borders, illustrating our ability to oversee the entire product development process internally while benefiting from our global cohesiveness for success.”

Seamless connectivity and data efficiency
Uninterrupted connectivity beneath the waves is paramount for achieving operational goals and optimising data utilisation.

The compact EMO Omni ensures seamless data collection and analysis, enabling informed decision-making and streamlined operations. High data output and real-time communication capabilities support multiple instruments and sensors with integrated diagnostics and remote monitoring features.

This functionality enhances operational efficiency and minimises manual interventions, ensuring consistent connectivity and efficient data transmission and management in diverse underwater environments.

Customisation at its core
At the core of the EMO Omni lies its highly customisable nature, tailored to meet the unique requirements of each operation and adaptable to a diverse range of subsea applications within offshore energy, naval projects, ocean science, marine research, and environmental monitoring.

The EMO Omni’s adaptability extends to system integration, power supply, and material requirements, drawing on decades of MacArtney’s industry experience and exceptional workshop capabilities. Swift customisation, including bespoke harness cables, is readily available globally through our local workshops.

The connectors mounted will typically be from MacArtney brands, such as SubConn®, OptoLinkTM and TrustLinkTM. However, the versatility offers flexibility in choosing from a wide selection available at MacArtney.

Focus on ease-of-use
Focusing on long-term performance and user-friendliness, such as intuitive interfaces, the EMO Omni aims for minimal downtime through ease of maintenance, efficient troubleshooting, and quick issue resolution. It seamlessly integrates with existing systems, enhancing subsea project performance and mission success.

MacArtney’s newest multiplexer addition is available globally via local operations in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
