Kraken Robotics Subsidiary 3D At Depth Completes 1,000th Subsea Metrology
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D At Depth, a subsidiary of Kraken Robotics and leader in subsea metrology and advanced underwater measurement solutions, is proud to announce the successful completion of its 1,000th subsea metrology project. This significant milestone underlines the company's commitment to innovation, precision, and excellence in the underwater technology and engineering sector.
3D at Depth was contracted by an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor to perform a LiDAR spool metrology for TotalEnergies in 1,350 meter water depth at the Girassol oil field, located in Angola, West Africa. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was mobilized with 3D at Depth's Subsea LiDAR in two hours. Total operational time for the two-position scan metrology was four hours and deliverables were provided to the end client within 24 hours.
'Not only does the support of advanced technologies and touchless solution provide TotalEnergies with the ability to de-risk inspection, maintenance, and repair, the increased efficiency and rapid acquisition allows us to continue to reduce our environmental impact,' said Maïwenn Keryell-Even, Survey Engineer, and Simon Olive, Product Owner Survey and Positioning, TotalEnergies.

How to Prep Your Smart Home Security for Hurricane Erin
As hurricane season continues, it's never been more important to protect your home from natural disasters. Part of that involves the basics, like shuttering windows and bringing in lightweight lawn furniture. But technology also has a key role to play. Since smart devices and DIY home security setups are increasingly popular, you should know how to use this tech to protect your home in a hurricane, even in the event of evacuation or flooding. Here's what I recommend. Read more: How Much Money Home Security Tech Can Save You Monthly: We Ran the Numbers Review the cellular settings on your home security system SimpliSafe's security base comes with an optional cellular module. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Hurricanes are notorious for knocking out power, which creates challenges for smart home devices that need Wi-Fi to control them remotely. Today's security systems frequently come with cellular backup options (as do more advanced security cameras). As long as cell towers in the region remain operational, cellular and battery backups let you control your home security even if everything else is down. The trick is that it usually costs extra, often with a higher-tier subscription package or similar fee -- think $10 to $15 more than you'd usually pay. I personally believe that's worth it if your area gets frequent hurricane weather. Check that your smart lock batteries are fresh Smart locks are excellent for hurricane security. John Carlsen/CNET Smart locks can usually be controlled by Bluetooth or a hidden key slot if Wi-Fi is down, but you'll want to make sure the batteries are charged and stay operational if you have to evacuate. If Wi-Fi does come back online after a hurricane, smart locks come with another huge benefit: You can control them from anywhere, giving access to family or neighbors as necessary, and making sure the door remains locked otherwise. Some locks use rechargeable batteries, but most need basic AA batteries. Set leak detectors in key spots SwitchBot's leak detector is a little larger, but Wi-Fi ready and easy to place within minutes. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Leak detectors are one of my favorite little smart home devices, wireless sensors with long-lasting batteries that use small completed circuits to detect pooling or dripping water around them. Leak detectors can then sound sirens or send app alerts to your phone, letting you know there's an issue. Sink leak detectors can spot water problems long before homeowners do, making them especially valuable during a hurricane. In case of an evacuation, they may be able to send alerts from afar if they detect water from a broken window or rising flood, providing useful information as long as they remain online. Keep your security cams out in a protected area Security cameras can give important feedback if you have to leave during a hurricane, as long as they're in a sheltered area. Arlo Today's outdoor security cameras are quite durable and can withstand all kinds of weather when mounted properly. In a hurricane, the main danger is flying objects like tree branches, boards or chairs smashing against security cams and damaging them. But if your camera is in a relatively safe spot, I suggest leaving it up and making sure the battery is charged. Keeping a security camera online can help you watch for trouble, such as looters, no matter where you are. You can also talk to anyone who visits your home through the two-way audio, even if you had to evacuate. Keeping eyes on your home (and any damage) is particularly valuable if you have a camera that can handle it. If you aren't sure, look for IP weather resistance ratings, like an IP65 feature. Set detection services through smart speakers Nest speakers can listen for sirens or broken glass among other emergency detection options. Chris Monroe/CNET If you don't have a house packed with security sensors on all the doors and windows, a single smart speaker can take some of the pressure off with a few useful abilities. Certain Nest Hubs and speakers can, with a Nest subscription ($10 per month), pick up key sounds like broken glass or an alarm going off, which could signify problems or issues in the aftermath of a hurricane. Alexa Emergency Assist is similar but can call for help with a voice command for around $6 per month. Read more: 6 Spots Where Your Home Security Camera Works the Best If flooding is a concern, elevate your smart devices Put valuable tech up high if you're worried about the chance of flooding. Lorex/Amazon If you live in a flood-prone area and know that nearby houses have suffered from floods during hurricanes, I suggest taking a few minutes to move your smart devices and home tech to the top of shelves or in tall cupboards to protect them from disabling water damage. That includes things like air conditioners, fans, robot vacuums, smart speakers, and home security hubs. Invest in a waterproof smart safe for the long term A waterproof smart safe is a must-have for hurricane-prone areas. Yale A hurricane-ready home needs a safe with waterproofing capabilities, where you can store documents, valuables, weapons and more. I have a list of my favorite smart home safes, with features like fingerprint access, app warnings about tampering and other surprisingly helpful bonuses, including waterproof and fireproof picks. If you want to be ready for hurricanes for years to come, it's time for a safe like this.
