OIS: AI-Driven Subsea IIoT Enhancing Offshore Energy Safety and Profitability
Offshore energy operations—from oil & gas platforms to wind farms—face mounting pressure to improve safety, reduce environmental impact, and increase profitability. Conventional monitoring and maintenance approaches are costly, reactive, and limited, leaving operators exposed to unexpected downtime and high operational expenses.
Ocean Information Services (OIS) is pioneering Industry 4.0 in offshore energy. Leveraging AI, robotics, and subsea IIoT, OIS delivers Asset Integrity Information-as-a-Service (AIIS)—a hybrid hardware + SaaS solution that provides continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, and actionable operational insights. Low-cost, AI-driven wireless sensing devices operate both above and below water, deployed autonomously, feeding digital twins that extend asset life, reduce risk, and enhance operational efficiency.
Greenbackers is pleased to introduce Ocean Information Services (OIS), that pioneers Industry 4.0 in offshore energy, using unique IP in Subsea IIoT, edge ML, and autonomous systems to accelerate offshore asset integrity and improve profitability and safety.
Why Ocean Information Services:
- Innovative technology: AIIS provides a turnkey, recurring-revenue solution with field-wide IIoT, autonomous deployment, and AI-driven analytics. Devices are free-issued, data is analyzed, and operational recommendations are delivered, enabling £0 CAPEX deployment for clients. The platform integrates a partner ecosystem and proprietary IP for competitive differentiation.
- Commercial traction: OIS has generated £1.5m revenue to date, profitable for three of the last four years, with a current run rate of £50k/month and 6% profit over the last eight months. Their first product is API17F qualified, and customers are preparing technical publications on its deployment.
- Market potential: The global Asset Integrity Management market is projected to grow from $31bn in 2025 to $47bn by 2029 (CAGR 10%).
