Challenges

Survey engineers and researchers in the subsea industry faced significant challenges accessing technical manuals, troubleshooting issues, and obtaining critical information quickly. These difficulties led to operational inefficiencies and downtime, impacting productivity and increasing costs. In an industry where precision and timely responses are critical, the lack of immediate access to technical information can result in prolonged equipment downtime, misdiagnosis of technical issues, and ultimately, increased operational costs. The subsea environment, being one of the most challenging and hostile operational environments, necessitates that engineers and technicians have ready access to reliable information to make informed decisions promptly.

Solution

No Limit partnered with Unique Group to create Aquila Subsea, an AI-driven chat solution designed to provide instant and accurate responses to a wide range of technical queries. This solution is based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), leveraging a comprehensive database of over 10,000 survey equipment solutions, including manuals, data sheets, and manufacturer information. The database is continuously updated to include the latest technical information and best practices, ensuring that subsea professionals receive precise and reliable support at all times. By integrating AI technology, Aquila Subsea can interpret and understand complex technical queries, providing users with detailed and accurate answers in real-time. This innovation represents a significant leap forward in how technical support is provided in the subsea industry, reducing the reliance on manual searches and human intervention.
