SeeByte was founded in 2001 in Edinburgh, Scotland with the aim of bringing to market technologies designed at the world-class Ocean Systems Laboratory of Heriot-Watt University. OSL has a reputation of global excellence and is consulted by the world’s leading operators in the offshore, military and transportation sectors.
Founding CEO David Lane had a vision to radically improve underwater operations by combining streams of sensor-derived data from remote operated assets and create a “single integrated picture” to deliver situational awareness across some of the world’s most extreme locations.
By constantly improving its product capability and listening closely to market demands, SeeByte has been able to deliver on its promise of “Awareness Made Easy”. The team has achieved steady growth over the past few years be responding to industry-wide problems and embracing a philosophy of service excellence and the highest quality customer support.
Originally focused in serving individual customers, Seebyte provided bespoke solutions to complex problems. In the military market SeeTrack system was first demonstrated in numerous trials including AUV Fest 2001 and the MX series of NATO trials. SeeByte now employs 25 people and has achieved its first successful licensed product deployments including US Navy Special Clearance Team One and the Royal New Zealand Navy.
Most recently SeeTrack was demonstrated during the RIMPAC 2006 exercises in the Pacific Rim in operations in the Atlantic Frontier and Autotracker (part of the SeeTrack Offshore family) was used to track autonomously a world-record-breaking 21 km of subsea pipeline.
For the future SeeByte remains committed to total customer satisfaction through the development of products that solve the key market problems and maintaining the highest possible standards of service.
