Solution Developed by Softeq for Sky-Futures Wins Silver Stevie® Award as Energy Industry Innovation of the Year
Houston, TX (PRWEB) August 23, 2017 -- Sky-Futures was named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the “Energy Industry Innovation of the Year” category in The 14th Annual International Business Awards. The winning nomination showcases the drone-based industrial inspection platform, developed by Softeq, a full-stack development company.
Sky-Futures provides UAV-powered vertical inspection services for the energy sector players enabling them to handle the risk, speed and cost associated challenges of FPSO tanks inspections performed by human workers. Sky-Futures collaborated with Softeq to carry out implementation of their inspection data platform, Expanse, with comprehensive document-centric workflow management.
Expanse features zero subjectivity and hosts enterprise-focused tools to revolutionize the way energy companies inspect and plan maintenance. Capable of storing, tracking, and algorithmic processing of large multimedia data packages collected by UAVs during rigs inspections, the cloud solution allows to pinpoint and categorize problem areas. Other mission-critical features include advanced analysis providing business critical integrity information in a 3D environment, as well as training for remote pilots and inspection engineers.
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 executives worldwide who participated on 12 juries. “A highly innovative offering that's already made a huge impact,” commented one of the judges on the Sky-Futures’ and Softeq’s award application.
“It has been the close working relationship between Sky-Futures and Softeq that has enabled us to deliver Expanse so successfully. Softeq have the technical and software skills to bring our vision to life. Their list of innovations with us and other customers is part of the reason why we continue to use Softeq.” commented Adrian Karl, CTO at Sky-Futures, on the achievement.
