Australian autonomous systems company Abyss Solutions will establish its new European hub in Aberdeen.
The company, delivers data-driven engineering assessments for critical infrastructure, has locations in Australia, the US, UAE, Brazil and Pakistan.
Moving into a new office at Neo Space in the city’s Riverside Drive, Abyss Solutions is now actively recruiting across the region.
Founded by four scientists and engineers from The University of Sydney in 2014, Abyss Solutions uses machine learning and robotics to inspect assets and detect anomalies such as corrosion for critical infrastructure across land, sea, air and space.
From the Hoover Dam to the Sydney Opera House and water supply aqueducts in Scotland, Abyss has provided asset owners with the information they need to ensure the vitality of these structures.
Venture capital firm AirTree recently backed the business with $15m, driving its regional strategies, which include the new European hub.
John Murray, head of region for Europe and Africa, commented: “With mature assets in the North Sea, it made sense to create our new European hub in Aberdeen to support clients on the ground.
“We strategically selected this location due to the proximity of the UK North Sea, Norwegian and Dutch waters, and the multitude of engineering experience that exists here.”
He added: “Our Abyss Fabric solution conducts inspection at scale and analyses corrosion, enabling our clients to reduce OPEX, prioritise maintenance plans, extend the life of their asset, and reduce emissions by enabling remote inspection work thus helping our clients achieve their net zero targets.”
