About
Planys Technologies delivers end-to-end underwater inspection solutions for critical infrastructure worldwide. Founded with a mission to eliminate catastrophic asset failures, the company combines marine robotics, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), and AI-driven digital analytics into a unified inspection ecosystem. Their fleet includes indigenously developed ROVs (Orca, Beluga, Trikhand), AUVs (Svaayatt, Tritanta), and crawler systems capable of operating at depths up to 120m, even in turbid water conditions. Each platform features HD cameras, laser defect quantification, SONAR surveys, corrosion monitoring, and water jet cleaning capabilities. The proprietary Planys Analytics Dashboard (PAD) aggregates visual and sensor data, providing asset owners and decision-makers with real-time, data-driven insights. Their Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) framework enables continuous monitoring and remote intelligence gathering. Planys serves a wide range of industries including ports and terminals, dams, bridges, process plants, and oil & gas facilities. They also offer defense-grade solutions for surveillance, detection, neutralization, and offensive underwater operations. With mobile offices in the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia, and growing operations across the Middle East, Europe, and South-East Asia, Planys has established a robust global footprint. The company holds multiple patents and has completed projects across 20+ countries, making it a trusted partner for underwater asset integrity management.
