The goal is real-time pass/fail assessments during surveys, which the company expects could cut project schedules by ten days to two weeks per site.","company":"XOCEAN","industry":"Energy","aiCapabilities":["Computer Vision"],"technology":["AWS"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"The seabed at survey sites is scattered with hundreds of thousands of boulders that must be viewed and measured; this is currently done manually by a human and takes a lot of time.","solutionApproach":"XOCEAN is working to automate large parts of seabed data interpretation using AI built and deployed on AWS infrastructure, with the goal of enabling real-time pass/fail assessments during surveys to accelerate delivery timelines.","businessValue":"This approach could reduce project schedules by ten days to two weeks per site, while allowing experienced geophysicists to focus on higher-value analysis and interpretation.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/aws-pioneers-project/xocean/","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-10-03T05:47:05.448Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-10-03T05:47:05.448Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/xocean-builds-ai-on-aws-to-automate-seabed-survey-interpretation.
