Integrated Robotic Total Station - iRTS

Zupt can offer an Integrated Robotic Total Station (IRTS) to aid in providing real-time position, elevation, and vertical velocity data for monopiles during installation. An IRTS offers the advantage of automatically tracking a prism with high accuracy up to 400m meters away. The solution is an integrated robotic total station, IMU, and RTK GNSS solution. This solution ensures precise tolerances are met by providing an absolute position for the tracked prism on the hammer as well as the rate of penetration of the monopile, making it an ideal choice for monopile installation operations. The data from the IRTS is real-time, time-tagged data with a known “time of validity” for each observation.

The iRTS system integrates a Leica TS16 robotic total station, a Trimble GNSS receiver, and a navigation-grade IMU. Purpose-built for offshore applications, it tracks prisms mounted on vibro-hammers during pile installation and provides real-time rate-of-penetration data to reduce pile run risk and ensure accurate final elevation.


Integrated Robotic Total Station Key Features:

  • Automatic prism tracking
  • Real-time monitoring of structure position in an absolute reference frame.
  • Adaptable to both fixed and floating vessels.
  • Dynamic IRTS accuracy within +/-50mm 2 sigma at ranges up to 80m meters.
  • GNSS integration for absolute positioning and elevation accuracy.
  • Can be deployed high up on the vessel for ideal GNSS visibility and controlled from a remote location.

 

Precision That Drives Progress in Offshore Wind

Monopile installation success starts with millimeter-level accuracy. Zupt's Integrated Robotic Total Station (iRTS) solution delivers real-time, high-precision positioning and orientation data to support critical phases of offshore wind foundation installation.

Whether on a motion-compensated pile gripper or a survey frame, iRTS enables rapid decision-making, reduces installation times, and minimizes rework, all without compromising accuracy.

Our Story

Our Story

Founded in 2005, Zupt began with a clear mission: to improve the accuracy, safety, and environmental impact of navigation and positioning systems used in complex survey operations. Starting in the onshore seismic industry, our team was frustrated by the time-consuming and disruptive nature of traditional land survey methods.

To solve this, we introduced A-PINS, a two-person inertial navigation system that drastically improved efficiency over traditional methodologies in GNSS denied areas. This then led to the creation of B-PINS, a backpack-portable inertial navigation system designed for safer and more efficient data acquisition. B-PINS has since been deployed worldwide, surveying tens of thousands of kilometers in remote, difficult environments.

Building on this success, we expanded our focus to the offshore energy industry, specifically to subsea metrology operations. Our goal remained the same: streamline survey operations, improve precision, and reduce time offshore. We developed advanced inertial subsea metrology solutions that have saved thousands of vessel hours and significantly lowered the carbon footprint of offshore construction and inspection projects.

Today, Zupt continues to innovate across the offshore energy sector, including remote metrology, subsea 3D modeling, and offshore wind monopile positioning in support of the renewables industry. We specialize in integrating inertial navigation, robotic total stations, and sensor fusion technologies to deliver accurate, reliable data with reduced offshore risk.

All of our key technologies are developed in-house by a highly experienced engineering and operations team. From early field deployment to fully remote autonomous solutions, we focus on making complex technology easy to use and delivering results faster than traditional methods.

Zupt remains a nimble, independent company trusted by global leaders in offshore energy, marine construction, and subsea inspection. Our technology helps clients reduce vessel time, improve accuracy, and operate more sustainably.

 

FAQ

Q: How big is Zupt?
A: Zupt has a core team of 20 full-time staff. To support our offshore operations, we also work with a trusted group of experienced contractors, many of whom have partnered with us for years. We regularly conduct training and certification programs on our core services to ensure a qualified workforce is ready when project demand increases.

 

Q: Do you sell products or services?
A: We offer both. Zupt provides offshore services with skilled personnel and specialized equipment for a variety of offshore marine construction survey projects. We also exclusively sell certain offshore products, such as Fusion Splice and MicroTTU. However, some of the sensors used in our services, like those involved in jumper metrology with our C-PINS inertial navigation system, are not available for direct sale. These are operated only by Zupt-trained personnel to deliver accurate, certified data to our clients.

 

Q: Where do you work?
