Origin 65 combines state-of-the-art acoustics, sensors, and data into one payload – opening up an unprecedented view of the deep.
It’s a versatile, reliable and high performance ADCP with built-in data processing, pressure inverted echosounder (PIES) and an integrated modem for remote access. Depth rated to 4,100 m, Origin 65 can deliver for your operations again and again.
Its pioneering satellite-dish design allows Origin 65 to match or exceed the acoustic performance of competing instruments. All while reducing your costs, prolonging battery life and increasing robustness to pressure cycling – a long-standing problem with low-frequency ADCPs.
Connect to the subsea world – integrated modem and PIES
Check or reprogramme your Origin 65 acoustically while on the seabed via its integrated acoustic modem. There’s no need to retrieve the device or interrupt your operation.
During your operations, Pressure Inverted Echosounder (PIES) measurements are interleaved with current profiles. This allows time-of-flight (TOF) and average sound velocity (SV) to be determined in-situ alongside the ADCP sampling and the data fused in PD0, delivering all data time-aligned in one place.
At the end of a deployment, the modem can be used to trigger the integrated acoustic release, allowing the device to float to the surface for retrieval.
Don't just settle for standard – introducing A-gram and B-gram data
Your Origin 65 delivers industry standard PD0 data format as default, but why settle for standard when you can have up to ten times greater resolution?
Origin generates our exclusive A-gram and B-gram formats. These offer up to ten times greater spatial resolution than PD0 and expose raw acoustic data which you can them interrogate for your specific operations.
Origin ADCP – Edge enabled
Edge lets you run data processing apps on Origin 65 which are customised to your exact needs. The system will produce the information you are most interested in, rather than bulky raw data that would normally be processed once the device is recovered. You can harvest this data as a file or as a live stream, either through a cabled connection or Origin 65’s integrated acoustic modem.
What is Edge? Discover the key to your customised ADCP data…
Edge computing gives you the ability to write your own apps for Origin via our Software Development Kit (Edge SDK) so that you can focus on the data you need from your operation. To get you started, some of the apps already available to download include simple background currents and quality metrics.
Data gathered by your Origin can also be processed to your requirements within Edge before it is harvested. This minimises both the amount of unnecessary data in each upload and the time taken for each harvest.
Origin 65 enhances Gulf of Mexico current forecasting by combining deep profiling, real-time data, and adaptive reporting—advancing safety, research and industry operations in challenging ocean conditions.
