BUDDY in action
Rough use takes its toll: offshore, it’s not a question of if something will break, but when. The problem arises when spare parts are not readily available. Fortunately, 80 % of BUDDY’s components can be printed within 24 hours and delivered to you in no time.
Damage is inevitable, but downtime is not.


Designed to handle change.
What you deploy today is just the beginning. Thanks to its modular architecture, you can adapt, extend, or reconfigure your system solution if your requirements change – there’s no need to replace it!

BUDDY is a great choice, but there is always something more to exlore
