Description

Teledyne PDS is of-the-shelf software and developed to solve the variety of challenges that arise from each specific task in the main business segments served by Teledyne Marine. It interfaces with a wide range of survey instruments such as Lidar, Multibeam and Singlebeam Echosounders, and is an optimal tool for interfacing to a variety of periphery sensors, including dredge and construction sensors, sound velocity measurements, positioning, motion systems and most other devices that output data.

Teledyne PDS is an optimized solution for both Teledyne Marine products and almost all other available systems in the market from recognized manufacturers, and enables immediate data visualization and quality control, so you can view results as images or numerically in real time. The software is designed to be used in the maritime world with an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn. Support is provided worldwide by Teledyne Marine expert surveyors including survey assistance and training of operators.

With Teledyne PDS you only need one software suite to collect, process and deliver data with in the same workflow.
