Reliable situational awareness—even in disconnected environments

BMT IRMS (Independent Remote Monitoring System) is an autonomous solution engineered to monitor offshore assets in the most challenging conditions.

Originally developed for offshore facilities, IRMS provides near real-time access to environmental and structural data from remote assets, enabling operators to:

  • Track platform responses to environmental forces
  • Maintain operational awareness from anywhere in the world
  • Manage reboarding risks with confidence

Trusted performance in remote and risk-prone settings

Offshore oil and gas rig monitoring

Offshore oil and gas rig monitoring
BMT IRMS is a self-powered remote “black box” that tracks platform dynamics, position, and environmental conditions — even in harsh offshore environments.

Temporary abandonment or evacuation scenarios

During evacuations, the system continues transmitting environmental, positional, and imagery data, providing full situational awareness while uncrewed.

Environmental compliance and event logging

BMT IRMS logs real-time environmental data and imagery, supporting regulatory compliance, incident reporting, and post-event review.

Real-time data capture for insurance and risk analysis

The system delivers continuous performance data, plots, and imagery for insurers and operators to assess risk, damage, and claims in real time.

Drilling and production asset reactivation planning

By capturing continuous data during downtime, IRMS enables safe, informed planning for reboarding rigs and production platforms.
