Hidrocibalae Launches Automation <a working practices. The platform brings them into one structured, controlled environment and makes automation used daily by Hidrocibalae's own teams available to the software handles much of the workflow, teams often complete the remaining steps manually or rely on internal scripts. Based on Hidrocibalae’s production experience, a processor working manually detects around 400 objects in an eight-hour day. At that rate, a survey containing 10,000 boulders requires approximately 25 processor-days of manual detection.
Marelia automates structured, repetitive work of this kind, helping teams process large datasets more efficiently and giving specialists more time for quality control and interpretation. Results load into a built-in map viewer, where the operator reviews them and retains final judgment.
The platform works alongside the processing standard exports. At launch, it offers four commercial modules: Core Geoprocessing Engine, MBES Interpretation, SSS & SAS Interpretation and Sub-seabed Interpretation. It runs on the operator’s own machine and processes data locally, without uploading it. Client data stays within the client’s environment, while Hidrocibalae retains ownership of its underlying tools and intellectual property.
Additional modules are planned for 2027, covering seabed mobility monitoring, magnetometer interpretation, pipeline eventing and automated exports.
