Fuzhou, China | June 12-13, 2025 – Hydro-Tech participated as a supporting organization at the 4th New Era oceanographic surveying and Mapping Development Forum in Fuzhou, themed “AI + oceanographic surveying and Mapping.” The event gathered over 200 experts from universities, research institutes, and industry leaders to discuss cutting-edge advancements in AI-driven marine technologies.     As an invited expert speaker,Dr. Lu Dong, General Manager of Hydro-Tech Beijing, delivered a well-received keynote presentation on the company's advanced "Multi-Spectrum Underwater 3D Imaging System." His talk featured real-world applications of Hydro-Tech's MS8240 multi-frequency MBES, showcasing impressive measurement data collected during recent demonstrations across China and internationally. The presentation also highlighted the company's continued innovation in multibeam and side-scan sonar technologies,such as new generation MS8240, HydroSurvey 2024 software, MBPro software, and flagship products like MS8200 & MS400U MBES, SS3060 SSS. earning strong praise from attendees.     At the exhibition, Hydro-Tech showcased the Hydro-Tech's participation in this premier industry event not only reinforced its position as a technology leader but also created valuable opportunities for collaboration with marine science and industry professionals. The company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of underwater detection and mapping solutions.

As an important milestone of multibeam industry, Hydro-Tech debuts the innovative fully integrated multibeam echo sounder MS400C, a first-of-a-kind multibeam bathymetric system built-in sonar processor, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) & Sound Velocity Sensor (SVS) in one sonar head. So compact design advancement will change the conventional multibeam deployment method on small Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).   No More Sonar Processor Only one sonar head is all you need for USV! The installation turns out to be very quick and simple. First, mount sonar head to USV bottom, then connect the cables, one to power supply & Industrial Personal Computer (IPC), another to primary and the other to secondary GNSS antenna. Greatly reduce any possible mis-operation and cut down on the complicated training. At the same time, the ultra-compact MS400C also saves space in USV waterproof cabin. No More Overheating Everything including sonar processor, IMU and its computer system perfectly work in the enclosed housing of sonar head, which is immersed in water to cooling down. Thus combination avoid overheating even after long time working in super hot summer season since no more sonar processor or INS computer system exposed in strong sunshine.   Plug and Play Convenience All position…

Hydro-Tech announced the launch of MS8240, a new generation Multibeam Echo Sounder capable of working at multi-frequency from 150 kHz to 450kHz adjustable at 10kHz step and also high frequency of 500kHz & 600kHz or optional for 700kHz. This Multibeam platform revolutionizes the previous single frequency multibeam roadmap with more flexible working frequency, while enabling ultra-high resolution and fine target features at 500, 600 or 700kHz and super wide sounding range of depth at 150kHz. In order to have more customers experience the excellent performance of MS8240, we did sea trail of various frequency and comparison test to world leading brand’s famous model. To respect to our rival, we would not say the actual model name but just call it as “RX”. The test was done in a river around a bridge. Water depth is from 8 to 13 meters. We use our latest survey and data acquisition software, which can show the 3D point cloud real-time. Below is the result of 400kHz at left and 600kHz at right side.   Then we surveyed the bridge pier. The below picture is the result of RX. We can see the right angle turns to be some curve and the side edges of the bottom…

Rostock, Germany, November 5-7, 2024 — The coastal town of Rostock recently hosted Hydro 2024, a prestigious global conference focused on hydrographic surveying and ocean mapping technologies. This year's event saw and attracted participation from 53 leading marine electronics companies, as well as experts from around the world, all gathered to discuss the latest advances in marine technology. Among the exhibitors, we are one of the only two Chinese companies present, showcasing MS400U multibeam echo sounder in a live water demonstration. This innovative system captivated the attention of industry professionals during a live on-water demonstration, showcasing our prowess in acoustic algorithm and sonar technology accumulation. The highlight of the exhibition—on-water demonstration—saw our technical team do the sea trail near the breakwater of Rostock's harbor. With numerous rocks and complex terrain nearby, MS400U rose to the challenge and successfully completed the task of collecting underwater terrain data. The raw data collected during the demonstration was impressive. Without any post-processing nor noise point removal, the data was directly converted into point clouds, revealing a vivid three-dimensional seabed terrain map. The clean, accurate, and high-precision data demonstrated the MS400U system's outstanding performance in various aquatic environments, especially in terms of bathymetric accuracy and underwater target detection precision.…
