There’s this company called Beam working on a device called Scout, set to launch in 2025. It’s built with AI, real-time 3D mapping, and precise navigation to completely change how underwater inspections are done.
They’re saying it’ll save time, cut costs, and even reduce gas emissions. Plus, with commercial diving being one of the most dangerous jobs out there, fewer divers would have to go underwater and risk their lives.
But then there’s the other side of it. What happens to the jobs? If companies start using these devices for inspections, it’s going to mean fewer people are needed. AI replacing humans isn’t new, but it’s always tough to see how that balance plays out.
It feels like this could completely reshape the industry. And with technology moving so fast, it’s probably not something companies are going to wait on. If you’re in marine construction or diving, this might be something to keep an eye on.
2025 isn’t that far away. Definitely curious to see how this impacts the field—less risk and more efficiency is great, but it’s going to bring some big changes.
