Salunda, a UK-headquartered firm specializing in red-zone safety monitoring technology, has secured the first installation of its patented zone monitoring technology in Australia and the wider Asia Pacific (APAC) region, thanks to a deal to deploy its zone monitoring solution on one of Transocean’s rigs working in Australian waters.

Salunda describes the contract to install its HaloGuard zone monitoring solution on the Transocean Endurance rig in Australia as “a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy,” since it represents the first deployment of the firm’s next-generation AI server, a combined sensor and machine vision fusion, and fully IECEx Zone 1 certified Orbs 3D ranging cameras.
