Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Norway
How do I qualify for Innovation Norway grants for robotics?
Innovation Norway funds projects that address Norwegian industry challenges — offshore efficiency, aquaculture sustainability, and maritime autonomy are priority areas. Applications require a business plan, technology description, and market assessment. We help clients prepare applications — typical grants cover 30–50% of project costs.
What NORSOK standards must offshore robots meet?
Offshore robots must comply with NORSOK S-001 (technical safety), NORSOK Z-015 (temporary equipment), and DNV GL rules for classification of offshore units. ATEX/IECEx certification required for Zone 1/2 hazardous areas. We ensure all offshore deployments meet these standards.
Do you offer Norwegian-language support?
Yes — Norwegian and English bilingual documentation, training, and support. Our team has deep expertise in Norwegian offshore operations including Equinor APOS qualification, Aker BP vendor requirements, and Maritime Authority compliance.
Can your robots operate in Arctic and harsh offshore conditions?
Yes. We deploy systems rated to -40°C, IP68 waterproof, and NORSOK-compliant for North Sea and Barents Sea conditions. AUVs rated to 3,000m depth. De-icing packages and Arctic winterization available for topside equipment.
What's the process for Equinor vendor qualification?
Equinor requires vendors to pass the Achilles JQS (Joint Qualification System) supplier registration, APOS safety qualification, and technical competence assessment. We have active Equinor qualifications and help subcontractors navigate the process — typical timeline 3–6 months.
