- USE CASE - MODFOX
Flexible and cost efficient
VJU Studio
VJU Studio software enabled the operators in FOX Subsea to develop the solution, eliminating the need to hire specialized software developer engineers.
The software VJU Studio is easy to use and to develop for programming and controlling the MODFOX system, saving many development hours for the customer.
A modular system
for subsea well intervention
FOX Subsea’s MODFOX system is a modular subsea control solution designed to optimize installation and testing of subsea Xmas Trees at depths down to 3000 meters. It is highly adaptable and can be reconfigured quickly to meet changes in operational sequences. The system is known for its energy efficiency, low environmental impact, and ability to be remotely operated from shore, reducing the need for offshore personnel.
Ixys have delivered both hardware and software to the MODFOX system including subsea gateways for integration with all tooling, sensors and communication with Xmas Tree control system.
“VJU Studio has allowed us to develop a safe and robust control system with remote operations capability, without the need of hiring specialized software delvopers. This has significantly reduced development time and operational costs for FOX Subsea.”
Bjørn Tore Lien, CCO at FOX Subsea
Cutting operational time,
cost and risk
MODFOX offers multiple configurations, including versions with umbilicals (SWOCS), ROV-based systems (RWOCS), and even wireless, battery-operated solutions. This flexibility allows it to be stationed permanently on the seabed, significantly cutting operational time, cost, and risk.
The system has proven particularly useful in challenging deep-water fields, such as those found off the coast of South America, where it has contributed to significant cost savings due to reduced HSE risks and streamlined operations.
