Where Innovation Shapes Every Solution
At Ausco, innovation is at the core of everything we do. For more than 75 years, we have been engineering solutions that perform in the toughest environments – mining, offshore, subsea, remote operations, and defence. Today, our Research and Development programs are centred on Remote and Autonomous Systems and Artificial Intelligence (RAS-AI), enabling smarter, safer, and more efficient operations in extreme conditions.
Our culture of innovation ensures every system we design is not only fit for today’s mission but also adaptable to tomorrow’s challenges.
We specialise in the development of:
- Remotely operated systems: robust and precise platforms for inspection, intervention, and maintenance.
- Autonomous underwater and surface systems: capable of independent operation, reducing risk to personnel while extending mission endurance.
- Tooling and control systems: integrating advanced sensors, machine learning, and robotics to deliver intelligent decision-making, adaptive behaviours, and predictive maintenance capabilities.
