BeYond's SMART-COUNT, Cable Counter - 14" & 20"

Precision Wireless Cable Measurement for Subsea Operations

Product Overview

The BeYond SMART-COUNT is a modern, field-proven cable measurement system designed to track the paid-out length of cables, umbilicals, and ropes during subsea deployments. It is a significant upgrade from legacy mechanical counters, utilizing wireless technology and solar power to provide a reliable, cable-free monitoring solution for the back deck.

The system is available in two primary sizes, 14" and 20", to accommodate different cable diameters and minimum bend radii (MBR) requirements.

  • Solar Powered: Integrated solar panels provide a sustainable power source, ensuring the internal Li-ion battery remains charged without manual intervention, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
  • Wireless Data Transmission: Uses 433 MHz / 915 MHz frequencies to transmit data up to 300m away to a receiver unit, keeping the back-deck clear of tripping hazards.
  • Precision Sensing: High-resolution sensors provide count increments as fine as 0.25 units (optional), with data displayed in both meters and feet.
  • Inbuilt Anti-Jump System: Features specialized Delrin guides to prevent the cable from jumping out of the groove during slack-tension events.
  • Multi-Format Software: The Windows-compatible software displays real-time length and speed, offers logging options, and provides user-selectable data strings (RS232/USB) for integration into survey software like HYPACK or SonarWiz.
