How Egil Kristoffersen & Sønner found their missing Blueye Pioneer

In January 2020, one of our customers', Egil Kristoffersen & Sønner lost their Blueye Pioneer during an operation at their aquaculture site in North of Norway. After reaching out for help on Facebook and providing information about their drone, it was finally found on the shoreline further up North - after going missing ashore for months. The thrusters and tether were damaged when we received the drone for repair in the Blueye office. We could fix their drone and send it back within two days to Egil Kristoffersen & Sønner. They were also able to retrieve and see video and images from their operation. We understand how valuable time is for our clients, so we make sure to solve issues quickly to reduce downtime.

The Blueye Help Center

We have also built the Blueye Help Center, where you can find support articles, FAQs, video tutorials, and illustrated guides to help you perform self-service and solve issues independently. All our drones are shipped with a base kit containing spare parts and tools for easy maintenance. With the Help Center tutorials on hand, we enable our customers' to fix straightforward issues themselves and save downtime. We believe in working proactively versus reactively as part of building an easy-to-use solution. Our team regularly updates the Helpcenter.

Most of our customers use video tutorials and articles for training and educating their ROV pilots. The Arctic University of Tromsø uses our video tutorials to train their students and researchers.

You should be able to work frictionless from start to end; From purchasing to handling to maintaining. That is why we put all our efforts into every step of the customer's journey so that you can get the best underwater drone in the market.
