Mission

Changing the paradigm of subsea survey, science and security through modular, long range autonomous underwater vehicles.

Vision

Using sustainable, autonomous solutions to collect data on a scale to match the vastness of our oceans.

About Our Process

Throughout a project, Cellula works closely with clients to develop concepts into detailed design solutions for production, adapting the design to fit with a project’s requirements. 

1

Requirements Analysis

To better understand your situation, Cellula collaborates with your company to develop a performance matrix, which defines the objectives, requirements, and features of the ideal solution. The matrix is based on your company’s needs, along with research on your concept, and it outlines conditions for success that are used in all aspects of the engineering process.

2

Design Conceptualization

For new developments, our team, composed of experienced engineers, begins with Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) studies to draft conceptual designs for innovative & challenging applications.

Where customer requirements meet the capabilities of our products this phase is not required.

Upon completion, we create a design proposal detailing the technical specifications of our solution, the scope of work, the scope of supply, and a work package cost breakdown for your approval.

Build and production

Based on the approved proposal, we build and assemble the design in-house.

Cellula will assign a project manager to your project, who will be your primary point of contact with us.

4

Testing

Once completed, the product goes through rigorous testing to ensure all components of the performance matrix are completed, and that the product is safe for use.

To do this, we create a detailed testing plan that outlines how to show each requirement is met. For example, Cellula may put your product through sea trials, depending on the nature of your project.

5

Delivery, set-up, & after-sales support

When testing is completed and we can confirm the project is fully functional, the product will be delivered to your company. If agreed upon in the contract, personnel can be sent to perform set-up, training, and on-site support. 

After the product is delivered, Cellula will continue to provide after-sales and limited warranty support to ensure customer satisfaction, in accordance with the contract.
