SUBSEA METROLOGY
Ipoz Systems LLC of Texas now offers underwater navigation and 3D position and orientation with high accuracy. Metrology tools for 1000m and 3000m depth have been successfully tested for prefabricated jumper installations. "I am glad to report that our metrology tools perform well at depth and are competitive with the highest grade of Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) currently used for precise measurements at depth" declares Joel Gillet, Vice-President of IPOZ, "we are ready to deploy them to any ocean at any time."
PIGGING
The pipeline survey (pigging) navigation department of IPOZ is busier than ever with thousands of miles of survey added to the foreseeable work load for 2010. After many years of data processing specialization, IPOZ who is the "Inertial Center of Excellence" is finally offering inertial positioning and orientation hardware to pigging companies who want the whole service, provided from scratch. By delivering extremely accurate positions and orientations at high rate (400Hz typical), IPOZ services improve dramatically over linear location information (odometer) that many pigging companies offer. IPOZ also proposes full complementary survey services (accurate GPS or theodolite) as well as full Geographic Information database management (GIS) to customers.
INERTIAL SURVEY BACKPACKS
We are currently demonstrating our revolutionary Inertial Backpacks and offer them for lease at competitive prices, primarily for Energy Exploration (seismic). Our inertial backpack offers high accuracy 3D survey services comparable to an RTK GPS backpack of the type you see surveying along the highways, but with the added advantages of operating in forested environments as well. GPS is accurate and productive, but doesn't work under thick canopy or in urban canyons. IPOZ backpacks operate in all environments where GPS is usable plus jungles, swamps, inside buildings, underground (mines) etc…

SEPT 2009 - IPOZ Hires Joel Gillet as Vice-president
Joel brings a long experience of survey, navigation and inertial applications, in particular
in the Oil & Gas exploration and production fields. He pioneered the use of strap-down inertial systems for land survey in 1996, developed the first
inertial backpacks for both civilian and military applications and is at the origin of the first successful inertial seabed metrologies in 2008 and 2009
offshore campaigns.
IPOZ wins major inertial pigging project for Pemex in Mexico.
OCT 2008 - IPOZ Offers Pipeline Pigging
IPOZ offers its own inertial hardware for high accuracy pipeline pigging positions. After years of specializing in the processing of other companies inertial pigging data IPOZ Systems llc finally created its own line of inertial systems for the precise positioning and orientation of pipeline features surveyed with smart pig systems. IPOZ delivers the same high level of deliverables including 3D visualizations and full GIS databases with their equipment, as they do for subcontracted projects.
IPOZ exhibited at the Houston DP Conference at the Westchase Hilton on October 9-10. A demo system of WinINS, the new aided inertial software platform designed by IPOZ was on display.
SEP 2007 - IPOZ Starts Trading
IPOZ, a new company dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the area of inertial navigation began operations from it's Houston base today.
The Company combines proven experience in advanced software design with the facility to provide systems design, support and consultancy services.
IPOZ has secured the services of proven individuals in the oil industry with key skills in the areas of inertial positioning; offshore survey, land seismic and pipeline pigging.
In addition, IPOZ has access to a world leading range of aided inertial navigation product solutions.
