BeeX

BeeX is a highly disruptive, Singapore-based deep-tech startup and marine robotics company fundamentally transforming underwater asset inspection through Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS). Born as a spin-off from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and founded by Grace Chia and Eng Wei, the company operates at the absolute cutting edge of subsea autonomy. Under the hood, BeeX designs and deploys advanced Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs)—such as the A.IKANBILIS™ and BETTA™ drones—paired with their proprietary SAMBAL™ software suite. This powerful integration enables real-time 2D/3D visualization, pulsed eddy current (PEC), and cathodic protection assessments. Their primary target audience spans massive stakeholders across the maritime, offshore wind energy, and defense sectors who desperately need to safeguard submerged critical infrastructure like turbine foundations, moorings, and subsea cables. What sets BeeX apart in the traditionally resource-heavy marine inspection landscape is its staggering operational efficiency; completely eliminating the need for highly specialized vessels or human divers, thereby slashing CO2 emissions by up to 95%, reducing on-site personnel by 70%, and cutting overall operational costs in half while delivering pristine, georeferenced data at unprecedented speeds.
