Teledyne CARIS

Teledyne CARIS develops software solutions for the marine GIS and hydrographic community, focusing on turning sonar, lidar, bathymetric, and related marine survey data into usable information for charting, navigation, and operational decision-making. Its software supports the full hydrographic workflow from data acquisition and processing through validation, analysis, product creation, and dissemination. The company's approach is built around its Ping-to-Chart workflow, which links the initial sensor data all the way to final nautical charts and other marine information products. That workflow serves hydrographic offices, survey companies, ports, defence teams, maritime authorities, research institutions, and ocean-mapping initiatives worldwide. The software is grounded in real-world hydrographic workflows and helps users handle large datasets, improve data quality, and maintain accuracy while meeting industry and IHO standards. A major part of the business is hydrographic data processing. Teledyne CARIS provides tools for processing sonar and lidar data, including bathymetry, seafloor imagery, water column data, and other marine geospatial information. It offers software for managing and validating datasets, creating contours and depth areas, classifying or cleaning sonar noise, and supporting real-time or near real-time processing. Another major focus is chart production, where the company supplies software for paper charts, electronic navigational charts, and standards-based workflows tied to S-57 and S-100. Its cloud-enabled services and database-oriented products support secure data exchange, shared workflows, and automated production. The company serves distinct markets with tailored solutions. For hydrographic offices, it provides end-to-end support for acquisition, processing, analysis, validation, and dissemination. For defence users, it focuses on validated seabed and navigation data that can support mission-ready charts and operational safety. For ports, it offers tools for monitoring seabed changes, dredging support, and keeping waterways safe and navigable. For survey companies, it concentrates on efficient processing, quality control, and faster delivery of results from offshore operations. Teledyne CARIS backs its software with support and learning resources, including training, technical support, software versions, licenses, downloads, and academic partnering, so services around software adoption and ongoing use form part of the offering as well.
