Brayden Wray is Director of Sales at Reach Systems, where he leads commercial strategy for subsea imaging and tether management systems used in critical inspection environments. Based in Windsor, Ontario, he works with dive contractors, utilities, and engineering teams across North America and internationally, supporting applications where inspection data must hold up to technical, regulatory, and operational scrutiny.
Brayden focuses on bridging the gap between field operations and decision-makers, ensuring systems deployed in the water produce outputs that are not only usable in real time, but defensible after the fact. His work supports inspection workflows where video and data are reviewed by engineers, asset owners, and regulators, often in environments where clarity and consistency directly impact outcomes.
At Reach Systems, he has helped position digital diver camera systems and tethered inspection solutions in demanding applications such as dam and nuclear inspections. He works directly with dive teams and asset owners to align technology with real-world constraints, from visibility and access to data handling and reporting, with a focus on reducing friction between capture and review.
Prior to this role, Brayden worked extensively with remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems, helping drive their adoption into mainstream inspection workflows. He focused on moving ROVs from exploratory tools to reliable inspection platforms by improving deployment, aligning capabilities with inspection requirements, and ensuring captured footage could stand up to engineering and regulatory review.
Brayden’s approach is grounded in practical outcomes: reducing repeat work, improving confidence in inspection results, and ensuring what is captured underwater holds up to what comes next. He brings a field-driven perspective to inspection technology, focused on performance across the full inspection lifecycle.
In this session, Brayden draws on his experience working with dive contractors, engineers, and asset owners to explore how inspection clarity impacts decision-making in dam and nuclear environments, and why the standard is not just whether video is captured, but whether it holds up after the dive.
