Raa Labs' RaaEDGE platform is revolutionizing maritime operations with seamless IoT scalability. This article explores the streamlined process for implementing data-driven solutions across your fleet, ensuring increased efficiency, reduced costs, and minimized emissions. Dive into our step-by-step guide on how to ensure successful scaling of an IOT platform across your fleet.
Unlocking Shipping digitalisation by thinking in layers
Ships have transformed into data-rich environments, but this valuable data often remains untapped due to the fragmented and complex architecture of most vessels. In a recent Digital Ship Webinar held on October 12th, 2023, Raa Labs shared how our vision of a layered technology stack can contribute to solving these issues by providing shipowners unprecedented flexibility and optionality. This article dives deeper into what we mean by a layered approach and what the advantages are.
White Paper: Crafting a Successful Vessel Data Strategy
The maritime industry is navigating a sea of opportunities in the digital age. To succeed, shipping companies need to embrace data-driven decision-making based on a comprehensive vessel data strategy. In the recently published Raa Lab´s white paper "Crafting a Successful Vessel Data Strategy", the key success factors or succeeding with your vessel digitalisation journey are outlined.
Learnings from Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Learn from this Nor-Shipping 2023 seminar how Wallenius Wilhelmsen is leveraging their data foundation to get real financial, operational and environmental value from vessel data.
Nor-Shipping 2023: The Value of Connections
Raa Labs is a leading provider of vessel data and we are in the business of digital connections. The Raa Labs 2023 Nor-Shipping Social Event, however, is all about connecting with customers, partners and friends in a unique venue literally on the water.
Nor-Shipping 2023: The Value of Vessel Data
Join us for this Nor-Shipping seminar to get a front row seat to the learnings Wallenius Wilhelmsen made on its #digitalisation journey, what was required to become a #leader in vessel digitalisation and what opportunities it now creates.
Real time battery data
Battery packs help modern offshore vessels reduce emissions. Following a collaboration project between Solstad Offshore, Corvus Energy, VPS, Vard and Raa Labs, the usage of batteries can now be optimized according to actual operations, reducing emissions, and improving the return on investment.
The maritime internet of things
To support your needs to leverage your vessel data better, you need a modern IOT solution that allows you the flexibility to connect to anything, transferring data in real time to wherever you want it. This is why RaaEDGE comes with a built in wireless LoraWAN network, enabling the wireless vessel. Using our built in network capability, you can retrofit any system with wireless sensors, measuring anything from temperatures or gases to vibrations.
7% saving with high frequency data
In a recent Tradewinds article, Wallenius Wilhelmsen told about how they have achieved a proven fuel saving of 7% from using high frequency operational vessel data. The article emphasized how the savings achievement rests on the foundation of our RaaEDGE vessel IOT platform, allowing Wallenius Wilhelmsen to use high quality, reliable data for sophisticated AI-driven voyage optimisation.
Organizing for digital success
Successful digitalization initiatives depend on technology, but more importantly on how you organize the initiative and the competence and commitment of the people involved. Read more about how to set up your digitalization project for success.
The power of a vessel IOT platform
The Internet-of-things lie at the heart of vessel improvements both in operations, maintenance and customer value propositions. To make this happen there this a need for an onboard IOT platform. Read more about how the RaaEdge IOT platform can support you in your digitalisation journey.
Building regulatory compliance on data
Ensure efficient compliance with regulatory requirements by building on a scalable and system agnostic vessel data infrastructure.
Beware of the single purpose solution
Choosing the right infrastructure to support your long term digital needs is critical. The single purpose solutions for capturing data from an individual system will limit your digital potential as your needs develop. This is why a multi purpose, open and scalable solution is the best solution to ensure you have flexibility as you develop and scale your use of vessel data.
Choose the front end you want
A sound business strategy is always taking flexibility into account, being able to adapt, and switch around if needed. This is a competitive advantage. This applies for your data driven organization as well. Separating the vessel data layer and the layer that creates whatever output you need, with this data as input, gives you this highly attractive flexibility.
Competing on the Edge
Edge technology is one of the critical factors for the Internet-of-things revolution. For vessel owners it is a central part of your success. Learn more about why this is so important, but tricky, to get right.
It all begins with the digital vessel infrastructure
The fundamentals required for “anything digital” onboard the vessel. The critical layer which is required for digitalization success
Taking action from your data
Automating and simplifying processes using events and operational data in realtime allows you to realize the future operating model today.
Reliable operation of the onboard infrastructure
Ensuring stable operations of the infrastructure and reliable flow of data from the vessel is quite challenging. Vessels operate around the world, with a lot of stakeholders involved in the numerous technical aspects onboard.
Four fundamental digitalization principles
These four important principles should be on top of the agenda for vessel owners and operators seeking to digitalize their vessels.
You want to digitalize, now what?
Deciding to start a vessel digitalization initiative can be challenging. Where to begin? How to begin? What ensures success?
Why contextualization is critical
Vessel comparison is impossible without - if you want to use your operational vessel data in a meaningful way, you need to ensure proper contextualization of your data tags
