High ROI from investment in data
“I have not seen any company that has come further in digitalizing ships’ operational data and delivering it to the actual decision-makers”.
The statement is not made by us even if it about Raa Labs. It was made by Lasse Kristoffersen, the CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the world´s leading RoRo carrier, in a recent Tradewinds article.
Increase safety with digital processes
Digitalizing crew processes with advanced checklists and enhance these checlists with real time sensor data opens a new range of possibilities for vessel owners and operators. This both reduces risk and improve the safety onboard their vessels. The digital audit trail and stricter adherence to guidelines surface as additional value drivers – making this an attractive use case for many vessel owners and operators.
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.
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
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.
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.
