“The critical element in any IoT system is the availability of timely, high-quality data through reliable low-cost connections from remotely-located machines, equipment and systems,” Danelec CEO Hans Ottosen explained to NauticExpo e-magazine. “Not a problem in land-based transportation modes, but a tremendous hurdle for ships at sea—it would be prohibitively difficult and expensive to create a custom data network for each ship.”
The company’s answer is DanelecConnect, the industry’s first open-architecture universal shipboard data collection and transfer platform. And at SMM in early September in Hamburg, Danelec announced a strategic partnership with satellite communications giant Inmarsat, which launched its new maritime Fleet Data IoT service at the show.
