We often hear ship owners and operators express concerns about the technical and cost implications of developing system and sensor networks. Whilst we would say these costs are far outweighed by the voyage efficiencies gained, including reducing demanding manual data requests distracting crew from more important work, it is important the digital transformation is practical and cost effective.

In this segment of the Connected Conference eyeGauge and ScanReach show us how existing gauges and intruments can be turned into sensors and how advanced wireless technology can reduce the need for expensive cabling in creating a network.
