Developed by Inmarsat and Danelec Marine, and made commercially available earlier this year, Fleet Data collects data from on board sensors, pre-processes that data, and uploads it to a central cloud-based database, equipped with a dashboard and an Application Process Interface (API).
“IB Influencing Business has developed its own data collecting box,” explained IB marine CEO, Giampiero Soncini, “and we have already installed them on hundreds of ships. But of course, using dedicated hardware such as Fleet Data, which is already installed, makes our task of installing our cloud- based solution extremely easy, and much cheaper to our customers. So we definitively welcome this agreement with Inmarsat.”
“We are delighted that IB will become a certified application provider for Fleet Data,” said Marco Cristoforo Camporeale, Head of Digital Solutions, Inmarsat Maritime. “This partnership will help overcome key difficulties for those challenged by aggregating vessel data on-board and getting it efficiently onshore into an integrated fleet control room to improve performance.
“It will allow ship operators and managers to access, control and analyse their own data, through IB applications on Fleet Data and via a secure platform that is fully scalable, fleet-wide and now commercially available on both Fleet Xpress and FleetBroadband,” he added.
