SkyLab’s in-house developed data transport accelerator platform (STA™) is able to overcome current limitations of satellite communications whilst at sea in the provision of real-time monitoring and management of plant, equipment, crew’s health, systems and communications. This will empower the large scale adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the Maritime sector. Using data securely ingested by SkyLab’s Multi-Access Edge Computing and processed by its Data Logistics Platforms, shipping companies will gain actionable insights into the state of their ships and crew, whilst ports can leverage on those data to provide timely and value-added services when ships call. Shipping lines will reap operational efficiencies and monetary benefits from faster turnaround at ports of call too.
