Ship and Information Management

Intelligent systems in shipping and port operations are becoming increasingly important these days. We combine technologies from the fields of image and speech recognition to make shipping safer or to optimize processes in the port environment. The use of mobile devices and handhelds offers the opportunity to simplify the exchange of information on board and contributes to efficient processes in the maritime working environment. In order to test your new integrated applications at an early stage and make them interactive for all participants, we use physical as well as virtual models of networked systems including cloud connection, which enable the provision of data in real time.

Today, machine learning is rightly considered a key technology for optimizing business processes in maritime logistics and shipping. In order to seize the opportunities it offers, we help you to convert your existing data into suitable key figures and insights by means of targeted evaluation, thus clearly highlighting existing potentials. In addition, we support you in the development and implementation of company-specific forecasting models as well as the integration of machine learning into existing solutions from proof-of-concept to live operation.

Digitalization and networking form the basis of the maritime logistics of the future. We support you in the design and implementation of your digitalization strategy to enable efficiency and quality improvements in your business processes. In doing so, we show which work processes can be digitized and automated and then implement your specific applications. When developing software for your needs, we offer you the full service portfolio from non-invasive methods for data acquisition to agile software development. We place a special emphasis on the cyber security aspect being an essential part of the design and development.

We support you with our many years of expertise in the analysis, evaluation and development of innovative predictive and condition-based maintenance solutions to continuously increase the availability of vessels. For established strategies such as Planned Maintenance, we offer optimization opportunities through targeted data evaluation to improve your maintenance regime. At the same time, we work with the maritime supply industry on new services and business models enabled by the digitalization of ship operations.

With the SCEDAS® software suite, you benefit from a crewing solution that has proven itself over many years not only in practice from the container to the cruise industry, but also in application areas beyond the maritime industry. SCEDAS® offers you individual support for short-term personnel deployment planning on board by determining and proposing mathematically optimized, detailed watch and deployment plans. And we have also developed solutions for the medium- and long-term personnel and career planning of entire fleets. These solutions increase the ability to plan for seafarers, guarantee the quality requirements of customers and reduce costs at the same time.
