Thinking about operational vessel data and how to unlock value from it, the first thing most people think about are analytics and dashboards, allowing you to gain greater insights in how you operate your vessels. What really matters though, is being able to take action on your data and actually do something different, faster or better than you would otherwise have done. A key element of taking action on the data is automating processes and simplifying or even making work tasks redundant. This represents a different, and often overlooked, area of potential value creation.
If you had the data available, what vessel events may trigger actions? And what action would you take? These questions can be answered in as many ways as there are vessel owners and operators – but they are fundamental. The way you operate your vessels on a day-to-day basis can be improved based on live vessel data events.
Imagine one of your vessels entering a geofenced area that you have defined, for instance the approach to a specific port. This triggers an automatic sms/email to inform you and automatically launches a checklist for vessel crew to complete prior to arrival: The checklist can be specific to the port in question and vary depending on local regulation and reporting needs in different ports. By ensuring that all necessary procedures have been completed and requirements met, you smooth the port call and minimize the risk of unwanted delays - automatically. This may sound like the future, but this is what RaaEdge can help you do.
Creating processes, simple or complex, based on data from vessel events and interaction with crew opens up a plethora of opportunities for any vessel owner and operator to improve their operations. It really only comes down to your imagination of how you can use data and events to improve your processes.
The real life test of connecting vessels are improved operational processes. Building your operational processes on RaaEdge is the first step towards the operational model of tomorrow.
