Bringing live vessel data ashore

Bringing live vessel data ashore with the BLUE BOX onboard will open endless opportunities. Our experience with system deliveries shows that a shipowner can reduce the fuel consumption. This is done by analysing the vessel’s data and thereby operating the vessel smarter and more efficiently with actionable insights. Transmitting data ashore will lead to better vessel management and a more efficient fleet handling. When analysing data to support and evaluate your decisions, you can better get the best out of your vessel's potential.

The vessel data from X-CONNECT® products or other alarm, monitoring and automation systems are encrypted and buffered in case of a lost Internet connection, transmitted to a cloud server and accessed through standardized database queries.

Scope of delivery of the ULSTEIN BLUE BOX.

Vessel owners can access, present, extract and analyse data on their own using any tool with database integration.

For ships running on the X-CONNECT® system, there is no requirement for additional hardware. A small cabinet is needed onboard when using a 3. party automation system. The crew can install this with support from our service engineers.

BLUE DASHBOARD

The fleet dashboard from the Blue Box is a powerful tool for getting valuable insights into your operations.

Custom data tiles, in combination with vessel tracking, let you view important information at a glance, such as fuel consumption and efficiency, power management and more.

Mobile Friendly

The mobile-friendly design makes your vessel or fleet status and data easy to access globally.

Diagnostics

Data is provided as raw and processed in browser graphs and as file downloads. This makes in-depth analysis easier and more valuable. The overall efficiency is also improved when the team ashore and onboard can work together with the same diagnostic views.

Features

Monitor your vessel from your computer or smart phone. Dashboard presenting vessel location, alarms, signals and key performance indicators can be accessed from our new web portal. The content provided on this service will continuously grow based on customer feedback.

Signals can be extracted to excel or a desired database in an easy way. This enables users to make reports to simplify operations based on your company's requirements.

The BLUE BOX collects the signals from any vessel system or sensor and compresses, encrypts, buffers and sends data safely to a cloud, giving the user access to the data stream.
