An internet of things (IoT) connectivity as a service (CaaS) solution, KVH Watch offers secure 24/7/365 machine-to-Cloud satellite connectivity.

It allows remote monitoring of on-board equipment and the ability to carry out on-demand remote expert interventions via video, voice or text through KVH’s global high-throughput satellite (HTS) network.

KVH Industries noted that satellite connectivity provides video interventions and remote support in real-time while vessels are at sea.

It also fulfils the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) requirement that ships should separate their information technology (IT) data flow from their operational technology (OT) data flow.

StratumFive COO Ross Martin said: “For successful digitalisation, a vessel’s onboard IoT system needs to be connected to Podium and its advanced contextualisation capabilities. The key to optimisation is getting data onshore to the experts to deliver efficiencies in tracking, routing, safety, security, fuel consumption and emissions.

“KVH Watch high-speed connectivity will enable us to provide actionable insights faster. In addition, KVH Watch’s Remote Expert Intervention gives us the ability to put a person virtually on the bridge for real-time interventions and troubleshooting.”

KVH Watch can be deployed by marine equipment manufacturers, IoT analytics experts, multi-card service providers and shipyards.

Its services can be obtained as a monthly subscription.

In March, Tile Marine, a marine services firm in India and the Middle East, also joined KVH Industries’ Watch Solution Partner programme.
