Addressing the Maritime Industry Challenge
Digital transformation has helped increase value through innovation, invention, and improved customer experience and boosted efficiency. However, until now, digital transformation solutions required complex equipment upgrades, making automated monitoring of existing machinery and equipment prohibitively expensive to owners, operators and managers.
An affordable solution for maritime digitalisation
To address this challenge, EYEGAUGE has developed a Unified Fleet Data Platform, a universal solution designed for shipowners, ship operators, and ship managers. This platform enables the automated monitoring of vessel performance, fuel consumption, emissions, and machinery status in real-time.
Comprising three layers-data collection, data unification, and visualization and analytics, the platform ensures accurate measurement and seamless sharing of equipment and machinery data. This, in turn, facilitates the achievement of decarbonization goals and enhances relationships among industry stakeholders, such as shipowners and charterers. A distinctive advantage of EYEGAUGE’s solution lies in its universal compatibility with any type of machinery and equipment. Notably non-invasive, the system can be effortlessly installed by the ship’s crew, providing a user-friendly and accessible solution for the maritime industry.
A few words from the investors.
