Maritime Data Integration

We collect and link vessel communications, voyage and environmental data, and build systems for maritime communication quality analysis and data-driven operations.

Managing data from vessel communication equipment and voyage and environmental systems on a common basis requires aligning data formats and integration structures. We design collection, cleansing, storage, analysis and external system integration to suit each project's purpose.

01

Collecting and using diverse maritime data

We design collection formats, data models and processing and integration structures so that data from different sources, such as vessel sensors, communications equipment, navigation systems and weather, can be used together. Depending on project goals, data analysis, visualization and integration with external services can also be configured.

Raw data is analyzed and reprocessed in a hub and turned into information for uses such as communication quality analysis, voyage history management and marine environment monitoring.

  • Collection and normalization of heterogeneous maritime data
  • Hub-based data analysis and processing
  • Data tailored to each service
02

Navigation stability based on communications data

Using communications status data accumulated during voyages, we provide the information needed to analyze the likelihood of degraded quality and communication loss and to review response policies. SyncTechno has researched extending land-based mobile communications to sea to narrow the information gap between ship and shore, and has reviewed maritime use of LTE and 5G and long-range communication requirements through 3GPP standardization.

Collected data can be processed and linked to voyages, locations and communications quality for use in autonomous vessels and maritime services.

  • Linking communications quality with location data
  • Communications environment analysis by route
  • Using data to respond to outages
03

From data to services

What matters most with maritime data is not collection itself but the operations and services it connects to. Depending on project objectives, we design the data model, analysis criteria, visualization and scope of integration with external systems together.

We can review configurations that use communications and navigation data in connection with maritime communications products such as DX-Ocean, or with existing onboard and shore-based systems.
