Wilhelmsen application of digital strategy at its full portfolio of LoRa technology; new maritime Things ( IoT ) network helps Wilhelmsen provide cost-effective, robust and proven material to its customers worldwide networking solutions
City of Camarillo, California, December 2019 - high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and a leading supplier of advanced algorithms Semtech Company (Nasdaq: SMTC), Wilhelmsen and The Things Industries (TTI) announced partnerships to take advantage of Semtech's LoRa® devices provide a cost-effective, robust and proven solutions to things maritime industry.
Wilhelmsen was established in 1861, it is a global maritime industry group, but also the shipping market leader. The company has partnered with Semtech's LoRa TTI and select the device as the basis for its new global maritime Things 2.4GHz networks, its global and diverse "land and sea" customer base to provide cost-effective, robust and after things proven solutions ecosystem. In the 2019-2024 forecast period of years, the global maritime industry is expected to have recorded a 16.82% compound annual growth rate. With this expected growth trend of the market, Wilhelmsen is their operations in the new deployment, based LoRa connection technology to improve efficiency and provide customers with a proven, interconnected physical networking solutions. Wilhelmsen provide services to approximately 2,200 ports in 70 countries and regions in the 20,000 vessels, and processing of products annually delivered more than 220,000 batches.
"For decades, we have been evaluating wireless solutions to improve the efficiency of land and sea. We selected technical solutions need to have long-range, key features low power consumption, robust and open ecosystem, so as to completely change our strategy. "Jon Helge Ulstein Wilhelmsen, senior project manager, said," this new system is expected to enable our customers to immediately benefit from this it is to move the ship and industrial automatic step 4.0. under the leadership of Wilhelmsen ship management sector this new platform will be used for things delivered, digital condition monitoring, asset tracking and logistics applications and many other fields. this group will be closely coordinated with my existing applications store project ShipOS, the project led by RaaLabs. "
In the conventional method embodiment, the sensor data on the ship are achieved through a wired transmission system or managed through periodic manual copy read. The LoRa based wireless sensor can monitor a number of variables, including mechanical condition, fuel efficiency, environmental indicators and case goods, etc., and can use this data for preventive maintenance. As an established land-based tool manufacturing, preventive maintenance can reduce the risk of idle due ship repair or accident caused. In addition, the system can optimize the performance of the process, reduce manpower, waste and cost. Wilhelmsen TTI chose to develop its Internet of Things platform, which enable Wilhelmsen to take advantage of existing suppliers and service providers of global ecosystems, thereby providing a path to enter include certified sensors, hardware designers, system integrators and application developers market constituted.
Wienke Giezeman TTI (The Things Industries) Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are very pleased to be partners in this important project, and we look forward to working with the broader LoRaWAN® ecosystem, and help the development of Wilhelmsen shipping industry."
Semtech Vice President Marc Pegulu sensing products business, said: "Wilhelmsen has a wealth of experience in the maritime industry, and focus on innovation, combined with Semtech through proven LoRa devices, provides a flexible ecosystem for its customers, thus providing strong reliable and cost-effective solutions for things to promote the maritime industry in transition. our partnership with Wilhelmsen show a LoRa flexible, mature and scalable functionality in a variety of industries and vertical areas. "
