Reliable sensor data from vessels with intermittent connectivity
Sensor data on board had to reach shore-side systems even when the vessel's link was unavailable for long periods.

Challenge
- 01
Many sensor types with different interfaces and sampling needs.
- 02
Intermittent, expensive connectivity at sea.
- 03
Equipment expected to stay in service for many years.
Architecture and solution
- 01
A modular acquisition layer with one driver per sensor type.
- 02
Local buffering with integrity checks and prioritised transmission.
- 03
Remote update path planned for the equipment's service life.
Stack
Delivery and testing
- 01
Iterative releases tested on hardware in the lab before installation.
- 02
Simulated link outages to verify buffering and recovery.
Result
Continuous data collection independent of link availability.
A codebase prepared for new sensor types.
