INDUSTRIES · MARINE, VESSELS & PORTS

Marine, vessels and ports

Vessel telemetry and port-yard visibility on one low-power LoRaWAN network. End-nodes stream through gateways to the cloud for real-time awareness and automated alerts.

What we monitor

What we monitor on vessels

MON_01

Early fire and smoke detection

Smoke detectors in the wheelhouse, engine room and crew space.

MON_02

Flood and water ingress protection

Water leakage sensors in the forepeak, crew space bilge, tank space bilge, engine room bilge and steering gear compartment bilge.

MON_03

Overheating prevention

Extreme high-temperature sensors on motors, plus ambient temperature monitoring.

MON_04

Engine room environmental control

Ambient temperature and humidity monitoring.

MON_05

Operational status awareness

Dry contact inputs for pump running, door open or closed, generator on or off, and alarm relay triggered.

MON_06

GPS position and tracking

LoRaWAN GPS trackers with solar charging and a 3-axis accelerometer — live position, speed, course and geofencing for fleet tracking and route checks.

MON_07

Vibration and predictive maintenance

Wireless accelerometers on engines, gearboxes, pumps and propeller shafts pick up misalignment, bearing wear or imbalance — so maintenance can happen before a failure.

LoRaWAN port network

Port and yard operations on the same stack

WSmart unifies yard visibility, equipment telemetry and worker safety on a single low-power wireless network. End-nodes stream data through gateways to a cloud platform for real-time awareness and automated alerts.

PORT_01

Asset & cargo tracking

GPS trackers, geofencing and yard inventory — containers, vehicles and high-value cargo on one map.

PORT_02

Equipment & structural health

Tilt, runtime and remote telemetry on cranes, booms and yard plant — abnormal movement shows up before it becomes an incident.

PORT_03

Worker safety

LoRa smart watch with SOS, fall detection and GPS location tracking — so yard crews stay visible across the terminal.

PORT_04

Centralised platform

Dashboards, multi-channel alerts and reporting — one view for the yard office and the operations team.

SIM-card advantage

One SIM on the gateway — not on every device

End-devices talk LoRaWAN to the gateway. The gateway uses cellular or ethernet backhaul. No SIM card is required for each watch or sensor — which keeps operating cost low across a large yard.

Low power · long range · low operating cost — LoRaWAN end-nodes without a cellular plan each.

Easy to deploy — wireless installation with no data cabling across the yard.

Long battery life — up to about 4 years, depending on the device and reporting interval.

Expand the network

Related LoRaWAN sensors for the port

Add devices as the yard needs them — the same gateways and platform already cover vessels and the terminal.

SNS_01

Vehicle GPS tracker

Live location and geofence for yard vehicles and handlers.

SNS_02

3-axis tilt sensor

Abnormal tilt, boom angle and wind sway on cranes and structures.

SNS_03

Reefer temp + humidity

Cold-chain alerts for refrigerated containers and stores.

SNS_04

Gas / hazard detector

Leak and toxic gas alerts around tanks and hazmat areas.

SNS_05

Vibration + temperature

Predictive maintenance on motors, pumps and rotating plant.

Why this supports compliance

Timestamped data for audits and insurance

Timestamped historical data supports ISM Code obligations, class society requirements, flag state audits and insurance documentation.

Coverage

LoRaWAN suits remote and distributed monitoring. Sensors run on batteries for years; coverage reaches 1–5 km in dense areas, 5–15 km suburban and up to 45 km in open water or rural sites.

Connected ports stay safer and easier to run — the same wireless stack that covers the vessel can cover the yard.
