Real-world OWC Setup example
This is a real-world current setup on one of our customers’ vessels. The system is currently collecting temperature and humidity data, POB data, and fuel consumption data.
Core Components
Mesh Node
The heart of our Onboard Wireless Connectivity (OWC) network. Our mesh node is designed inhouse and produced in Norway. Safe, efficient and secure. The mesh node uses low-frequency wireless signals to provide reliable wireless connection in even the most complex steel environments.
Gateway
Secure, reliable and cost effective, our gateway possess in-house developed firmware ensuring optimal system uptime and seamless OTA software updates.
The gateway is responsible for connecting the edge server to the vessel LAN network and uploading data to the ScanReach cloud.
Your sensor of choice
Combine our advanced mesh network with the sensors/equipment of your preference for optimal efficiency. Gather data seamlessly without the hassle of intricate cabling and unnecessary downtime.
Tailor your use cases to meet your specific requirements, providing instant insights into vessel or fleet data. Monitor cargo hold humidity, engine room carbon monoxide, equipment vibration, and more – the potential applications are virtually limitless. Leverage industry standard communication protocols and Onboard Wireless Connectivity.
User Interface
Designed to deliver an instant situation overview with the user’s goals in mind.
Responsive design suited for desktop, tablet, and mobile view. Provides a platform for reporting, sensor data control, vessel overview, and probably some other nice things?
Wearable Tag
Crafted in-house and manufactured in Norway, the ScanReach ConnectPOB wearable stands as a versatile smart tag with a myriad of applications.
Employ it for Personnel On Board (POB) control, offering crucial rescue data in emergencies, and streamlining mustering processes for simplicity and efficiency. Unlock doors effortlessly and enable automatic gangway counting with this non-intrusive wearable tag.
Serial Mesh Node
Access your equipment seamlessly via the OWC Serial Mesh Node. Utilizing established industry protocols like Modbus, NMEA, and Bluetooth, this node efficiently gathers data from sensors, flowmeters, pumps, and other industrial devices on board.
Despite its nearly identical appearance to our standard mesh nodes, the Serial Mesh Node boasts the same compact size and wireless functionality, ensuring seamless integration into your setup.
API
By leveraging the power of APIs, we can ensure that data is transmitted seamlessly and efficiently. This allows stakeholders to make informed decisions and take action in real-time.
Use the systems and software you already know and love, while improving their scope of use.
