Vessels Under Real-Time Watch
The Core Challenge & Constraints
Unplanned mid-voyage engine failures cost up to $2.5M per incident, with spotty satellite connectivity preventing predictive insights.
The InventIQ Engineering Solution
Deployed lightweight edge compute gateways aboard each vessel running compressed anomaly detection models, syncing with cloud data lakes via intelligent mesh buffering.
Key Technical Architectural Decisions
Offline-first SQLite edge buffers with prioritized satellite sync queues
On-device vibration FFT analysis for pre-failure bearing detection
Interactive 3D digital twin visualization built with Three.js and WebGL
Automated automated work-order generation dispatched to destination ports
“InventIQ created a resilient edge-to-cloud mesh that functions effortlessly even when ships are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean without satellite signal.”
