Remote Systems Maintenance & Monitoring
As Infonic’s Geo-Replicator software does not rely on the form, format or file type of the data, nor does it rely upon traditional database differencing techniques, the solution can be deployed to address:
• Anti virus file distribution (as opposed to CD’s!)
• System and Program file DLL’s
• Engine, Machinery and Service condition monitoring, (large unstructured data files typically unsuitable for e-mail or offline data exchange)
• Notice to Mariners
• Chart Corrections
• Cargo load and stability (vessel departure) information.
All of these enhance the performance of staff and systems both onshore and onboard, yet are, by virtue of file type data structure or sheer file size, traditionally difficult to maintain.
Customer success story
ICAS (Integrated Condition Assessment System) Sensorization program helps NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command )assure that all ships in the US Navy are running smoothly. Through the use of sensors on the ships, equipment experts on shore can monitor the condition of all ships and their components at sea.
Hundreds of megabytes of data are generated through this preventative maintenance program, which creates a huge challenge to efficiently send the sensors data off the ships to the shore, for equipment experts to analyze, via low bandwidth satellites.
By using Infonc Geo-Replicator, Naval Sea Systems Command was able to significantly compress the amount of sensor data that needed to be sent via satellite.
Instead of replicating the entire database to the equipment experts on shore, Geo-Replicator only replicates the updated bytes of information through the low-bandwidth, allowing for quicker access to information.
By saving time, reducing the need to have equipment experts on naval ships, and detecting irregularities with naval equipment before they become a problem reduces maintenance costs for the US Navy by 40% annually.
