Yacht Optimisation
A live digital twin of the vessel right on your bridge
Splunk Edge Hub acts as the nervous system for your yacht, pulling in telemetry from every subsystem, running analytics at the edge for real-time decision-making, and syncing insights to Splunk Cloud for deeper analysis.
Sensors & Systems: Modern yachts have dozens of onboard systems (engine telemetry, fuel flow, HVAC, navigation, safety systems, IoT devices). Edge Hub will collect this telemetry locally (even offline) and ensure all data is unified into a single source of truth. This allows the captain, crew, and engineers to always operate from consistent, trusted data and enable smarter, evidence-based operational decisions.
Predictive Maintenance
- Data at the Edge: Edge Hub can run anomaly detection models locally, without needing cloud connectivity.
- Examples:
- Detects unusual vibration patterns in engines → early warning for bearing wear.
- Identifies degrading battery cycles in hybrid propulsion systems.
Benefit: Prevent costly breakdowns during voyages and optimise maintenance scheduling so you’re not replacing too early or too late.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts
- Operational Health: Monitor engine performance, battery usage, generator loads, HVAC cycles, water desalination, etc.
- Safety Systems: Integrate bilge sensors, fire alarms, security access control.
Benefits: Real-time dashboards + instant anomaly detection (e.g., overheating engine, water ingress, power spikes).
Security Operations Centre
- 24/7 Cyber Threat Monitoring (Yachts are high-value targets for cybercriminals (ransomware, extortion, espionage) and attacks can be spotted and stopped before they disrupt operations or compromise guest privacy.
- SOC defends Wi-Fi networks, entertainment systems, and satellite comms against intrusion or data theft. Ensures guest data, calls, and browsing remain private and available to use at Sea.
- Powered by Cisco / Splunk – Splunk’s SIEM is the leading SIEM in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the past 10+ years
- Dark Web Monitoring – We can monitor for any chatter on the dark web about the yacht or their owners
- Compliance and Insurance: Insurers and maritime regulators increasingly require proof of cyber risk management. Smarttech247 will provide audit trails, log retention, and compliance reports (IMO 2021 cyber rules, flag-state requirements). International Maritime Cyber security regulations is a huge part of this requirement.
Regulatory & Compliance Reporting
- Maritime Safety Logs: Store and forward compliance data (engine hours, fuel consumption, emissions).
- Data Residency: Edge Hub holds data securely until bandwidth allows syncing to Splunk Cloud or Enterprise.
Benefit: Simplifies audits and ensures compliance with IMO, MARPOL, and local port authority regulations.
Passenger Experience & Comfort
- Smart IoT Integration: Edge Hub can collect data from Wi-Fi APs, AV systems, and smart cabin devices.
- Analytics: Identify usage patterns to optimise bandwidth allocation, power distribution, or entertainment systems.
Benefit: Improved guest comfort, reliability, and personalisation.
Connectivity Optimisation
- Yachts often switch between satellite, LTE, and marina Wi-Fi.
- Splunk Edge Hub can monitor connectivity quality and automate smart routing policies.
Benefit: Seamless, cost-efficient connectivity management.
