Event-driven
sensing at sea.

Shipboard cabling is expensive, heavy, and disruptive to install. Low-power event-driven sensing changes what is affordable to instrument, especially on a hull already in service.

DESIGN TARGET · NOT MEASURED PERFORMANCE

Figures on this page are engineering design targets and reference-architecture values, not measured results from operating hardware. They state what the design is being engineered to achieve. Verified performance data will replace them as systems are built and tested. Nothing here should be relied upon as a performance warranty.

Design basis
COST DRIVER

Cable, not sensor

On a retrofit, conduit and labour dominate the sensor cost. Removing the cable removes the expensive half of the scope.

CONSTRAINTS

Weight and space

Every kilogram and cable run is contested aboard. Sensing that adds neither gets installed; sensing that adds both gets deferred indefinitely.

RETROFIT

No drydock required

Nodes that mount and commission quickly let coverage grow during normal operation rather than waiting for a yard period.

ENVIRONMENT

Marine qualification

Salt, vibration, and EMI are the qualification challenge. Node hardening is a specification requirement, not an afterthought.

Open items

Marine environmental qualification and, where applicable, classification-society acceptance of wireless sensing for supervised functions are unresolved and would be worked per project.
