IoT solution enabled by Gemalto helps optimize safety and efficiency in Latin America's busiest seaports
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, June 25, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, is enabling M2M connectivity for an innovative Internet-of-
Things (IoT) solution that monitors dynamic ocean conditions to optimize safety
and efficiency in Brazilian ports. Developed by HidroMares a leading
oceanography consulting firm, the real time weather-oceanographic information
system (SISMO®) monitors waves, currents, water depth, temperature and salinity
to improve navigation safety, streamline ship traffic and increase port
productivity.
The innovative SISMO® telemetry system leverages robust modems by Duodigit, a
provider of telemetry and biometrics technology products, to collect various
ocean data from sensors deployed on buoys, piers and the seabed in ports. The
modems use Gemalto Cinterion M2M Modules with embedded Java to process and send
data via wireless networks and the Internet to a backend server. Port workers
sign on securely to an intuitive interface and use the data to improve real time
decision-making and optimize port productivity. The solution is already deployed
in Porto of Açu in Rio de Janeiro state, whose location near Campos Basin is
strategic to the petrol industry.
"Sampling of oceanographic data is done in extremely hostile environments
requiring rugged durability of system components during installation and
maintenance. The transmission of real time data demands a robust system that is
reliable continuously in all conditions, 365 days a year," says Alexandre De
Caroli, Technical Director of HidroMares. "Duodigit and Gemalto collaborated to
provide a solution that meets these needs."
"One of our biggest challenges was designing a cost efficient solution that
could ensure reliable communication in the extreme environments of a seaport,"
said Luiz Henrique Correa Bernardes, Technical Director, Duodigit. "Gemalto's
Java embedded module provides the required durability along with the processing
power needed to analyze and store information locally in the device. The
solution allows efficient communication as needed, which is critical for cost
efficiency and preserving battery power in hard-to-service locations such as
seaports."
"Optimizing supply chain logistics and improving productivity in distribution
systems is key to the profitability of our increasingly global economy and it
also improves fuel economy for positive environmental impact," added Rodrigo
Serna, President for Latin America at Gemalto. "Solutions such as those provided
by HidroMares and Duodigit will be leading Brazil and Latin America forward and
helping to increase the efficiency of seaport logistics."
