Flicq Inc. an innovator in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions has announced that it has cooperated with Damen Shipyards in remote monitoring. 

The project has involved mapping smart sensor data from many sources to have a uniform view of a vessel’s health. Additionally, Flicq sensors have been deployed on Damen connected vessels.

In September 2018, Damen posed their sensor mapping challenge at the Vodafone Ziggo/TNW IoT Challenge. Flicq was the winner of the challenge and successfully delivered a sensor mapping solution for Damen. Solco Reijnder, Damen Project Manager Innovation says, “The software tool we developed with Flicq can automatically gather and categorize data from every sensor on board a vessel”.

In the second phase Flicq smart sensors were deployed on Damen vessels to fill in data gaps.
