Edge data capture

“

With the Viam platform, we were able to quickly build a command-and-control tool that gives us a bird’s-eye view of our 500+ boats and helps us to better manage them. Within the next year, we now see a path to being on as many as 50,000 boats.

Marine

Boats are equipped with extensive electronics systems, including engines, navigation, and safety gear. Capturing data from these systems helps monitor fuel efficiency, detect engine issues, and track vessel locations, enabling fleet managers to make safer, smarter decisions at sea.

Various robot arms are triggered to streamline the production line of automated vehicles.

Smart manufacturing

In modern factories, robotics, assembly lines, and industrial equipment generate vast amounts of data, but it often remains siloed across systems. Integrating data from all devices enables manufacturers to streamline operations, predict failures, and optimize output, turning production lines into smarter, more efficient systems.
