Realtime Condition Monitoring

 

The B⋮CONNECT gateway sends your ship data continuously to our cloud service. You will be able to monitor your ship values on any mobile device or personal computer around the world. The application runs on any operating system without any installation of software.

It comes as a full solution including a smooth graphical data presentation. Our presentation library contains a wide range of gauges, indicators, text elements, shapes, icons and images. You will be able to arrange own page layouts in graphical manner. The layouting concept is optimized for responsive design.

 

 

Remote Control – from all over the world

Besides of monitoring of ship parameters, B⋮CONNECT can also be used to send control commands to the ship. For example, various devices could be activated remotely and lights switched on. A number of graphic elements, such as wheel controls, buttons or slide switches are available for implementation.

Cloud Data Storage and Analysis

 

The B⋮CONNECT cloud service allows you to record selected data from your ship. Tank levels, engine data, temperatures, positions and much more data can be stored in a cloud for a period of minimum three years. It supports a targeted condition monitoring by selecting data points of interest.

Data packages can be saved at regular intervals or only when changes occur.

Our user-friendly HMI allows a graphical presentation of values in a timeline and gives an easy comparison. Manual as well as automatic reports can be created and downloaded as a PDF or Excel file as a basis for a preventive maintenance. 

User Alerts

 

For each value, user alerts can be configured individually. Automated emails or push notifications can be sent to smartphones and tablets. In addition, personalized voice mails and SMS notifications can be configured by alert activation.

 

 

Online Map View

 

Positions of all your vessels are presented on a graphical map. This gives you a quick overview of your ship fleet.

Easy Installation on Board

The B⋮CONNECT gateway connects BÖNING ship automation system with the cloud. The gateway uses a fast LTE mobile connection (SIM card to be provided by the customer). Selected parameters of the connected system are continuously transmitted to the cloud via a secure VPN connection. The connection is established via a network interface with MODBUS-TCP protocol. Other connection protocols (MODBUS-RTU, SAE-J1939, NMEA2000, ...) could be used alternatively if the connected system does not support Ethernet connection. Due to the flexible connection, the B⋮CONNECT solution is easy to implement and an ideal choice for refit applications.

The B⋮CONNECT gateway offers a fast data connection with 3G & 4G LTE. The standard package comes with a simple rod antenna for installation inside the vessel. An outdoor antenna is optionally available. Furthermore, a high-performance version with dual SIM, multi-antenna system and extended frequency band is offered to guarantee an even better connection.

In case of a connection failure, both gateway variants buffer the data internally (up to 70 MB) to guarantee a data history without loss.
