Metis Cyberspace Technology has launched the next generation of its automated data-acquisition system, Ship Connect, in a move which enhances data transfer and monitoring while also enabling the development of ship performance analytics based on standard protocols.

Through a robust, flexible and unified data-transmission framework, the upgraded system enables the processing and visualisation of real-time and historical data both on board and ashore. Metis claims the efficiency of the data-transmission process is such that readings are transferred from vessel equipment to the Metis cloud platform in a second or less, making them immediately available for analysis.
