METIS SHIP CONNECT
Data Acquisition as a Service
METIS is the only company offering Data Acquisition as a service. We do not just sell yet another piece of onboard hardware. With METIS Ship Connect we provide an integrated solution that ensures trouble-free data acquisition — keeping everything running smoothly is an integral part of your service contract with us. METIS Ship Connect forms the solid, reliable data acquisition layer on which we base all further processing and analysis.
Wireless Intelligent Collectors
Robust & Intelligent IoT devices designed specifically for the maritime industry
The cornerstone of METIS Ship Connect is our custom designed and manufactured Wireless Integrated Collector (WIC). WIC devices connect directly to the machinery, instruments and/or sensors they monitor. WICs have wired and wireless networking options for minimizing dependence on cabling thus simplifying installation. When in relative proximity to each other, WICs support self-organizing, ad hoc wireless sub-networks that are interconnected through the vessel LAN backbone. WIC devices are designed and manufactured under METIS specifications and supervision. The final topology chosen depends on vessel equipment arrangement and project requirements.
Onboard equipment that WICs are most commonly connected to and key monitored quantities include:
WIC C17-1
- GPS
- ECHOSOUNDER
- GYROCOMPASS
- ANEMOMETER
- SPEEDLOG
- AUTOPILOT
- TORQUE METER
- ME FO FLOW METER
- DG FO FLOW METER
- AUX BOILER FLOW METER
- AMS
- ME RPM
- ME T/C RPM
- DGs OUTPUT POWER
- TANK LEVEL MONITORING
- AIR TEMPERATURE
- AIR HUMID.
- ATM. PRESSURE
- BWT SYSTEM
- SCRUBBERS
We are proud to have the most thorough compatibility list with sensors and measurement equipment
Certified by Lloyd's Register
At METIS Cybertech we are proud that the entire range of WIC devices enabling our data acquisition service offering has received the prestigious Lloyd’s Register Type Approval Certificate for marine, offshore and industrial applications. Our customers can be confident that they are provided with a reliable platform conforming to recognized industry quality standards, International Conventions and Lloyd’s Register strictest testing procedures.

METIS Ship Connect
Main Functions
Collect
The METIS fully automated Data Acquisition system collects data from sensors, machinery and measurement equipment onboard vessels, while also supporting manual input from the crew.
Clean
Collected data passes the first level of analysis that verifies correct operation of the measurement equipment, while ensuring that datasets are within expected ranges for a particular vessel, at the specific conditions.
Enrich
METIS enriches collected information with data from 3rd party sources such as weather forecasts (typically from 3 major providers), AIS and also customer-specific internal systems (e.g. ERP, PMS, Noon Reports).
Synchronize
Data collected from vessels and 3rd party sources is synchronized, providing a coherent data set on which METIS bases all further analysis, ultimately supporting a shipping company in its
decision-making process.
Store
Measurement data is transferred to METIS Space, typically through a vessel's broadband satellite connection. There it is safely stored in preparation for analysis and extraction of valuable, actionable information.
