Thinking fast and slow: why high-quality data demands the right foundations

Data continues to represent value in the pursuit of vessel energy efficiency, and as the value of actionable information increases, the focus is increasingly on using high-frequency sensors to drive decision-making.

As always in shipping, the truth is not quite so simple. The welter of information that high frequency sensors can provide creates an opportunity for applications that can work at this cadence. For the majority of the fleet, however, the emphasis is still on the ability to capture high-quality, low-frequency data and blend the two into a robust combination.

Low-frequency data is not just for simple analysis tasks. Used in conjunction with complex digital vessel models, it can provide high-quality insights that reflect the specifics of the ship being analysed.
