Cross-Industry Maritime Team Design & Build Fast Prototype 75 Ft Boat Equipped with IoT and Rugged IT Technology

Dell Community Leave a comment

In the past, I’ve talked about how technology has been successfully deployed on big ships like ocean cruisers and defense vessels but what about fast leisure craft, like powerboats, speedboats and ribs?

I don’t know about you, but I felt that these sailors had literally missed the boat (pardon the pun) when it came to the latest and greatest technology, particularly around safety. And yet, according to the European Boating Industry, 36 million Europeans are boaters. Over six million boats are kept in European waters while 4,500 marinas provide 1.75 million berths both inland and in coastal areas.

Experts together for safety

I spoke to other colleagues in the industry. Together, we decided we were going to address this gap. Our mission was to design a fast boat, equipped to operate in extreme environments with rugged technology to track performance and importantly, deliver new levels of safety.

Together, we assembled a group of like-minded marine visionaries, namely: Safehaven Marine, boat designers and builders; Navarino, one of the world’s largest distributors of integrated satellite communications solutions, Iridium, a leading mobile satellite communications company, 8West, a software development and consultancy company with a focus on innovative marine safety solutions, and of course, yours truly from Dell Technologies OEM | Embedded & Edge Solutions Maritime.

First of its kind

This wasn’t a talk forum or an excuse for PowerPoint slides. We didn’t sit around, drink coffee and shoot the breeze! No, over the last three years, we’ve rolled up our sleeves and worked together to design and build a prototype boat in Cork, Ireland, like no other. And where better than Cork – home to one of the largest natural harbours in the world and the oldest yacht club?

This experience has been what I would call a labour of love, a collaboration where we collectively worked as a single crew, using a combination of tried and trusted craftsmanship honed over the centuries allied with the latest technology.

Wave-piercing design

Built by Safehaven Marine, the boat design in itself is revolutionary, crossing a wave-piercing monohull with a catamaran hull with four Caterpillar C8.7 650hp engines providing top speeds in excess of 50 knots.

Ruggedised technology

Picture a 75 foot boat, equipped with customised and rugged military-grade compute and network infrastructure, including Dell Latitude 7424 laptops, PowerEdge XR2 rugged servers, Dell 3002 IoT Edge Gateways and switches. All our rugged technology packs a punch and is ideal for tough conditions and tight spaces.

Ship to shore

From a communications perspective, the boat is fitted with Dual Cobham Sailor 4300 Iridium Certus L-band satcom antennas, a Navarino Infinity Cube dual node, high availability , high performance/active cluster plus IoT G-force sensors, which connect real-time to Azure via a dual-site connection.

Information is power

Using Dell Edge Gateways, these sensors collect and analyse data, gathering a huge range of inputs, for example, the weather, temperature and humidity, engine data, speed, geographical position plus sea motions like heave, pitch, roll and acceleration. A real-time web portal allows the crew to record and analyse vessel performance in real-time before live-streaming the data onshore.

Search and rescue functionality

That’s not all! In addition to performance data, Safe Trx Ranger software from 8West can automatically track the boat’s location and alert emergency contacts ashore, should the craft fail to return on time.

In this scenario, the user’s location is automatically sent to the SafeTrx Monitoring Console, meaning that the Coast Guard can instantly view the position of the emergency call, accessing vessel name, user name, gender, phone number, vessel name, craft type, radio equipment, last reported position, people on board, activity and trip ID. The application also displays the location, speed and heading on the emergency call screen.

Cost-effective, easy and reliable

Importantly, the system provides boat users who don’t have or use Automatic Identification System (AIS) on board with a cost-effective, automated and reliable way to keep the Search and Rescue authorities informed of their voyage plans and location. In fact, SafeTrx is the first data source that focuses on leisure craft users without AIS. In this way, it significantly contributes to the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) IMdatE maritime situational awareness picture.

What a beauty!

I believe that as a team, we have achieved our goal. Our prototype boat is capable of delivering fast performance in extreme environments and comes complete with rugged, reliable IT infrastructure, promising new levels of safety for leisure craft.

Our team is proud to participate in this partnership and contribute to better safety standards at sea. I believe that this is a great example of how IT technology can be a force for good, driving human progress and making a real difference to society.

IBM and Coop to Use Blockchain Technology for Monitoring Food Supply Chain

PCIS Support Team Leave a comment

Coop and IBM began their partnership one year ago and announced the result of their alliance today with the introduction of “Call of Ideas.” Call of Ideas has been dedicated to the blockchain application technology, food chain, and specifically to the production of Made in Italy brand eggs.

Blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), will be used for tracking organic eggs and several other Agrifood products in Italy. The leading companies will strive to make use of disruptive technologies to boost the safety of food and enhance people’s standard of living. The system is linked to Hyperledger Fabric and permits complete transparency and visibility of scores of players in the supply chain and now includes a whopping 2 million hens.

The developed solution relies on Hyperledger Fabric, which is a framework of the Linux Foundation. It allows total transparency and visibility of various players having involvement in the production chain of Coop brand eggs with approximately 2 million hens. They get massive 200 million eggs every year.

The consumer will get the option of scanning the QR code displayed on the package and enter the particular code of the lot. They can find out the history of the product and return from point to sale to the breeding. They will be able to find out not only the territory from which eggs come but also the incubator as well from which the hen was born.

Consumers will also be able to confirm that the eggs are produced by conforming to animal welfare standards, without using antibiotics, and without caging. These details will be certified by third-party companies and highlights compliance with the laws and other requirements set by Coop Italia.

Using blockchain in the supply of egg network is the latest step in the process of transparency that will differentiate Italian food products like fruits, carrots, milk, palm oils, and also highlights the correct practices related to eggs.

Coop has emerged as the popular system of Italian consumers’ cooperatives that runs the largest supermarket chain in Italy.

Polaris Transportation digitises with RPA and hyperledger tech

PCIS Support Team Leave a comment

Cloud computing, distributed ledger technology, machine learning, the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are among the technologies the Polaris Transportation Group is looking to deploy to become a tech leader in the transportation sector.

In May this year, the company’s in-house incubator set up its newest company, NorthStar Digital Solutions, through which Polaris has deployed robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning, IoT and AI to consolidate and automate antiquated systems technology.

Discussing how the company began its digital transformation, Polaris CTO Dave Brajkovich says: “We had gaps in our technology. The CEO reorganised the business. We needed to get digitised and catch up with technology.”

When Brajkovich joined the firm 18 months ago, there were many areas of the business that relied heavily on manual processes, he says. “I immediately realised there was loads of manual administration work being done. They were very mundane tasks. Lots of people thought they were doing the right thing, but there were also lots of silos across the business and a lot of inefficiencies, such as one area of the business had more work than another part.”

“We won’t be replaced by machines any time soon”

Dave Brajkovich, Polaris Transportation

Automation is often associated with reducing the work that people have to do, potentially leading to job cuts. But for Brajkovich, bots enable people to work more creatively. “We won’t be replaced by machines any time soon,” he says. “We will integrate and automate where we can and let people work on the client relationship, answer phones and value add. We are trying to utilise our people and boost human capital. People work hard and bring value to the business.”

Brajkovich’s goal is to provide a platform that should enable Polaris to run straight-through processing, avoiding the incumbent inefficiencies in manually handling freight paperwork.

The company operates cross-border freight services across the US and Canada and selected Work Fusion to automate customs handling, a heavily paper-based manual task. “We focused on customs document processing because we deal with a lot of customs paperwork, which takes a lot of effort and is a monumental task,” says Brajkovich. “Eight to 10 people touch these documents every day.”

Given the nature of the business, Polaris deals with 1,000 to 1,500 customs documents a day, says Brajkovich, but he adds: “Our non-intelligent OCR [optical character recognition] system didn’t do the job. We couldn’t get to a point where we could handle customs with a straight-through process system.”

  • As companies increasingly turn to robotic process automation to accelerate digital transformation, Computer Weekly takes a look at how the market is evolving.
  • Intelligent process automation may eventually supplant traditional robotic process automation as AI propels the technology away from automating rote tasks.

According to Brajkovich, Polaris selected Work Fusion because it wanted a technology platform that could automate with process and become part of the company’s DNA. The platform also needed to offer application programming interface (API) connectivity and integration with the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

The platform uses machine learning to understand any extra conditions in the customs documents that may require extra attention. Brajkovich says: “We manage by exception and use machine learning to teach the bot what it needs to look out for.”

An example of where an exception may be raised is when a document suggests that the product being shipped via Polaris may require an extra compliance check, such as if contains the acronym FDA – the US Food and Drugs Administration.

“The system learns and adjusts to change with minimal input and is able to scale,” says Brajkovich.

The road ahead

With North Star Solutions, the company has embarked on multiple routes to deliver digitisation and make IT another aspect of the business model, says Brajkovich. As such, the company has a blockchain hyperledger programme to provide integration with the outside world.

“We are working with our delivery partners, hooking up the ability to pass through orders from system to system, using the hyperledger as a base,” he says. “We want to be able to take data from one system and push that data to the client’s system. What happens is that the hyperledger becomes a common document with auditability and traceability.”

Brajkovich believes that combining the hyperledger platform with RPA can make a huge step forward in straight-through processing of cross-border shipments, which normally require paperwork for customs checks. “When we work with a customs broker, we take the customs paperwork from the client, process it to make sure everything is in order, and pass it on to the customs broker,” he says.

The link with the external world, outside Polaris, is via paperwork, he adds. “The paperwork from the client goes into our data stores. But we push paper back to the customs broker, which then processes it in its own system.”

The company is working on a project to eliminate this manual process, says Brajkovich. “It will enable us to share an API with the customs broker. No one will have to verify the data, which means we should be able to clear freight more quickly.”

Policy for Email with Attachment and Empty Message Body

Symantec Community Leave a comment
I need a solution

Hi folks,

I need you assistance and ideas:

We want to add a policy that is able to detect Email that have at least 1 attachment but at the same time don’t have any content in Message Body.

The part where attachment is detected is trivial and for the empty Message Body I’ve tried some regular expressions (i.e. “^$” or “^.{0}$”) but none of the regular expressions did work.

Is there any mistake in my regular expression or is there anything I didn’t have in mind?

Thanks for your help

Fabian

Refine the ITA Add Remove Programs Search Report?

Symantec Community Leave a comment
I need a solution

There’s an IT Analytics report for Add/Remove Programs which is nice because it also lists computer names.  However, it appears the Names don’t match what someone would normally see in their Programs & Features as well as including what looks like hidden applications.  Is there any way to generate a report where the product names are exactly as shown in a workstation’s Add/Remove Programs applet without all of the hidden stuff along with the associated computer names?
