Rigging for digital transformation with design

Having spent over 100 000 hours helping ocean industries creating new products, services, and business transformations, we have seen some pitfalls and made some valuable learnings on digital transformations.

Paal Holter, EGGS' CXO, shared his reflections on the opportunities and challenges we’re facing in the wake of maritime digitalization. This included practical tips and tools for riding the digitalization wave, as well as for using design approaches to better deal with change, complexity, and digital value creation.

ScanReach is enabling the onboard digital revolution

Wireless technology has been a critical enabler for the digital revolution on land. Until now, expensive cabling has been the only viable option onboard ships, where steel has prevented conventional wireless technology from working. With ScanReach's unique onboard wireless connectivity (OWC) technology, the wireless revolution has started at sea. Being able to connect people, assets, cargo, and operational environments wirelessly opens up a vast innovation space.

Jacob Grieg Eide, Chief Business Development Officer in ScanReach, introduced their newly launched onboard IoT solution and showed examples of its potential for maritime digitalization and value creation.
