ConnectPOB works by wirelessly connecting crew members on the ship to sensors that send information about their localization to a central unit. The information is presented on the dashboard on the ship's bridge for an instant personnel overview during training and emergencies. It can, in the case of an emergency, help save lives.

Based on their wireless IoT platform, ScanReach has developed the world’s first wireless connected safety solution - ScanReach ConnectPOB (Personnel On Board). ConnectPOB lets all personnel on board a ship be quickly located and accounted for during training or in an emergency. However, investing in a new safety solution on a vessel requires a great deal of trust from potential customers. An excellent product or service is not enough to succeed in the market. It’s essential that the product, interfaces, and 

 provides a professional, smooth, and trustworthy experience.

Brand Identity

Converting technology into customer value

To help ScanReach communicate its offering to customers, we have worked with business and brand strategies to commercialise the product, bringing it from pilot to commercially ready. Moreover, we have worked on digital design, UX, services, and 

, including everything from user manuals to video and marketing materials. In short, we together brought ConnectPOB from a pilot to a commercialised product.

Design for safety to build technology trust

The competition in the maritime industry is increasing, and shipowners are continuously searching for new ways of optimizing performance and reducing cost and, at the same time, complying with stricter regulations within sustainability and safety. Bringing the whole ship into this digital ecosystem enables new ways of facing the challenges.

ScanReach's transformative technology opens up nearly endless innovation opportunities for the maritime sector. EGGS has assisted ScanReach in being granted 18.5 million NOK by Innovation Norway for five innovation projects. The five pilot projects cover enhanced personnel protection for the offshore wind industry, retrofitting ships for real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, a retrofit solution for environmental monitoring of hazardous areas and rooms onboard vessels, wireless sensor solutions for automatic Man Over Board (MOB), and fall detection, and enhanced personnel protection for the oil and gas industry.

The digital interfaces are carefully designed with the users' goals and operational context in mind. This ensures quick and intuitive access to crucial information and immediate situation awareness - even in the most stressful situations.

To help operationalize the visual identity, ensuring effective, consistent communication with ScanReach brand quality, we created a Visual Toolbox and guidelines for practical use.

ScanReach’s trial program, involving ships with the technology up and running, provided valuable, real-life insights in the process. It helped us prioritise what functionality should go into the solution and how. We worked closely with ScanReach technology and market expertise, contributing with digital design (UX/UI), front-end development, and service design for the customer journey.
