Usecase Arkitech

Arkitech realises sustainability on large cruise and ferry ships. The regulations for these ships regarding to the energyuse are tightend in the last couple of years. One of the biggest culprits of the total energy consumption are the cooling systems. Thus, Arkitech has developed an algorithm that calculates an ideal setpoint for these cooling systems based on several measured variables. This set point ensures that the cooling systems run more efficiently, which is more environmental friendly.

Challenge

The Arkitech algorithm is already running successfully on two ferry ships. For the new collaboration with MSC Cruises, they were looking for a technical project leader who can keep an overview, dive into the code where needed and ideally help with product development.

Process

Datacation has taken on various tasks, such as advising on the data structure, as managing the VPN connection to the ship. Additionaly, what data is interesting to retreive from the ship regarding further development of the algoritm? The activities are performed from both Arkitech's office and our own.

Solution

The collaboration between Arkitech and Datacation is currently ongoing. Once the first projects have successfully started on board, and the desired data is received, the plan is to focus more on product development and the integration of AI within Arkitech.
