How far our industry is into this journey of Big Data adoption? A good way to visualize it is via the # Gartner Hype Cycle. It gives a graphic view of how a technology evolves over time. Big Data has been tested as an agile and scalable tool for gathering and aggregating data that come in a variety of formats from various sources.
GARTNER HYPE CYCLE BIG DATA HOW TO
Performance benchmarking: As more organizations adopt performance evaluation schemes in guiding design and operation, the issues involved with how to quickly gather data from a large pool of vessels is identified as a challenge. The traditional means of ad-hoc manual operation simply cannot handle effectively the volume of data. Here are some of the Big Data uses that have shown tangible promises.ĪIS data: Similar to GPS data onshore, # AIS (or Automatic Information System) data has become free and available to the general public for vessel tracking. Some companies have gone one step further - generating operational profiles from many vessel’s AIS data. The leap forward was made possible with Big Data. The analysis would reveal how a vessel will be most likely operated. These insights are a key input to optimization of ship operations and designs. Big Data has been a buzz word in the maritime industry for some time. As early as 2014, industrial leaders identified the opportunity that # Big Data could bring to this centuries-old industry. Since then, Big Data as a group of modern, advanced technologies has found more and more applications. Many have come to realize that Big Data will lead to transformation of the maritime industry.
