Real-Time Remote Monitoring System for Fishing Vessels

24/7 real-time monitoring solution for fuel loading and consumption on open-sea fishing vessels

My Rol: In collaboration with a tuna fishing industry expert, I designed, developed, and deployed this solution, incorporating a regression model for predictions and trend analysis. A programmer assisted with extracting the necessary data from the Escort TD-500 sensors

🎯 Overview

This project provides a 24/7 real-time monitoring solution for fuel loading and consumption on open-sea fishing vessels, accessible both on-board and remotely from shore. This system enhances operational efficiency, reduces fuel costs, and improves reporting accuracy for fishing fleets.
