Meet METIS Cyberspace Technology
Winds are brewing as a storm is forming in the North Atlantic Ocean. This one storm, this single event in remote ocean waters, will impact global trade and supply chains for weeks. Yet, the glow off of the waters in the Mediterranean Sea today don’t tell this story. Here, the storm has not shown itself yet, so for now, maritime traffic moves easily under sunny skies. Tomorrow though, everything will change as the storm sets in delivering soaring currents and blistering winds, both of which impact vessel performance from fuel economy to travel speed to route selection. Maritime challenges are complex and require real-time performance analysis with proactive decision support.
One idea = A new way of doing things
METIS Cyberspace Technology was born from this one simple idea: Provide maritime customers with an intelligent, quality product, designed specifically for vessel performance optimization. Easier said than done when you consider the number of factors that impact vessel performance. But METIS teams would not be deterred. They leveraged 4th industrial revolution drivers like IoT, cloud-based technology, and AI. Then they surveyed customers, partnered with industry powerhouses, and built solutions to move the maritime sector forward using reliable data for enhanced decision making. That’s true innovation and that’s why we’ve chosen METIS Cyberspace Technology SA for this month’s Innovative Customer Spotlight.
Helping Maritime run more efficiently – and saving the planet
METIS Cyberspace Technology specializes in data acquisition, real-time performance monitoring, and intelligent analytics for the Maritime Industry. They enable shipping companies to assess and understand the performance of their vessels in the past, monitor their present operations in real time, and accurately predict their behavior in the future. METIS solutions help maritime operators minimize costs, optimize operational performance, fine-tune maintenance processes, and ensure regulatory compliance. Streamlined operational performance and emissions compliance result in lower carbon emissions, greater fuel economy, and more precise vessel selection – all of which promote healthier ocean ecosystems, improved air quality, and safer voyages.
Driving tangible gains through predictive powers
METIS sees their data-driven analytics translated into tangible customer gains each quarter. Using the predictive powers of their solutions, METIS customers reduce fuel consumption up to 27.5% on a yearly basis. Other customers achieve shorter voyage durations resulting in a savings of 1.5 days on average while consuming less fuel.
The innovation of METIS solutions began on drawings on blank paper, without being a conversion of an existing mechanical or analog solution into a digital version. Because of this, METIS is able to address the needs of multiple departments, roles, and levels of management within a shipping company while offering the highest level of interoperability with a ship’s machinery equipment.
Innovation is embedded in their corporate values along with Passion, Ethos, and Consistency. METIS is proud of the positive feedback received from customers.
“When we hear from customers that our system helps them to accomplish their everyday tasks, make critical decisions, solve problems and achieve their corporate goals, that keeps us focused on what we can accomplish tomorrow.”
