When the Royal Navy decided to reduce the fuel consumption of its fleet of vessels, it enlisted the expertise of BAE Systems, a British multinational defense, security, and aerospace company. With AVEVA PI System as the foundation, BAE Systems developed a cutting-edge solution to monitor and analyze multiple sources of information—including weather data, data on equipment maintenance, hull condition, route selection, and more—to help the Royal Navy turn an ocean of data into actionable insight.
“We can produce a set of outputs that allows operators onboard and ashore to understand the business case of their decisions.”
