Target Audience

Ship engineers and deck officers working in fast-paced, high-stakes maritime environments

Pain point

Hard to access live equipment data; fixed screens limit mobility and awareness

Personal goals

Gain clear, immediate visual insight into vessel systems, reduce errors, and perform tasks more efficiently and safely
