IoT for Shipping

Digitalization - Decarbonization - Diversification

Future proof maritime operations

while protecting our oceans!

LAROS innovative technology for the Maritime Industry was developed in 2010 by PRISMA ELECTRONICS S.A. engineers through the substantial contribution of naval architects and data science experts. It was the first ever wireless monitoring system used onboard merchant vessels, consisted of state-of-the-art OEM hardware and sophisticated software both developed by PRISMA ELECTRONICS.

Today LAROS is considered as the leading high frequency data collection system in the market, battle tested in more than 700 vessels while it is continuously proving its robustness and value to all those shipping companies that are entering the digital era in Shipping.

How Laros Works

Data Collection

LAROS hardware, including smart collectors, is installed on the vessel. These devices gather synchronized and reliable data from various sensors, instruments, or control systems onboard, all operating under a wireless network.

Data Processing

Upon reception, the structured datasets are processed through LAROS software. This involves organizing, filtering, and preparing the data for detailed analysis, leveraging advanced data mining and machine learning techniques.

Data Transmission

The collected data is wirelessly transmitted in real-time, ensuring that up-to-date information from across the vessel is accessible centrally, without the need for manual intervention.

Data Analysis

Analysis and Optimization

The software then analyzes the processed data to optimize and forecast key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to maritime operations, such as engine performance, fuel consumption, and route efficiency.

Insight Generation

From this analysis, actionable insights are generated, enabling ship operators and maritime businesses to make informed decisions. This intelligence is crucial for improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing safety.

Reporting and Visualization

Finally, the insights and optimized KPIs are presented through a user-friendly dashboard. This allows for easy visualization and monitoring of the ship’s performance, accessible via PC, tablet, or mobile phone, ensuring fleet managers have their ships at their fingertips.
