Cloud Connect | A Revolution in Maritime Data Access and Analytic Resources Successfully deploy and commercialize your maritime applications and digital services, get the vital data you need, and enable a truly connected ship.
ACQUIRE Data Directly from Onboard Sensors
AGGREGATE Data Onboard and in the Cloud
Take your IoT capabilities beyond the VDR. Using the ISO 19848 naming standard, Cloud Connect supports hundreds of data channels from onboard sensors, simplifies data mapping, accelerates digital service integration, and normalizes data throughout a fleet.
Every vessel relies on equipment and data services that generate thousands of data points every second. Cloud Connect manages that incoming tide of data at the edge for faster transmission, lower costs, and more accessible analysis.
Cloud Connect’s unique blueprint library empowers you to: Deploy standardized services rapidly Compare data between ships Build alarms and dashboards reusable across ships Share data among organizations Each blueprint is a comprehensive vertical package containing data source definitions, data mappings, and associated dashboards. Build blueprints on the fly or choose one from the Cloud Connect library – either way, integrating with onboard sensors has never been easier.
The Cloud Connect Edge Server aggregates and processes data from all connected onboard sensors plus data manually entered by the crew. The hybrid cloud architecture employs multiple advanced features, including: Cloud Connect Edge Server-hosted downsampler Lambda that controls the data volumes transmitted to Watch Cloud Secure store-and-forward functionality to bridge any connectivity outages with minimal loss of data 3-year data retention on the cloud, 1-year on the Cloud Connect Edge Server (customizable) Kubernetes containers and automatic workflows dedicated to each subscriber and running on both the Cloud Connect Edge Server and Watch Cloud
Detailed Control using KVH Watch Manager Designed for onshore use by support engineers, the Cloud Connect tools available within KVH Watch Manager provide visibility to everything your support team needs: Real-time vessel location and tracking history on a global map Watch terminal connectivity status API key management
ANALYZE Using Flexible, Dynamic Data Dashboards Interact with your data to identify insights. Cloud Connect’s no-code dashboard environment empowers you with cloud-based data reporting, versatile data reporting tools, and dynamic visualizations to support in-depth analysis, faster service and feature adoption, and rapid innovation. You can also update and modify templates with custom data feeds and derived channels or build entirely new reports and dashboards designed for your unique reporting needs. Plus, Cloud Connect includes a RESTful API for data access and support applications. Augment your vessel portal with access to high-frequency data or live video collaboration tools.

ACT in Real Time by Connecting Experts & Crew
Remote Expert Intervention Managed Wi-Fi
Cloud Connect brings data to you 24/7/365, but it’s also vital to respond quickly to the story your data tells. Bring the power of action to your IoT and digital service data using Remote Expert Intervention.
KVH installs dedicated Wi-Fi access points (APs), that enable live Interventions with experts on shore. Connectivity via the APs is managed via the Intervention scheduler and requires authorization by the ship’s captain, a level of access security that enables the APs to deliver connectivity in SOLAS-regulated spaces.
Go beyond simple video calls. With pre-qualified applications, compatibility with augmented reality wearables, and prioritized high-speed service for high-quality video, experts onshore can conduct real-time video sessions with the crew virtually anywhere the ship operates. Plus, you can rely on these cybersecurity features: Scheduled Interventions Required captain’s approval Multi-factor authentication Audit logs Secure Wi-Fi connectivity
Other features include: Weather-resistant design Gigabit, 802.3af-powered capacity Hard-wired with Power over Ethernet (PoE) Managed for you by KVH using a Cloud Controller designed for high-uptime performance For added security, new APs added to the network remain dormant until KVH activates them remotely
Transform your vessel support and reduce field service costs and port delays while enabling your experts to support real-time guidance to the crew for troubleshooting, inspections, surveys, and more. Contact us to schedule a demo | watch@kvh.com
