Overview
It's not often you have a customer ask you to build a solution to race a 60ft Trimaran Yatch, using an app on a Smartphone, whilst sitting in a helicopter 100m (300 ft) above the water, and then give control of the app to someone with no nautical experience or knowledge to race against a professional.
It's also not too surprising that many people thought it couldn't be done, especially when they added "Also, there will be a crew on the yatch while you are doing this to generate the hydraulic pressure you need". However, with our IOT and machine control experience this didn't sound as tough to us as it might to others
This type of project does however take automation, IOT, machine learning, and computer controlled hydralics and combine it with aerospace-level redudancy and safety to create a solution that we were not only very proud to be a part of, but was a World First achievement as well.
We helped
with:
- Aerospace grade sensors and feeds into,
- Diverse / redundant sensor systems
- Diverse / redundant control systems
- Realtime network failover with 2 x 4G connections
- Realtime feeds of sensors on yatch to control system
- Build of 3 x AI+Machine Learning Control systems
- All APIs and feedback systems used from the App
Our customer,
Vodafone provided:
- A 60ft Trimaran yatch
- A helicopter and pilot
- A reliable 4G network
- 4G Devices trough their partnership with Samsung
- An internationally acclaimed opponent (Jimmy Spithill)
- A customer who had a great time racing him
