Venue: Oil barges ORCA, JAGUAR- Country: France
- Year: 2018-2019
- Segment: transport, maritime
- Implementation partner: SAS Security Freight Action, France
The target of this project was to equip transport ships – oil barges – with the necessary equipment to ensure secure loading, offloading and transport of material for purposes of an insurance company. There is a cloud server located in Paris, France, which handles communication with barges over satellite phones and facilitates data acquisition and processing.
The ADiS control system does the following operations:
- Collects information from pressure sensors that evaluate the ship tilt in the transport and loading process.
- Evaluates signals from cargo doors to prevent unauthorized entries.
- Handles communication with the cloud server via a satellite phone and with a local control panel via local wi-fi.
- Provides an interface for the barge crew for data entry – the type of material, expected volume, routes & destinations, etc. Detailed data are available for transportation charges and taxes.
- Communicates the geo-fencing position of the barge utilising river-defining matrices, with a focus on river traffic improvement, while communicating with chamber locks supervisors.
As a pilot, two barges have been equipped, while there are two more simulators on-shore. Further installations are expected to be commissioned within upcoming years.
Utilised components: ADiS modular system
