How it works

From sensor to your phone, no magic

An architecture designed for the sea: intermittent satellite links, expensive data and alarms that can't wait.

The data's journey

01

Sensors on critical equipment

We install sensors and connect the networks your boat already has: engines and generators (J1939), NMEA 2000 instrumentation, pumps, batteries, tanks and bilge through physical inputs.

02

Industrial gateway on board

A marine edge computer filters and buffers everything locally. If the link drops, nothing is lost. Critical alarms trigger right there — relay and siren.

03

NauticAPI cloud

Decoding, analytics and history: geofencing, pump duty cycles, battery and temperature trends, per-vessel alarm rules.

04

Dashboard, app and alerts

Real time on the web dashboard, critical push in the app, and an API to integrate with your systems.

Works with whatever internet the boat has

Marina Wi-Fi, 4G along the coast or Starlink offshore: the gateway uses the link that's available. By design, only the boat initiates the connection, encrypted end to end (MQTT over TLS) — which is why it works even behind CGNAT (carrier or satellite), where the cloud could never "find" the boat. And with no internet at all, the critical alarm still fires on board.

  • Marina Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE or Starlink — any outbound connection works
  • Onboard buffer — a network switch or a crossing without link loses no data
  • Outbound-only connections — nothing points at your boat

Alarms don't wait for the internet

A flooding bilge can't depend on a link. The gateway triggers relay and siren on board instantly; when the connection returns, the cloud completes the picture with push, history and analytics.

Agnostic inputs

The platform doesn't marry one hardware or one input type. CAN buses, marine serial, industrial protocols, physical I/O and aggregation layers — everything comes in.

The gateway is interchangeable industrial hardware. The contract between boat and cloud is the data — not the equipment brand.

Professional installation

A per-vessel design: equipment survey, right-sized kit, clean installation with galvanic isolation and a watertight enclosure, commissioning with an end-to-end test.

  • Engines and generators (J1939 / NMEA 2000)
  • Pumps and bilge (flow and level)
  • Batteries and shore power
  • Fuel and water tanks
  • Position, route and geofencing (GPS)
  • Temperatures and auxiliary equipment
