Transform towards a data-driven organization

Ampelmann leads the market for safe and efficient walk-to-work offshore access through their advanced wave-compensating platforms. In an offshore environment, where weather conditions are more extreme, internet connectivity is often limited and unreliable, while still critical for sustaining Ampelmann’s business model.

Together with Ampelmann's stakeholders, we identified the usage scenarios and technical limitations. Rather than investing in the development of a scalable, secure and solid solution, we focused on creating a proof-of-concept that helped us validate our assumptions on how to solve this problem. We set-up a playground that mimics an offshore situation, which allowed us to rapidly and accurately test our approach.

The cloud-based platform enables Ampelmann to reliably collect and aggregate business critical data in the face of low bandwidth and unstable satellite connections. We designed a user-interface to meet the operator’s needs that would make it possible for them to highlight any issue easily and rapidly and communicate them effectively with the headquarters.
