Awake.AI, a digital company, is the new addition into the ONE SEA alliance that unites global experts on autonomous ship technology, and hopes that its new members would bring different perspectives and insights to the One Sea ecosystem.
In early summer, the alliance includes Inmarsat, MIT (Monohakobi Technology Institute) and Rina, ABB, Cargotec, Ericsson, Kongsberg Maritime, Tieto and Wärtsilä as well as a range of other maritime stakeholders.
Specifically, Awake.AI will create a new platform that will be based on transparent data, aiming to extinguish the existing barriers between ships, ports and other actors in the logistics chain.
This platform will play a crucial role in how ports will be handling autonomous ships, from their pre-arrival, through cargo operations and to onward departure, according to the Finnish start-up.
Awake.AI CEO, Karno Tenovuo commented
Today’s data silos result from legacy systems developed when interoperability wasn’t a pressing need. Our task is to develop the digital handshakes (APIs) between different supply-chain actors, freeing data to enable smarter ships and ensure their acceptance by smart ports.
In addition, Jukka Merenluoto, Ecosystem Lead, ONE SEA welcomed the new addition highlighting the alliance’s goals, amongst which is increasing vessel autonomy by 2025.
Following on experience from digital innovators such as Nokia, Microsoft, Rolls-Royce Marine, Aker and academia, Awake.AI leverages collective expertise in intelligent and autonomous ship systems, AI data pipelines, system architecture, cloud and network design and cyber security.
