Internet of things (IOT)

Overall, “Thanks to this new ‘Intelligent System’, Cruise ship was able to implement more effective selling strategies and to automate the data processing. This resulted in higher profitability and reduced operating expenses. Furthermore, the supplier of luxury cruises was able to improve the workflow on the ships, e.g. through reduction in the time for examining the food – from five hours to two hours. Moreover, according to Microsoft, the wireless use of data across different devices and places had contributed to an impressive user experience, such as shorter waiting time in restaurants, during a check-in, and other activities” - http://www.i-q-i.net/en/case-study-how-royal-caribbean-benefits-from-internet-of-things/

Digital services:



Augmented Reality:

 In general, Augmented reality is going to revolutionize the passenger experience and also make the ship much more safe and enjoyable.
Even short duration sightseeing vessels will benefit from this technology since much of the data handing has been scaled up in any number of land based applications. Marine compliant devices will need to be developed but since crew and passengers will use similar interface it is thought augmented reality will be adopted on value added advantages alone. The technology is already here, it only needs to be applied.
Robotics:
  • In the near future, instead of having local chef on board, we can use cooking robot – new invention. With unlimited memory in cooking recipes, non-resting time, fast and high accuracy. This will decrease a lot of cost for cruise ship companies as well as improve sightseeing vessels service.
  • Now with the new advance in technology, you will never feel lonely anymore, cause drinking robot now available
