What is Digital Yacht Crew™
- Digital Yacht Crew™ created by Marinminds is the first real remote support service for the yachting industry. 
- It allows Marinminds expert technicians remotely monitor ship systems, detect technical issues and provide instant assistance anywhere in the world. To solve problems within minutes and hours as compared to days. 
- Leveraging the ‘connected hub’ installed on board, Marinminds technicians receive real-time data from the yacht, with the aid of smart AI software we are able to detect anomalies (potential issues) in an early stage and prevent them from becoming a problem. Thereby keeping your yacht healthy and always ready for departure. 
Why is Digital Yacht Crew™ Important?
- This is a massive paradigm shift in technology and service support for the whole yachting industry. 
- Luxury yachts have become increasingly advanced over the past decade and are powered by millions lines of code. 
- Typical of luxury yachts is that they are one-off or produced in small numbers, no extensive testing is done as in the automotive industry, therefore time will reveal unforeseen issues. 
- Today, due to COVID-19, service tasks on yachts must continue at times that social distancing and travel restrictions make it hard to get service engineers on board. 
- Digital Yacht Crew™ assists yacht builders and local service suppliers with remote diagnostics and at the same time eliminating travel and onsite visits. 
What are the Benefits of Marinminds Digital Yacht Crew™?
- Worldwide Service: Digital Yacht Crew continuously monitors all connected systems on board, performs remote in-depth diagnostics and solves the problem swiftly. 
- Aftersales Cost Reduction: Minimize the deployment of service technicians and/or service suppliers and save costs on travel and accommodation costs. 
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Yacht owners experience faster turnaround times for maintenance issues which leads to increased satisfaction. 
How does Digital Yacht Crew™ work?
- The Marinminds ‘Connect Hub’ is installed on board, a datalogger connected to the cloud 
- Expert technicians continuously monitor the data remotely, aided by AI algorithms. If an issue occurs, Marinminds analysis the data, diagnose the cause and coordinate the solution. 
- The owner, yacht builder and service supplier are informed on the status of the yacht trough thesmartphone app. In case of questions a Personal Yacht Manager can be contacted directly. 
- That is how we keep yachts healthy and always ready for departure.
