How quickly can we see ROI from implementing On Watch?
You'll have immediate access to real-time vessel telemetry as soon as installation is complete, allowing you to monitor operations and diagnose issues straight away. After collecting a month of operational data, you'll unlock powerful trend analysis and pattern recognition that reveals optimisation opportunities.
What vessels and engines are compatible with On Watch?
On Watch supports all major marine engine manufacturers through J1939, NMEA2000, and CAN-BUS protocols. We've successfully integrated with Scania, MAN, Caterpillar, Cummins, Volvo, Yanmar, and many others.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt operations?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours per vessel and can be completed during routine maintenance windows. Installation does not require a disruption to your operation.
What happens to our data during connectivity outages?
The On Watch DataBox includes onboard storage for up to 30 days of operational data. During connectivity outages, data continues recording locally and automatically uploads to the cloud once connection is restored.
Can On Watch integrate with our existing maintenance system?
Yes, On Watch provides APIs and pre-built integrations with popular marine maintenance platforms including Helm Connect. Our Admiral package includes full API access for custom integrations with your existing business systems.
How do we transition from our current monitoring system?
We offer migration support including parallel running periods, historical data import where possible, and hands-on training for your team.
Can we trial On Watch before committing to the full fleet?
Yes, we offer pilot programs that allow you to test On Watch on 1-3 vessels before rolling out fleet-wide. This lets you evaluate the platform with your team, and build confidence in the ROI. Most pilots run for 30-60 days and include full support from our team. Pilot programs are subject to fleet size*.
