SAP is helping the AkzoNobel sailing team in the 2017/2018 Volvo Ocean Race to improve crew performance. As part of the joint innovation project, SAP is equipping five crew members with biometric sensors.
The aim is to record and analyze information on performance and the sailors' degree of exhaustion during the race. The skipper can display the evaluations during the race via a software application and use them to optimize performance.
This way, he can better ensure that the sailors are in top physical and mental shape. SAP is using edge computing for the Internet of Things (IoT) in this project, based on SAP Leonardo IoT Edge technology.
IoT edge computing enables sensor data to be processed, stored, and analyzed even without an Internet or other data connection. As soon as the boats call at one of the twelve ports in the regatta, SAP Leonardo IoT Foundation runs analytics on the SAP Cloud Platform based on forecasts and machine learning.
