Smart Dock Monitor Pilot Program Exceeds Expectations

Our first commercial pilot deployment of the Smart Dock Monitor system has delivered impressive results, validating the core value proposition and uncovering additional opportunities for expansion.

The Pilot

We partnered with a mid-sized marina on the East Coast to deploy sensors across 50 berths over a three-month period. The system monitored berth occupancy, structural health, and environmental conditions in real-time.

Results

• 40% improvement in berth utilization: Real-time occupancy data enabled more efficient slip assignments
• Early detection of maintenance issues: The system identified three potential failures before they became critical
• Operational efficiency gains: Staff reported 30% reduction in time spent on dock inspections
• Customer satisfaction increase: Boaters appreciated the improved management and proactive maintenance

Unexpected Benefits

The marina found additional value in the historical data for insurance negotiations and seasonal planning. The ability to demonstrate proactive maintenance and reduced risk factors led to favorable rate adjustments.

Next Steps

Based on pilot success, we're expanding the deployment to additional marinas and beginning discussions with marina management software providers for deeper integration. We're also exploring opportunities in commercial port facilities.
