<strong><em>Application: </em></strong>Commercial Fishing

<strong><em>Project: </em></strong>WESMAR, a leading provider of commercial fishing sensors and propulsion products, launched an internal development effort to modernize its products with emerging industrial automation technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

<strong><em>Challenge: </em></strong>WESMAR’s already stretched in-house engineering team lacked expertise in many of the technologies it envisioned (GPU processors, integrated AI, network sensor interfaces, ROS robotic platform communications, distributed user interfaces, remote IoT connectivity...) for its next generation of smart sonar products.

<strong><em>Solution: </em></strong>Rather than hire several new engineers and start a long development cycle from scratch, WESMAR turned to Numurus’ NEPI smart system software and its NEPI professional services team to reduce development costs and get a product to market faster.

<strong><em>Result: </em></strong>With Numurus’ NEPI software and engineering services support, WESMAR was able to develop and launch its new generation of smart sonar products in just 5 months, with hooks for easy integration and roll out new features for the years to come.

<strong><em>Future: </em></strong>Based on the success of this initial effort, WESMAR is now looking at incorporating NEPI into all of its products, creating a vessel wide network of smart sonar, cameras, and propulsions systems for the next generation of robotic fishing fleets in development.
