Case study: a real-time platform for pilotage and mooring
Operational efficiency is indispensable in the port sector. For Brabo, Rombit creates one user-friendly platform, integrating existing and new data sources. By visualizing all data in a geographical overview, Rombit enhances the situational awareness for pilots, boatmen and dispatchers. It provides an automated decision support system by applying big data analytics and machine learning.
Key technologies
- Digitisation
- Dashboarding
- Track and trace
- Data diagnostics
- Machine learning


The challenge
Brabo’s ambition is to transform into a future-proof pilot organisation. This requires full digitisation of all paperwork; enhancing the situational awareness of all assets and workers; unlocking both historical and real-time data; integrating all siloed processes and systems in one digital platform; and implementing automated decision support.
“Maritime pilots from around the world are impressed by our revolutionary port visualisation platform.”
— Ronny Detienne, CEO, Brabo
