With its eyes firmly on the future, Damen is developing an integrated IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) platform. With this, Damen vessels become increasingly connected and Damen is able to gather and analyse data for their customers from the 10-15,000 sensors on board their vessels. Together with (feedback from) customers new valuable functionality is created, and the future will bring even smarter and ultimately autonomous ships.As a Product Development Owner / Manager I'm responsible for the development road-map of this platform and its applications. Together with both internal and external stakeholders we continuously determine what new value will be developed.
