Problem
Boat operators lack reliable, real-time monitoring of vessel systems and security, especially when operating in remote areas or without constant crew presence. Existing solutions often depend on cloud services, creating latency, data‑ownership concerns, and vulnerability to connectivity loss.
Solution
BRNKL provides an onboard, offline‑first monitoring platform for both professional and leisure vessels. The system integrates directly with vessel sensors and NMEA 2000 networks, capturing system data, video feeds, and location information locally. Edge processing generates customizable alerts and stores recordings on the vessel, while optional secure cloud sync enables remote access without exposing raw data. Users view live status and historical playback through a unified mobile app, ensuring continuous situational awareness and operational analysis regardless of connectivity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial operators (e.g., offshore, coast guard, charter fleets) and private boat owners who require continuous vessel surveillance and system health monitoring.
Features
- Direct integration with NMEA 2000 and other marine sensors for comprehensive system telemetry
