Inventory Smart System for Yachts
ISS Yachts
ISS Yachts (Inventory Smart System for Yachts) is an intelligent stocktaking system that is based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
It allows to check the presence of tagged equipment and assets swiftly, in multiple locations spread across the globe.
Our solution is the response to the onerous process of checking charter boat equipment at drop-off. Nowadays customers expect swift and simple boat return procedures. Thanks to our equipment you can speed-up the process to just a few minutes and as a result of that, improve your customer’s overall satisfaction.
The introduction of ISS Yachts will reduce staff cost through automation but also minimize human error related inaccuracies.
Benefits and advantages:
- simple system operation,
- saving time,
- automation and reliability,
- remote reading and easy resource management,
- checked technology.

How it works
ISS Yachts is based on RFID technology. During the scanning process RFID tags bounce back the signal containing information about the ID, status and additional required information (a myriad of options available). This communication allows to run a stocktake without the necessity of touching or seeing the object and the progress can be monitored live on the scanner display.
The system consists of three main components:
- a set of RFID tags,
- a mobile scanner,
- a cloud based software.
Most common are adhesive tags, but depending on surface material, working environment and conditions bolt-on, rivet and many more options are available. We have tested many tags available on the market and only the ones that passed our rigorous procedures are being used in our system. These tags are attached to all relevant components of the equipment.
The software is easy to operate and consists of the following:
- an internet application software, which allows to manage all inventory components. You can set various locations (country/marina/boat name/areas on board). Also, you can create groups and types of equipment – depending on its purpose (navigational tools, fire hazard, engine room, canteen etc.),
- an Android app, which is installed on the dedicated scanner.
EU subsidies POIR.01.02.00-00-0024/18-00 under the competition 1/1.2/2018 Sectoral program INNOship Priority I: Support for R&D by enterprises Measure 1.2 Sectoral R&D programs.
Agreement No. POIR.01.02.00-00-0024/18-00 for co-financing the Project:
„Development of an innovative security system using RFID technology, allowing for reading data from RFID tags and mechanical protections in marine conditions, in order to increase the level of safety of vessels and inventory of equipment in the water environment” as part of the competition 1/1.2/2018 sectoral program INNOship Priority I: Support for R&D by enterprises Measure 1.2 Sectoral R&D programes.
The subject of the Project is the development of an innovative security system using RFID technology, allowing for reading data from RFID tags and mechanical protections in marine conditions, in order to increase the level of safety of vessels and inventory of equipment in the water environment.
The goals of the Project will be achieved by conducting R&D works on the propagation of radio waves (RFID) for passive and active technologies in the marine environment in the space of vessels. They will be used to apply RFID technology to increase security and speed up the inventory of vessels.
The result of the Project will be an innovative solution, unavailable on the European market. Equipping motorboats of the coast guard and other services moving on the water with hand-held or stationary readers will help in remote reading of the life-saving equipment of a given vessel. It will also provide assistance in rescue operations in rough seas, in the event of the need to locate life-saving elements in use or lost by vessels during a storm. Marking all equipment with mechanical protections and RFID tags with a specific frequency, adapted to the construction of the vessel, has a chance of practical application, as it will contribute to increasing the level of control of mandatory equipment, shortening the time of its inventory and reducing the number of thefts.
