One of the first implementations of Artificial Intelligence curated by Videoworks will be presented during a press conference to be held 27 September at MYS 2024.
Sergio Saponara from the Department of Computer Engineering at the University of Pisa will discuss the potential applications of AI in the yachting industry, and also on display at the Videoworks stand (stand DS88) will be the new Loewe TV screens, (the champions of design and technology), the SD-WAN system for optimising internet on yachts, and the ETO Panel for the control of all on board functions.
Over 25 years of experience and hundreds of innovative audio/video, entertainment, IT and lighting and comfort systems installed on board superyachts sailing around the world are the hallmarks of Videoworks.
Bolstered by this experience and achievements, the Italian company is always looking ahead. This year it will surprise the press and operators in the sector at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024 (25 to 28 September) by presenting the first real implementation of AI (Artificial Intelligence) realised on a yacht.
This preview is in addition to three other new products on display: the new TV screens by Loewe (the champions of design and technology), the SD-WAN system (to optimise internet connections on yachts) and the ETO Panel, for the control of all onboard functions.
AI is ready to sail, thanks to Videoworks
During the press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show, Videoworks will present the AI installation designed for energy management on an electric-powered superyacht.
Sergio Saponara, Director of the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Pisa, will introduce the topic with an accessible overview of the technology, followed by a discussion of the opportunities for its implementation in the nautical sector.
Maurizio Minossi, CEO of Videoworks, will provide a detailed explanation of the project. The opportunities offered by AI are numerous: they enhance onboard comfort while simultaneously helping to reduce energy waste.
For example, one AI application calculates the temperature setpoints of the guest cabin air conditioning based on the yacht’s energy reserves or predicts hotel consumption for the next six hours according to the number of passengers, location, weather conditions, and the planned route.
Other innovations and collaborations that will be presented at the Videoworks Stand during the MYS 2024 include:
The exclusive Loewe televisions
Internet as at home with the SD-WAN System
With the spread of low-orbit satellites, such as Starlink or OneWeb, and with 5G connection, more and more shipowners are accustomed to enjoying audio and video content on their yacht as if they were at home.
Satellite TV now can have a
