About MOLO17
Challenges
- Relaying coordinates and location information to the coast guard via radio resulted in a higher likelihood for inaccuracies and miscommunication due to the close proximity of vessels
- It took a long time to find sailors in the open sea, since there are more than one thousand boats that all look similar
- Lack of internet connectivity while boats are on the water delayed communication and assistance
Outcomes
- 200 app downloads and 10 boats rescued in minutes vs. hours
- Precise, one-tap location information from sailors leading to safer events and faster emergency response times
- Streamlined information flow, offline availability, and near-real-time synchronization even while the app is in the background
- Happier, safer sailing teams
With the support of Insiel SpA and our partner Couchbase, MOLO17 is proud to have delivered a strategic tool that the Italian Coast Guard can deploy in emergency situations where it is critical to precisely locate and communicate with vessels at sea.
