The challenge: connecting embedded systems to modern analytical platforms
The client operates in some of the most demanding environments — supervising remotely operated vessels on the high seas, operating marine drones, offshore operations, and dual-use civil/defense projects. In these contexts, system reliability, real-time data quality, and decision traceability are not optional.
The challenge was to connect embedded systems — sensors, radars, cameras, GPS — to modern analytical platforms, in order to remotely supervise operations, anticipate failures, and industrialize business processes (HR, invoicing, contracting) across the group.

Our approach: connecting field data to operational decision-making
Five projects have been carried out since 2020, all following the same logic.
1. Remote supervision of a remotely operated vessel
Centralization of navigation data (GPS, gyros, cameras, consumption) and real-time supervision via Power BI, from a remote control center.
2. Analytical interfaces for marine drones
Utilization of onboard sensors, performance indicators (covered areas, consumption, availability), real-time multi-sensor visualization (Power BI Embedded, Azure Synapse, REST API).
3. Automated HR contract management
HR calculation simulator to automate the processing of allowances (leave, precariousness, end of mission) across the group's various entities.
4. Financial tracking and invoicing
Streamlining of flows, customer payment tracking, analytical integration for management control.
5. Digitalization of contract management
Power Automate/Power BI workflows, fleet availability dashboards, MTBF, costs per mission. This also includes a maritime radar simulation demonstrator for R&D and internal training.
Before / After
Five projects in five years have transformed data management in critical maritime environments — from naval supervision to back-office processes.The contrast between the historical chain and the industrialized chain illustrates the extent of the transformation, carried out in less than 10 weeks.
• Naval supervision : transitioned from local ship control to real-time remote supervision, from a remote control center. went from 6 man-days to by report and by entity — a production ratio divided by 50.
• Drone sensor exploitation : transitioned from unutilized data to a consolidated real-time multi-sensor visualization, operational decision support.
• HR processes : transitioned from manual compensation processing to an automated system , standardized across the group.
• Contract management : transitioned from fragmented tracking to automated dashboards on fleet availability, MTBF, and mission costs.
— When data powers critical operations: from marine sensors to decision-making dashboards.
Our consultants design analytical platforms for defense, aerospace, industry, and critical operations.
From sensor data to strategic decision-making, in a secure and sovereign environment.
A rare expertise: data + critical environments
Over five years of partnership, Prime Analytics has delivered five projects covering naval supervision, drone sensor operation, HR process automation, financial tracking, and the digitalization of contract management. Each project connected a new facet of the client's operations to a modern analytical platform, with a measurable impact on operational steering and productivity.
Beyond individual deliverables, the partnership showcases a rare expertise: the ability to design, industrialize, and operate data solutions in critical environments — where reliability, security, and sovereignty are non-negotiable.
This solid foundation, built project after project, paves the way for new developments — predictive AI for maintenance, intelligent supervision, augmented simulation and training — serving European defense and aerospace stakeholders.
Connecting our marine sensors to real-time dashboards has transformed our approach to operational data.“With Prime Analytics, we were able to get this project up and running in just a few days. Their knowledge of Alteryx and their technical expertise allowed us to move quickly and obtain greater precision than we expected. This model has made us gain in reliability, speed and autonomy.”
