ABOUT HALTIAN RESEARCH
Driving IoT Innovation Through Research Collaborations and Ecosystems
Today, IoT technology is at its rapid development stage. It’s already possible to notice that its expansion is fast and large-scale, as predicted by Gartner. For many, this evolution comes with novel and unforeseen opportunities and threats. Our goal is to predict these opportunities and to mitigate the risks instead. The best way to do it is to be where the action is – at the heart of knowledge development.
Our success philosophy is in the creation of new products and services that meet not only present, but also future demands of our customers. Research enables us to thrive at the intersection of incremental, modular and architectural innovation – improving costs and features, technology components or even the whole architecture of products in our offering and any related services. This is what enables us to create and deliver added value to our customers in everything we do and to sustain the competitive edge in developing connected solutions for businesses across domains.
Research is essential for Haltian

Sea 4 Value Future Fairway Research Program
02/2020 – 01/2022
Smart fairway navigation and safe operations at sea to enable future autonomous maritime transport.
The program focuses on ensuring the maritime safety of navigation and operations. At present, it is ensured through complex effort: master, crew, pilots, vessel traffic services (VTS), and aids to navigation. Future technology developments are aiming to automate these functions. The mission of the Future Fairway is to provide blueprints towards digitalisation, service innovation and information flows in maritime transport. Its longer term mission is in preparing for advanced autonomous operations and navigation.
Other Research activities
Haltian is also part of the ONE SEA ecosystem. ONE SEA is a high-profile ecosystem with a primary aim to lead the way towards an operating autonomous maritime ecosystem by 2025. The collaboration gathers together leading marine experts and is a strategic combination of top research, state-of-the-art information technology and business. The work began in 2016, and the aim is to create an environment suitable for autonomous ships by 2025.
NSF IUCRC CVDI
The United States National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC)
Center for Visual and Decision Informatics (CVDI)
CVDI is one of NSF IUCRC research centers, where Haltian is an industry member. CVDI promotes high-quality industry relevant research and direct technology transfer of ideas, research results and technology to industry. It brings a consortium of researchers and students across multiple universities to advance research and innovation in big data with respect to Internet of Things – specifically how large scale multi-dimensional datasets are analyzed and interpreted using advanced data mining, and visual and perceptual techniques for decision makers.
CVDI’s mission is to research and develop next generation technologies in data science, big data, analytics, including visual analytics, augmented intelligence, and decision informatics to enable decision makers in government and industry to fundamentally improve the way their organization’s information is interpreted and analyzed. CVDI brings together, analytic, visual and perceptual techniques by advancing the state-of-the-art in the research fields of Information Visualization, Visual Analytics and Automated Analysis.
CVDI’s value proposition offers a low cost, low risk venue for the industry to validate the early stage innovation with involvement of major research university faculty, post doctorate scholars and students.
CVDI is co-funded by Business Finland.
