Make the collection, management and distribution of your scientific measurement data easy and safe with DSHIP
All over the world, substantial resources are required to collect measurement data – on research vessels, diving robots, aircrafts or research stations. Just collecting the data consumes a lot of time and money and must be done properly at the outset.
With DSHIP, our information management for scientific geodata, you get a powerful platform that reliably takes care of managing and distributing the data for you. DSHIP also keeps your data available in the long term. Comprehensive services complete our offerings and can be customized to your needs.
A measurement data management system for marine research should have these capabilities
Again and again, our projects have substantiated that an efficient information management for scientific geodata should meet the following requirements in particular:
- Ensure top data quality
- Easy and quick integration of most diverse measurement devices
- Reliable logging of all relevant activities and data
- Fully configurable data linking, quality checking and data distribution
- Freely configurable dashboards
- Secure transport and long-term archiving of your data with global, secure access
- Comprehensive support prior to, during and long after the end of an expedition

Our customers profit from essential benefits with DSHIP
DSHIP has been tried and tested as data management system for scientific geodata
DSHIP is installed on many national and international research vessels and has proven itself successfully, e.g. on ships like Alba Na Mara, Alkor, Ara Austral, Atair, Clupea, Elisabeth Mann Borgese, Heincke, Isabu, Le Commandant Charcot, Maria S. Merian, Meteor, Mya II, Polarstern, Poseidon, Scotia, Solea, Sonne and Uthörn. Also the Neumayer III research station and the research aircrafts Polar 5 and Polar 6 use DSHIP successfully. And it is also used as technological basis on the buoys of the MARNET monitoring network.
