The hospitality and subsea monitoring industries are undergoing significant transformations, driven by advancements in technology and changing customer expectations. In this article, we’ll explore how companies like Elettra, MacArtney, FCS Solutions, and others are innovating to meet the evolving needs of their customers.
Subsea Monitoring: Enhancing Environmental Research
In Southern Italy and Sicily, regions known for seismic and volcanic activities, the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) is enhancing its capacity for environmental monitoring and research. To achieve this, INGV has partnered with Elettra and MacArtney to deliver critical subsea infrastructure, including a new subsea power, communication, and data transmission network located 2,200m deep and 35km offshore from Catania, Italy.
“The scope of this collaboration involves installing and connecting a new subsea power, communication and data transmission network located 2,200m deep and 35km offshore from Catania, Italy, where INGV will strongly enforce its existing marine site as part of the ITINERIS project (Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System).” - Source
This partnership will enable INGV to install new multidisciplinary submarine observatories, including oceanographic, geophysics, and seismic sensors, on the final slopes of the Etna volcano at a depth of more than 2,000 meters in the southern part of the Messina Strait.
Hotel Operations: Streamlining with Cloud-Based Solutions
In the hospitality industry, companies like FCS Solutions are revolutionizing hotel operations with cloud-based solutions. FCS1, their flagship product, is an all-in-one cloud-based solution that simplifies workflows, automates processes, and optimizes operations across various hotel departments.
