A bridge when the logger is offline
The planned app will connect locally to SmartTrim logging hardware, transfer completed sessions and upload them when the phone has internet connectivity.
Planned capabilityPilot testing now open
Capture what the boat actually did.
SmartTrim Logger is the field-data foundation for SmartTrim. The current pilot records synchronized IMU and GPS data, guided maneuver labels, prop-test samples, setup metadata and operator notes so each run can be analyzed with its real context intact.
Current pilot system
High-frequency motion and GPS data with a guided testing workflow.
The pilot logger records ICM-42688 inertial data and USB GPS/NMEA data locally while a phone-based interface guides the tester through setup and repeatable maneuvers. Every CSV row can carry the active wizard step and phase so later analysis knows what the boat was doing when the sensor data was captured.
Pilot testing SmartTrim Logger
- High-frequency IMU motion logging
- GPS position, speed and course
- Guided maneuver and event labels
- Stationary calibration and run context
- Boat, propulsion, propeller and load metadata
- CSV logs with matching session metadata
Guided field testing
Collect training-quality context, not just raw sensor streams.
The current workflow supports guided steps for calibration, acceleration onto plane, steady cruise, engine-trim changes, trim-tab tests, controlled turns, light-chop operation and deceleration/off-plane behavior, with free logging available outside the wizard.
That structure helps distinguish one operating state from another and creates cleaner inputs for future analysis, model development and vessel-specific calibration.
Where the platform is going
From local field logger to connected marine analytics.
The current pilot retrieves completed logs from the logger after a session. The product roadmap moves that workflow into a native SmartTrim app and authenticated SmartTrim Cloud portal.
Use onboard or dock Wi-Fi when available
If the logging device has suitable internet access, completed sessions can synchronize directly without requiring the phone to serve as the transfer bridge.
Planned capabilityRuns, dashboards and reports
SmartTrim Cloud is planned to provide authenticated vessel histories, downloadable data, visual dashboards, generated reports and comments attached to individual runs.
Planned capabilityCollaborate with a professional you choose
Owners will be able to grant selected marine professionals permission to review specific data—for example, sharing SmartTrim Prop sessions with a participating propeller tuner.
Planned capabilityCommon questions
SmartTrim Logger in the field and beyond.
Does the current Logger require NMEA 2000?
No. The current pilot logger uses a dedicated IMU and USB GPS and can operate independently of the vessel's NMEA 2000 network. Broader vessel-network integration is part of the SmartTrim roadmap, not a requirement for today's field logger.
Does it need internet while the boat is running?
No. The pilot records locally. The future synchronization model is intentionally offline-first so logging continues even when cellular or marina Wi-Fi is unavailable.
What happens to completed sessions in the future?
The planned native app and SmartTrim Cloud portal will move completed sessions into an authenticated customer environment for download, dashboards, reporting, comments and permissioned collaboration.
How does Logger relate to SmartTrim Prop?
Logger provides the underlying field-data workflow. SmartTrim Prop applies a structured RPM/GPS speed sampling process and propeller-specific setup information so performance changes can be compared and eventually reviewed with participating propeller specialists.
