Have you ever wondered how you can integrate an on-board monitoring program with your preventative maintenance program. This is now possible with the partnership between WheelHouse and GPLink. WheelHouse provides an easy-to-use comprehensive program for managing the maintenance, documentation, and spare parts for a vessel or fleet. GP Link provides remote monitoring of the most critical parameters of your engines as well as auxiliary systems. These remote capabilities allow you to monitor your assets from anywhere in the world. Integration between GP Link and WheelHouse through the Internet of Things (IoT) allows our yacht and fleet customers the ability to have engine hours automatically fed into WheelHouse, eliminating the need for data entry and ensuring maintenance is up to date. This automation tool can be especially useful with vessels in remote locations and large fleets. Contact us to learn the benefits of these programs and how they can assist you in ensuring the safety, reliability, and value of your vessel or fleet.

Planned Maintenance Periods
In an effort to provide our continually growing customer base efficient and reliable service, we are planning two upcoming maintenance events. Both of these events will require WheelHouse to be off-line for a limited time. The details on the times and the system improvements are below. During these maintenance periods, users will not be able to access WheelHouse and a maintenance screen will be shown at our system URL of http://mms.wheelhousetech.com. Once the maintenance is complete, the log-in URL will be restored and system access will resume.
Maintenance Event #1: Tonight, March 7th from 8:00pm until 12:00am EST
- A replica of all production data will be copied to our staging environment. To ensure a complete copy, the system needs to be off-line and no production files or system structure will be changed during this event.
- This copy will provide a complete system snapshot including: codebase; user files; and system database. Normally these items are backed up separately.
- This snapshot will allow our staging database to be a true replica of production for specific use case testing.
- In addition, this replication provide a live system test for our planned migration of the production database to a High Availability Group scheduled Monday, March 13th.
Maintenance Event #2: Monday, March 13th from 8:00pm until 12:00am EST
- Codebase server will be enhanced to a fully scale-able high-performance, Raid 10-protected SSD
- Database is being upgraded to a High Availability Group to improve the reliability and provide additional redundancy.
