ABB helps shipowners digitalise

ABB Ability OneBox – Marine Signals Monitoring transfers the signals from shipboard sensors to cloud infrastructure for access and analysis by the shipowner.

Antto Shemeikka, head of digital services at ABB Marine & Ports, said: “OneBox demonstrates our commitment to supporting shipping companies with their digitalisation strategies.

“By continuing to provide shipowners with intelligent digital solutions, we are contributing to a smarter, greener and more efficient marine environment.”

Calculating fuel consumption

Based on the information, shipowners can calculate fuel consumption and evaluate the possible need for further action to ensure compliance with the IMO’s EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index) and CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) targets.

Vessel operating data can be visualised using ABB analytics software such as ABB Ability Marine Fleet Intelligence real-time fleet monitoring and analysis, ABB Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite, or a third-party web-based platform.

OneBox is straightforward to install and maintain, with commissioning performed either onboard or remotely, and future-proof, as it is compatible with any platform that allows data analysis and interpretation and can be scaled up to include sensors from additional equipment.
