Condition-based monitoring expansion

IKM Instrutek is connecting its sensors and services to KDI’s cloud-based Vessel Insight platform, enabling customers to access its condition monitoring services on the Kognifai Marketplace.

Andreas Jagtøyen, executive vice president for Digital Ocean in Kongsberg Digital, said the partnership would provide great value for customers and industry alike. “IKM Instrutek is delivering equipment and services related to lifecycle management of critical equipment in heavy asset industries, and these services, combined with additional services in the KDI ecosystem, have great potential to become a stepping stone for our customers to enter into a condition-based maintenance strategy for their assets,” he said.

Integrating IKM Instrutek’s proven CM system with KDI’s Vessel Insight means that end users can retrieve, display and store data to secure their vessels’ uptime and use real-time data from critical machinery during auto-diagnosis.

“By identifying early signs of wear, tear and damage, it is possible to plan optimal maintenance, thereby ensuring maximum uptime,” said Robert Kaasa, dept. manager Machine Protection & Condition Monitoring in IKM Instrutek.

“As a certified service provider for condition monitoring by DNV GL, ABS and Lloyd`s we offer full-range delivery, including surveys, engineering, installation, commissioning, analysis and support.”
