Improve efficiency with ABB analytics

The ABB Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite collects operational, engineering and information technology data from onboard equipment, helping shipowners make more informed decisions.

A persistent challenge has been the tendency to process data on a system-by-system basis, rather than analysing interdependent operations. ABB Ability Genix analyses the relationships between processes and events, using embedded fusion hubs and machine learning to map out a far richer picture of what is really taking place on a vessel or across a fleet.

“The platform pools large varieties of data from shipboard systems, such as maintenance systems and third-party equipment, to deliver greater data fusion than has ever been possible,” said Antto Shemeikka, head of digital services, ABB Marine & Ports.

ABB estimates that deeper insights into a vessel’s operational data can result in up to 10% fuel reduction and a 30% reduction in essential service visits.

“ABB is now offering the marine industry a scalable platform that is flexible enough to meet today’s needs cost effectively and robust enough to support tomorrow’s ambitions,” said Jyri Jusslin, head of global service, ABB Marine & Ports.

“Whether the goal is to save fuel and cut emissions, enhance vessel uptime or to improve a company’s financial performance, all digitalisation projects benefit from the most extensive monitoring and measurement,” he added.
