JF Mimic monitoring software for Stolt

The Mimic condition monitoring software will enable Stolt to monitor its 75 vessels in real-time and take proactive and preventative maintenance measures. It will also be installed at Stolt’s onshore head office, where it will provide instant condition status alerts which can be pushed back to vessels.

“Mimic was the ideal choice for collecting, validation and the visualisation of digitalised data. The company vision is to facilitate easy access for all relevant stakeholders, both at sea and ashore,” said Andres Casanova, Stolt’s maintenance and reliability manager.

“It will empower the organisation to take the lead with regards to proactive intervention of in-/de-creasing trends or exceeding threshold values. This will further enhance our operational safety and improve the technical reliability of our key assets.”

Aspects of the standard Mimic condition monitoring software suite have been further developed to satisfy Stolt’s key demands by enhancing the software to allow raw operating data from various sources, such as the main and generator engines, cargo pumps and other auxiliary machinery.

The system also integrates spectrographic oil analysis results, asset condition reports, such as feed water purity and cathodic protection reports, into one easy to view dashboard from which managers can extract real time information.

Having the option to import data in the system either manually or electronically offers flexibility and the automated procedures help to reduce the time and effort spent.
