ABB has added a new online platform for fleet-wide ship performance optimisation to its Ability range of digital products, with the introduction of its Marine Fleet Intelligence – Advisory service.
The SaaS (Software as a Service) product combines cloud-based analytics and reporting, collecting data from a variety of vessel systems, such as navigation, propulsion, fuel consumption, loading conditions, weather and speed logs, for analysis and benchmarking of operational performance between different vessels.
“Better data is a basis for the better insights which empower better decisions. Better decisions bring greater efficiency and more sustainable operations,” said Jyri Jusslin, Senior Vice President Service, ABB Marine & Ports.
“We are proud to offer the ABB Ability Marine Fleet Intelligence – Advisory as a single platform featuring uniform reporting for customers seeking a robust analytics service capable of fleet-wide data collection. Verifiable emissions data also offer transparency on energy use on board for compliance with tightening greenhouse gas regulations.”
Users can access operational performance information by signing into the ABB Ability Marine Fleet Portal, which runs on Microsoft Azure and integrates Power BI business analytics. The online platform offers interactive visualisations and business intelligence capabilities, allowing end users to create customisable reports and dashboards.
