Kaiko Systems launches AI maintenance assistant

Kaiko Systems has launched a new maritime AI agent called KAI, aimed at supporting technical management teams in optimising maintenance operations.

The system is used to analyse reports and pictures sent by crews to document hull and equipment conditions, enhancing image quality and detecting issues such as corrosion to avoid uninformed decisions or delays caused by unnecessary follow-up email correspondence.

“Superintendents can only be in one place at a time, and check one data point at a time, but KAI can assess hundreds of images simultaneously, providing AI-driven feedback and summaries on vessel health,” said Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder and CEO, Kaiko Systems.

“KAI provides superintendents with the data and insights they need to make informed decisions quickly, freeing them from time-consuming manual processes and allowing them to focus on making strategic decisions rather than getting bogged down in data analysis. KAI is more than a feature, he is a diligent team member, fully aware of every ship in the fleet.”

Modules include KAI Sight, which enhances image clarity for better maintenance decisions, and KAI Analysis, which assesses hundreds of images per hour to provide accurate data and automatic suggestions on next steps.

KAI Corrosion detects and measures corrosion, while KAI Control verifies inspection data by reviewing crew reports and analytics. KAI Chat provides vessel information, generates reports, and answers queries using natural language, within the context of fleet and operational history.
