Norwegian software company Miros has launched a new wave and vessel motion prediction system, named PredictifAI.
The product delivers a real-time, in-operation picture of the wave field around a vessel providing deterministic predictions of ocean waves and vessel motion in the range of seconds to a couple of minutes in advance.
PredictifAI pairs artificial intelligence (AI) with X-band radar and local wave height measurements to deliver monitoring that automatically adapts to varying sea and weather conditions.
The company notes that system doesn’t require calibration, modelling, or any other twin representation of the vessel, automatically creating its own digital twin.
“For 40 years, Miros has been a pioneer in high-quality ocean technology, relentlessly pushing boundaries to enhance the efficiency and safety of offshore operations without compromising quality. With PredictifAI it is no different and this is the next step in this development,” said Marius Five Aarset, Miros CEO.
“PredictifAI is a further demonstration of our commitment to staying ahead of the wave, inspiring confidence that will shape the future of the sector. The result of the hard work of our in-house team of industry experts, this next-generation technology represents a significant leap forward in maritime safety and operational efficiency.”
The software can also feed into dynamic positioning systems, giving offshore operators advanced warning that waves with certain characteristics and vessel motion effects are approaching.
