EcoGuard used in intelligent crane management system of a large bulk carrier
Overview
The ship uses a single crane as an independent system, without data storage and viewing function, and the operators, engineers and personnel in the shore management center cannot directly view the parameters of the crane during operation, which is not conducive to the maintenance and management of the crane, and is not conducive to the crane fault analysis and maintenance, and cannot provide direct data recording basis for the shipowner when settling claims.
Solution
EcoGuard intelligent crane management system uses mechanical performance parameter monitoring, oil analysis, vibration monitoring and other status monitoring technology to collect the important operation parameters of ship crane and related auxiliary systems online or offline, and monitor them by means of data table, bar chart and curve chart. Through the comparative analysis of various parameters, the abnormal operation or fault condition of the equipment can be accurately judged. The operation status and health status of the crane are analyzed and evaluated, and the diagnosis results and reasonable suggestions are given.
Case Value

EcoGuard used in status monitoring of auxiliary blower for a large container ship
Overview
The M/E auxiliary blower is used when the output power of the M/E is low and the air exchange quality is poor, so as to maintain the normal operation of the M/E at low speed. It is generally used when the ship enters or leaves the port, or the M/E runs according to the situation, or when the M/E supercharger is damaged. It is only used as a standby. However, some of the crews not only use the auxiliary blower under the above conditions, but also rely on the auxiliary blower to improve the working condition of the M/E even during normal navigation condition, which increases the load of the generator and the mechanical loss of the motor, thus increasing the fuel consumption and spare parts consumption, which leads to the increase of the operating cost. The most serious problem is that in the normal voyage, once the M/E auxiliary blower is needed for emergency use, such as low-speed operation or turbocharger damage, and the ship is in a water area or sea state that is not allowed to stop and anchor. At this time, if the auxiliary blower is damaged due to lack of maintenance or excessive use, especially the damage caused by long-term use of bearings, the operation and the safety of the ship will be affected.
Solution
The EcoGuard intelligent data platform is used to realize the real-time acquisition and storage of the main operating status parameters of the auxiliary blower by means of status monitoring technology such as mechanical performance parameter monitoring and vibration monitoring. By means of data mining analysis, comparative analysis and AI algorithm, the operation status of auxiliary blower is comprehensively evaluated, the service life of main parts and components is estimated, the performance degradation trend is analyzed, the operation management is realized, the auxiliary decision support for maintenance is provided, and regular report and ship-shore data communication are made to meet the requirements of remote supervision.
Case Value
Real time data acquisition and storage
Data acquisition, data preprocessing and data storage in real time.
AI algorithm
Based on fault model, data driven, machine learning and big data analysis methods, the condition assessment and fault prediction of auxiliary blower are presented.
Remote monitoring of equipment
Through the ship-shore data communication, regular main engine operation report, it can satisfy the requirements of remote supervision of shipping management company.
EcoGuard used in M/E Load Diagram for a Large Vessel
Overview
The parameters of the M/E under different working conditions are measured before the ship is delivered from the factory, and the characteristic curve of the M/E is drawn for reference in the future machine operation. With the passage of time and the increase of operating hours, abnormal phenomena often occur and fuel consumption will increase. By using the relevant parameters measured in operation and comparing with the characteristic curve when leaving the factory, we can judge the cause and correct it in time, so as to eliminate the fault in the germination period, so that the machine can return to normal operation and realize energy saving and emission reduction.
Solution
The M/E load diagram is a data application example of EcoGuard Intelligent System. The real-time acquisition and storage of M/E speed, power and torque and other parameters are realized through EcoGuard ship-side intelligent data platform. At the same time, based on the data service of the data platform, through comparative analysis, it can alarm the abnormal operating conditions of the M/E, provide real-time display, historical query and playback functions, and regularly generate the M/E operation report and ship-shore data communication to satisfy the shore-side supervision.
Case Value
Real time data acquisition and storage
Data acquisition, data preprocessing and data storage in real time.
Ensure the normal operation of the M/E
Timely and accurate display of the current operating conditions of the M/E, early detection of faults, timely intervention, reduce the failure loss to the lowest level.
