Technical solution brief
Ship data logging & fuel monitoring
A connected view of engine performance, fuel consumption and operating data.
Monitoring & vessel data
The requirement
Vessel teams need consistent records across engines, generators, thrusters and fuel systems to support maintenance and operating decisions.
Engineering scope
Sensor and flow-meter data collection, PLC-based logging, remote dashboards and alerts for operating deviations.
Systems & technology
Mass-flow measurement, RPM and load signals, temperature and density measurements, gateway communications and cloud dashboards.
Scope & application
The supplied brief describes monitoring capabilities rather than quantified project savings. Portfolio references include SCI Kundan, SCI Nalanda and SCI Ahimsa.
Parameters monitored
Main-engine RPM and pitch, inlet/outlet flow, temperature, density and cylinder performance.
Diesel-generator RPM, load and fuel consumption; shaft-generator load and drive/non-drive-end measurements.
Thruster load and pitch, plus fuel use across propulsion engines, generators and bunkering operations.
Data collection and access
Mass-flow meters account for temperature and density changes rather than measuring volume alone.
A PLC-based logger records sensor data and transmits it through a gateway to a central cloud platform.
Dashboards provide operating records and remote access for authorised users, with alerts for fuel-use deviations, engine anomalies and maintenance needs.
