This summer brought a new focus for some important companies in the sector: engine digitalization. MAN Energy Solutions, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and HSD Engine (HSD) signed a strategic agreement to cooperate in the field of marine engine systems digitization. The companies are now defining a framework for a future long-term strategic digital cooperation.
The words of the companies on this cooperation for engine digitalization
Brian Østergaard Sørensen, Head of R&D 2-Stroke Business at MAN Energy Solutions, said: «MAN is determined to drive the digital transition of the marine industry. We strongly believe that this transition can best be achieved through cooperation and collaboration including customers and providers across the industry. This agreement is a step in this direction and brings together market leading expertise in the fields of shipbuilding and engine design, manufacturing and operation».
D. K. Choi, Head of DSME’s R&D Institute: «DSME is conducting R&D activities to combine digital technology to various fields in shipbuilding including collaboration with marine engine makers».
D. W. Park, Head of Design & R&D at HSD said: «Through this strategic cooperation agreement, HSD will share our own service experiences to DSME and MAN Energy Solution. Furthermore, we will also continue our role as a pioneer engine manufacturer in the field of smart ship in order to serve our customers a real-time monitoring service with remote supports through the advanced engine diagnosis technology».
The three companies aim to cooperate in areas such as the digitalization of marine engine solution and auxiliary systems data, the collection and analysis of the data and the integration of it with smart ship platforms and intelligent diagnostic solutions.
MAN CEON
MAN Energy Solutions has made the digital transition a core element of its strategy and has announced its new digital platform MAN CEON this year. A platform that collects and evaluates operating and sensor data, and enables the real-time monitoring of marine and power-plant engines, turbines and compressors.
Per Hansson, Head of Digital and Strategy at MAN ES, said: «MAN CEON is the new backbone of our developing digital-service business. Digitization is often reduced to a technical level, but is really about providing more valuable services to our customers. Thanks to MAN CEON, we can provide our customers onshore and on-board with even more timely and insightful support in their daily operations, and optimize the availability and efficiency of their installations».
The operating data of all systems and ships connected via CEON can be transmitted to customer sites as well as MAN service centers in real time. From here, MAN can support customers with problem solving and maintenance.
