V-MO for monitoring of ocean vessel motors

2024, News

Asahi Kasei Engineering to introduce cloud-based predictive maintenance service V-MO for monitoring of ocean vessel motors at SMM 2024

Düsseldorf, Tokyo and New York – August 14, 2024 – Asahi Kasei will present V-MO, a new cloud-based service for the predictive maintenance of ocean vessel motors for the first time in Europe at Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology (SSM) 2024 – the world’s leading trade fair and conference event for the maritime industry – during September 3-6 in Hamburg, Germany. Launched in 2023, V-MO can contribute to stable operation and reduced downtime of oceangoing vessels.
V MO Cloud Service Diagnostic Platform scaled Asahi Kasei
Asahi Kasei Engineering (AEC) developed the V-MO service jointly with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) to detect signs of abnormalities in motors of ocean vessels. When a potential failure is predicted, repairs can be arranged before the vessel arrives at port. This enables prompt repairs when the vessel calls port, contributing to improved operational efficiency, faster maintenance, with reduced downtime.

By automatically collecting and analyzing data from vibration sensors installed in the ship motors, the system is designed to provide continuous condition monitoring and to identify irregularities without the need for specialized knowledge. The measured data is sent to the cloud, and the condition of the motor can be monitored from onshore. This service was developed based on AEC’s vibration diagnosis technology, with more than 50 years of practical application in plant engineering.

After the development and trial operation with MOL from 2017, the V-MO service was launched in May 2023. In April 2024, MOL Ship Management Singapore Pte Ltd. decided to install the system on its container vessels.

AEC will present V-MO’s hardware components as well as a demonstration of the V-MO cloud app at SSM 2024 in Hall B7, at the Japan Pavilion. To learn more about V-MO, visit https://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/aec-mkt/v-mo/en/
