Condition monitoring upgrade
New condition monitoring software aims to improve vessel reliability, increase uptime, enhance safety and save maintenance costs.
James Fisher Mimic (JFM) has launched Mimic 5, the latest version of its condition monitoring (CM) system.
Paul Mount, general manager at JFM, said: “The technology has been designed and developed in-house by our own software development team, allowing us to ensure we deliver yet another reliable and robust software, and one which can accommodate big data, is cloud-based and is compatible with a wide range of data collection possibilities making it really this and next generation ready.”
Condition and performance monitoring
Through automated, online and wireless data collection from vibration sensors, process sensors and vessel control systems, Mimic 5 enables condition and performance monitoring of machinery, vessels and fleets. The technology analyses vibration data, fluid quality, performance and efficiency to inform a data driven proactive maintenance strategy. Driven by client feedback, Mimic 5 is fully fleet enabled meaning clients and navies with fleets around the world can compare vessel data within one central platform – improving reliability and increasing uptime.
Aligning with emerging technologies and techniques within the maritime and military sectors, Mimic 5 is capable of viewing big data in a cross-platform, browser-based application with an improved high-performance data visualisation interface. Fully compatible with cloud-based environments, Mimic 5 aims to pave the way for a holistic maintenance approach, reducing maintenance, increasing efficiency and saving money.
