IKM Instrutek has joined forces with Kongsberg Digital (KDI) to connect its services to Vessel Insight, Kongsberg’s cloud-based platform that collects data on board the vessel and transfers the data securely to the cloud.
By connecting IKM Instrutek’s sensors and services to Vessel Insight, Condition Monitoring Services are now offered to common customers. IKM Instrutek’s Condition Monitoring Services will be made available on the Kognifai Marketplace, as an addition to the growing number of third-party, customer-owned and Kongsberg applications.
Andreas Jagtøyen, EVP Digital Ocean, Kongsberg Digital, said:“We are happy to announce our new partnership with IKM Instrutek. We expect this partnership to provide great value for our customers, as well as for IKM and KDI. IKM Instrutek is delivering equipment and services related to lifecycle management of critical equipment in heavy asset industries, and these services, combined with additional services in the KDI ecosystem, have great potential to become a stepping stone for our customers to enter into a Condition Based Maintenance strategy for their assets. With the demanding need and focus for Condition Monitoring and predictive maintenance in all industries, the use of IKM Instrutek’s already proven CM system will now be integrated to KDIs Vessel Insight. This way, end users can retrieve, display and store data to secure their vessels’ uptime, having real-time data from critical machinery for evaluation during auto-diagnosis, or IKM Instrutek analyst experts connecting to the ship, onshore server or a cloud." Robert Kaasa, Manager Machine Protection and Condition Monitoring IKM Instrutek, added: "By identifying early signs of wear, tear and damage, it is possible to plan optimal maintenance, thereby ensuring maximum uptime. As a certified service provider for Condition Monitoring by DNV GL, ABS and Lloyds we offer full-range delivery, including surveys, engineering, installation, commissioning, analysis and support.”
