Renderbit Technologies was engaged by a ship management company to develop a vessel energy monitoring solution that provides real-time and continuous monitoring of on-vessel equipment such as main engines, auxiliary engines, pumps, and air conditioning units. The solution was designed to track energy use and efficiency, provide real-time alerts, and enable data-driven insights into energy consumption across different vessel components. The project was implemented in phases, beginning with hardware integration and HMI dashboards, followed by cloud deployment and satellite communication for real-time vessel-to-shore data links.
The ship management company faced several key challenges in energy monitoring:
- Lack of Real-Time Energy Data: On-vessel equipment energy usage was not monitored in real time, leading to inefficiencies in fuel consumption and overall energy management.
