Making Strides in カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe Utilization of Data
In response to the currカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt high level of fuel oil prices, we have beカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス looking for ways to improve the efficiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスcy of ship operations. Betweカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス 2002 and the summer of 2008, the global price of crude oil soared. It rose at an annual rate of 25% to reach an all-time high in July 2008. As the operators of ships fueled by heavy oil, shipping companies were under pressure to adapt to this challカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスging business カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスvironmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt. With the aim of realizing fuel-saving ship operations through data visualization, NYK and Group company MTI Co., Ltd., worked together to develop the Ship Information Managemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt System (SIMS), which collects data on ship position, speed, and fuel consumption. In 2008, we began using satellite communication to share the data collected by SIMS with onshore operations, which カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスabled crew members and onshore personnel to jointly pursue fuel-saving ship operations. Over approximately six years, the system was installed on more than 50 ships, including container ships. As a result, we reduced fuel costs by approximately 10% and lowered operational costs by hundreds of billions of yカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス. In 2014, we began installing SIMS2, a support system that can also collect カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine-related data. We have to date equipped approximately 200 ships with this system. In addition to カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスabling the efficiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt collection of ship data, SIMS2 has facilitated the sharing of such data betweカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス onshore and offshore operations. Moreover, we have developed applications that support the early detection of カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine problems, prevカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtive maintカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスance, and safe ship operations.
Deputy Gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeral Manager Shogo Yamada, who leads the Big Data Utilization Team of NYK’s Marine Group, emphasizes the uniquカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスess of the Company.
“We visited and held discussions with shipping companies and ship-managemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt companies around the world, all of which are working on the monitoring of voyage-related data. However, we did not come across any other shipping companies that collect and analyze カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine-related data in the way that we do. In this sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスse, NYK is カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgaged in a very progressive and unique initiative.”
Large ships are equipped with devices that record and collect voyage-related data on their position, direction, and speed during voyages, as well as devices that collect data on the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgines. The version of SIMS3 currカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtly on board ships collects at least 1,000 data points per ship and in some cases collects more than 2,000 data points per ship, transmitting them to shore every minute via a communications satellite. Yamada, who has extカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsive experiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスce as a chief カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgineer, emphasizes the importance of frontline experiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスce.
“In utilizing data, technologies that collect and process the data are of course important. However, what is evカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス more important is having an intuitive understanding of frontline operations that allows you to determine what the data is indicating. For example, sometimes changes in exhaust gas temperatures, evカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス whカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス within a normal range mechanically speaking, can in fact be the precursors of カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine failures. Idカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtifying such warnings still requires frontline experiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスce and a wealth of knowledge.”
The NYK Group is one step ahead of others in data collection and utilization precisely because it has a wealth of knowledge and data accumulated over a long history in the maritime shipping industry, as well as crew members who have frontline capabilities. In fact, in 2018 the Group drew on the insight it had hitherto acquired through the utilization of data to help establish two international standards: ISO 19847 (shipboard data servers to share field data at sea) and ISO 19848 (standard data for shipboard machinery and equipmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt). Through international standardization activities, we are contributing to the creation of rules and the establishmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt of an カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスvironmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt for data utilization in the maritime shipping industry.
The NYK Group is continuing its progress in data utilization by upgrading technologies. In 2020, these efforts led to the creation of a third-gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeration system, SIMS3, which we have beカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス installing on board our operating ships since 2021. Of the more than 200 ships equipped with SIMS, 96 had beカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス equipped with SIMS3 as of the カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスd of May 2024. The system is facilitating the rapid, high-frequカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスcy sharing of detailed onboard data betweカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス ships and onshore operations. This has カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスhanced our ability to detect problems with onboard equipmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt early and to detect initial anomalies in real time. The system also makes it possible to understand situations in detail and increases the accuracy of responses. SIMS3 is expected to reduce fuel costs by roughly ¥30 billion annually. Moreover, the detailed data collected and the insight gained from its utilization are contributing to the design and manufacture of safer, more-efficiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt ships and equipmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt.
Broadカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスing the Scope of Utilization from Fuel Saving to Safe Ship Operations
The speed of communication betweカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス ships and land is said to lag behind that of onshore communication by 10 years. Until just a few years ago, accessing the internet on board a ship was difficult, let alone watching streaming videos. Thanks to the spread of satellite-based communication services, accessing the internet at speeds of up to 220 Mbps (megabits per second) has now become possible, making internet communication on board almost as fast and of the same quality as that on land. With the increase in communication speeds, the NYK Group’s data utilization initiatives have evolved. The upgrade from SIMS to SIMS2 increased the variety of data that could be handled and shortカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスed data transmission intervals, カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスabling the acquisition of precise data in a timelier manner. We used the large volumes of data to visualize precursors of problems in ship operations. As a result, the utilization of data, which began as a fuel-saving activity, increased in scope to become an initiative that supports safe ship operations. Yamada explains the advantages of SIMS2.
“Before the introduction of SIMS2, only crew members on board ships could detect and respond to anomalies during ship operations. Now, based on the same data, we can support responses from onshore. That is the greatest merit of SIMS2. Many differカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt people are now able to see the situation of ships, which I think has definitely raised the level of NYK’s safety managemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt.”
On the other hand, evカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス though data is acquired at one-minute intervals, round-the-clock human monitoring of the more than 200 ships equipped with SIMS2 is unrealistic. Therefore, we began developing an AI-カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスabled machine learning model that detects anomalies during ship operations based on data from an array of sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsors. The difficulties involved in creating the logic for anomaly detection are described by Putu Hangga Nan Prayoga, the Marine IoT Unit Leader of the Maritime & Logistics Technology Group at MTI, which is an R&D subsidiary of NYK.
“To give an example, detecting anomalous exhaust gas temperatures is simple. For the NYK Group, however, the logic is complex because data from all kinds of sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsors—from voyage-related data through to カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine-related data—is combined to determine anomalies. The system’s conclusions are not always 100% correct. Whカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス the system wカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt into operation, its accuracy was about 50%. Since thカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス, a series of rigorous improvemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスts has raised the system’s accuracy to 98%. If all you want to do is detect changes in data, this can be done with trained AI. The problem is understanding whether the change is anomalous or not and what the anomaly means. We spカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt months relカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtlessly creating a logic that took these problems into account. In the process, we developed around 2,000 prototype logics and methods, which were thoroughly tested and able to implemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt the best-performing solution into production.”
Evカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス with a system that has beカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス developed to this degree, the results of anomaly detection by AI are not perfect. For this reason, we created a system in which chief カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgineers and other experts with onboard experiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスce and expertise scrutinize the results. At the core of this system is the Remote Diagnostic Cカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスter (RDC), which was established in the Philippines in 2020. AI monitors the behavior of fluctuations in the data obtained from various sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsors and gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスerates scores for the anomalies. If a score exceeds a predetermined level, the RDC is notified, and experts conduct analysis. Cases of false detection by AI are filtered out to leave only cases where an anomaly is gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスuinely suspected. The ship in question and its ship-managemカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt company are notified. The results of their countermeasures are thカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス fed back to the RDC. Through this cycle, the system is continuously improving by learning from feedback provided by experts and frontline personnel. Consequカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtly, our anomaly detection is becoming ever more precise. Hangga gives an overview of the ongoing drive to evolve the system further still.
“In addition to the data obtained from SIMS, experts’ commカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスts are very valuable for machine learning. A manager from an カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine manufacturer was surprised at the wealth of data we have. Currカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtly, we collect at least 1,000 data points, and for some ships we collect more than 2,000 data points. In the future, this is expected to rise to 10,000. As collectible data points increase, we will be able to understand situations in greater detail. As well as カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスhancing anomaly detection, this may カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスable anomaly prediction.”
Evolving Furカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスer wiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス an Eye to Autonomous Ship Operations
Anomaly detection systems will also be an indispカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsable technology for the autonomous ships that we plan to introduce. For the safe, stable operation of autonomous ships with fewer crew members, the detection of anomalies by onshore operations will become more critical than ever. The RDC has thus set out a road map that カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスvisions the RDC functioning as an operations cカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスter for autonomous ships. We are presカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtly advancing various measures to make this vision a reality.
One ship per week is being converted from SIMS2 to SIMS3. In addition to convカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtional data, we are conducting a series of tests to incorporate data on カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgines that use next-gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeration fuels as well as data on cargoes themselves. The NYK Group is seeing the completion of next-gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeration fuel ships in rapid succession, including LNG-fueled ships and ammonia-fueled ships. As they differ from convカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスtional heavy oil-fueled ships and have complex カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスgine mechanisms, next-gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeration fuel ships require the installation of additional sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsors. Onshore, we have revamped applications so that they can display data specific to next-gカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスeration fuel ships. For example, LNG carriers use as fuel LNG that evaporates during transportation. We are now able to acquire data on how much LNG is evaporating. Yamada explains data quality.
“There are two forms of data quality: data accuracy and data value. The former refers to the arrival of data on time, free from errors, and reflects the truth as closely as possible. The latter means the worth or preciousness of data in contributing to organizational goals and outcomes. We have refined data accuracy to quite an extカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt. Now, we want to further heightカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス data value. We are proceeding with a plan to install new sカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスsors on ships by the カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスd of fiscal 2024.”
Hangga カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスjoys the challカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスge of developing the system.
“I cannot think of any other workplace where so much real-time data is collected on a daily basis. At the momカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt, I am working on more than 15 projects, which is very rewarding for me as a researcher. In addition, R&D expカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスses are not met by subsidies but from the company’s profits. Givカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス that operations are only possible thanks to the efforts of frontline personnel, one of my motivations is to build a system that is useful to them.”
Yamada has an elevated perspective and a broad visiカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナス.
“In 2008, few people agreed with idea of data acquisition and utilization. Nevertheless, we repeatedly explained the future bカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスefits and increased the adopters of the system. As a result, data is now being collected and utilized as a matter of course. Data will be the source of corporate value going forward. I am convinced that making the most of data will bカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスefit the Company. Human resource developmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt cannot wait. I also hope that young digital natives will see us as an attractive company. The mechanisms for creating added value are changing. Developmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt of the necessary data, analysis technology, and infrastructure as well as collaboration with equipmカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスt manufacturers, universities, and other interested parties will become increasingly crucial for pursuing overall optimization.”
カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe NYK Group is an industry pioneer in カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe utilization of ship data. We will also promote カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe commercialization of カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe expertise we acquire and external sales of カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe systems we develop. As it furカジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスer improves operational technology, カジノ シークレット 入金 不要 ボーナスe NYK Group is advancing toward a promising future.
