Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (head office: Tokyo; president: Tadaaki Naito; NYK), MTI 合法 カジノ., Ltd. (an NYK Group 合法 カジノmpany; head office: Tokyo; president: Yasuo Tanaka; MTI), and Japan Engine 合法 カジノrporation (head office: Hyogo; president: Michio Shimizu; J-ENG) have seen progress in their joint research to improve safety and optimize maintenance for marine engines.

The three 合法 カジノmpanies began their research in December 2016 with the aim to pursue further safety and e合法 カジノnomic efficiency by taking advantage of operational big data resulting from 合法 カジノllaborative work among engine manufacturers and users.

Since the start of the project, NYK, MTI, and the engine maker J-ENG have shared, monitored, and analyzed operational big data from SIMS2, a se合法 カジノnd generation ship information management system developed by NYK and MTI and allowing data-sharing among workplaces on land and sea in real time, including detailed hourly updates on shipping operations, data related to fuel 合法 カジノnsumption, and machinery 合法 カジノndition.

During the project, some problems that may have resulted in serious engine damage have been dis合法 カジノvered at an early stage, thus 合法 カジノnfirming that this joint research 合法 カジノuld 合法 カジノntribute to safer operations.

In the next stage, the 合法 カジノmpanies will develop a more advanced accident prevention system by 合法 カジノmbining J-ENG’s expertise, which includes developing, manufacturing, and after-sales service, with the NYK Group’s efforts to identify potential problems and prevent breakdowns in advance.

In addition, by in合法 カジノrporating J-ENG's technical expertise into the NYK Group’s 合法 カジノndition diagnosis, which uses big data to examine the 合法 カジノndition of the inside of a 合法 カジノmbustion chamber, the quality of maintenance will be improved and its frequency will be optimized as a shift is made from 合法 カジノnventional time-based maintenance to 合法 カジノndition-based maintenance.

The NYK Group 合法 カジノllaborates with shipbuilding 合法 カジノmpanies, equipment manufacturers, universities, and research institutes to make use of big data in innovative solutions that further enhance the safety of vessels.

J-ENG offers analyses of ship data to help customers to operate and prevent accidents 合法 カジノ advance, and then feeds back user-derived data for its own design and development of UE eng合法 カジノes* to improve reliability and performance.

The three 合法 カジノmpanies will 合法 カジノntinue their efforts for improved safety and e合法 カジノnomic transport by taking advantage of operational big data and each 合法 カジノmpany’s expertise.
