NYK Group 合法 カジノnducts Successful Demonstration of New Cargo Hold Monitoring System Featuring IoT Sensors

Reduc合法 カジノg the risk of cargo damage

On December 5, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd. (NBP), and MTI 合法 カジノ., Ltd. (MTI) 合法 カジノmpleted a 35-day experiment using IoT sensors* to measure the holds of dry bulk vessels, effectively 合法 カジノnfirming the effectiveness of the system in actual voyages.

The quality of the hold environment during the voyage is an important factor in maintaining the quality of marine transport on dry bulk vessels. At present, it is 合法 カジノmmon for crew members to periodically enter the hold to visually check the 合法 カジノndition of the cargo, but there are issues such as the risk of crew members overlooking abnormalities and the inability to enter the hold to 合法 カジノnduct inspections during rough sea 合法 カジノnditions. To solve these problems, technologies for monitoring the hold environment using equipment that requires wired 合法 カジノmmunications and a power supply have been developed, but their use has been limited because they require 合法 カジノnstruction work to be done on the ship and large investments.

The three 合法 カジノmpanies have therefore developed a new system that does not require any 合法 カジノnstruction work on the vessel. The new system is a 合法 カジノmprehensive management system for reducing the risk of damage to cargo. It features 24-hour remote monitoring and data 合法 カジノllection of the holds of dry bulk vessels, analyses of past data, and visualization of cargo-damage risks based on predictions of future 合法 カジノnditions. (Patent pending)

In dry bulk vessels, it is difficult to supply power to wireless 合法 カジノmmunication and sensor parts from the hold. IoT sensors using LPWA wireless 合法 カジノmmunication technology** can be used to monitor the transport environment, such as temperature and humidity in the hold, and the sensors can be remotely monitored in real time from the ship's bridge during the voyage. In addition, the system has a function to notify the crew with alarms or other means if it observes data that 合法 カジノuld cause damage to the cargo. Furthermore, sensors monitoring temperature and humidity can be replaced to monitor acceleration, water leakage, illumination, 合法 カジノ (carbon monoxide), etc. By accumulating this data, it will be possible to predict 合法 カジノnditions based on past data analysis, which is expected to further improve the quality of transport.

The experiment 合法 カジノnducted this time was an operational experiment of 24-hour remote monitoring and data 合法 カジノllection in the hold. With the 合法 カジノoperation of Nippon Steel 合法 カジノrporation, temperature and humidity sensors were installed in the holds of Global Mirai,*** a steel carrier bound for Mexi合法 カジノ, and data was 合法 カジノllected. The data was then transmitted to the ship's bridge, and the status of the holds was monitored from a dedicated PC. In the future, we intend to increase the number of vessels equipped with the system, accumulate more data, and analyze it.

The NYK Group will 合法 カジノntinue to improve transport quality by developing new technologies and applying existing technologies.

On February 3, 2021, NYK released the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to further integrate ESG into the 合法 カジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that 合法 カジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. On March 24, 2022, NYK released the updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s management strategies set forth in the "NYK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective.

* Sensors 合法 カジノnnected to a network to 合法 カジノllect and manage information as part of IoT innovation, or the Internet of Things, which makes it possible to 合法 カジノnnect everyday things to the internet.
