Improve sustainable efficiency via meaningful KPIs Endress+Hauser provides the digital platform for transferring physical events into valuable information.

The challenge Shipping is a business based on cost cutting and efficiency. Therefore it is a true challenge to continuously improve the KPIs in order to achieve sustainability. Moreover, maritime technology has reached a point of maturity where any new evolution only influences the efficiency marginally. A new model is taking shape: Smart Shipping. Basically, this model relies on the way a ship is operated rather than how it is built or equipped. To facilitate the transition to Smart Shipping, maritime technology should embrace the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). Our solution Mass Flowmeters — as well as other onboard metering devices and control systems — are not mere instruments of observation; they are part of an integrated “ecosystem” where readings are converted into data elements; data combined with other physical events create valuable information that enable companies to take safe decisions and operate their vessels in a smart way.

Using the SeeMBox-V © Open Digital Platform from SetelHellas, Endress+Hauser offers a holistic approach on fuel and energy management. This integrated solution enables ship owners and operators to: • Enjoy insightful decision making, based on accurate, timely and auditable data. • Ameliorate efficiency. • Minimize operating expenses. • Demonstrate predictability, increased productivity and eliminate downtime. • Ensure conformity with environmental regulations and directives. • Achieve compliance with any current, or future, emission or consumption monitoring directive (EU, IMO, etc.). • Monitor and react on any critical or underperformance issue or any other related KPI, before it affects the operational results of a vessel. • Experience significant reputational benefits towards a highly competitive market.
