These innovations are no longer associated to the products and services. They will also revolutionize maritime maintenance and management services.
COVID-19 is clearly highlighted how much routine services and operational activities, such as ship’s inspections or service engineers attendances can be affected.
SEAHARMONY is presenting a revolutionary platform in Maritime Sector for smart remote activities such as all kind of ship’s inspections, Navigation assessments, any kind of remote service attendances by shore service providers, various training activities, Emergency response Service and many more based on Augmented Reality.
Combines the real world with virtual information and provides expanded and information-rich view of the environment to the user. The AR systems have been around for a few decades and there are number of the projects under developing in maritime Industry.
Imagine, you have a failure of engine on board. Rather than trigger endless chain of e-mails with Shipmanagement Office, Makers representatives, Service Company, Agents etc, Imagine now, that Chief Engineer wear smart glasses, Maker’s Service Engineer connected to web platform and trouble shooting will be carried out in a real time allowing service engineer to see work field and equipment by his own eyes, guide Engineer directly, highlight areas to check, verify actions by crew on site. The whole process can be monitored by ship’s Technical Superintendent sitting in the Office. No travels, no hassle with immigration formalities, no delays…
Imagine, vessel is facing emergency situation and Emergency response Room is activated. All ERS team is relating to the telephone calls and e-mails from the master on certain intervals time. And now imagine, that ERS Team can see the scene by eyes of their Master wearing Smart Glasses, listen what’s going on and not imaginaiting or estimating what is going on but visualizing it, provide advices immediately, reducing response time basically to live actions, connect to the case experts, service Engineers, P&I, Class Surveyors if required…
Imagine, your vessel is trading on the ocean passages and you require to conduct Navigation Assessment. Currently, you need to find the option to send Vessel’s Marine Superintendent to fly across the world, wait the vessel few days in the hotel, use expensive launch boat to reach the vessel and sail with her few days or even weeks to conduct the task. Costs, costs, costs… And now imagine, that 2nd Officer wear Smart Glass and vessel’s Marine Superintendent connected via SEAHARMONY Platform and conduct Navigation Assessment without leaving the office checking in a live actions during passage, checking passage plans and checklists just by guiding responsible Officer, asking the questions, highlighting concerned areas. The whole process can be documented, recorded snapshooted etc, etc…
