Japanese companies to enhance CBM through collaboration

摘要

Japan Engine Corporation (J-Eng), Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI) and ClassNK have partnered together to research and develop condition-based maintenance (CBM).The collaboration aims to improve main engine safety and optimisation of maintenance timing for its UE low-speed engine platform. To do this, sensors will be installed onboard an in-service vessel's main engines and steam turbines. The collected data will be analysed to determine the engine's reliability and predict the machinery's remaining useful life.By examining the vessel's performance data, the programme is seeking to enhance engine condition diagnosis accuracy, which in turn could be used to optimise management of CBM.
