Tailored solutions for maritime and offshore challenges

Centralized expertise access
Crew members may not have the necessary skills to analyze complex vibration and diagnostic data, creating a need for remote analysis and expert support.
High turnover and different skill levels
Simple, portable measurement solutions are essential for onboard use, ensuring that any crew member can quickly assess asset health.
Interrupted communication with remote servers
Networks experience interruptions, requiring systems that can handle data transmission delays and function offline when needed.
Diverse asset criticality levels
Different equipment requires tailored monitoring solutions within a softeware platform. Less critical equipment can be monitored using portable tools, all integrated into the same software. For instance, propulsion systems and other key assets use MV-x online technology for monitoring.
Harsh marine environment
Corrosive saltwater conditions and hazardous environment demand ruggedized, ATEX-certified solutions for offshore platforms and drilling rigs. The EAGLE wireless sensor solution is specifically designed for Zone 0 environments, and Acoem MCT™ enables measurement scheduling based on operating conditions.

Real-time insights for better decisions

Actionable information at all times:

  • AI-driven diagnostics (Accurex AI) deliver instant insights from onboard measurements.
  • Expert reports available in NEST Vision within 24 hours, with crew members automatically notified by email once reports are published.
  • Remote and centralized diagnostics supported, with robust mechanisms to manage network interruptions and low bandwidth conditions.
  • Portable measurement solutions (FALCON, Eagle, MV-X) provide onboard personnel with instant AI-powered analysis, ensuring real-time decision-making.
