TIME TO MODERNIZE
Average age of merchant, cruise and naval ships is pushing into the 20's. Where maintenance can be lengthy and complex which leads to significant delays. For example, an average full maintenance on a ship can take between 6 months to three years where the major maintenance activities are performed on the engine, piping and electrical systems. Due to the scale, sometimes, some issues are not noted and have led to electrical shorts that have caused fires or complete losses.
A TECHNOLOGY TO BRING CHANGE
UAT's Smart Interconnecting Clamping (SICC) System simplifies electrical maintenance by replacing the corrosive metal clamps used today with their corrosive-resistant smart fasteners. The clamp continuously monitors, localizes, and diagnoses faults as it guides electricians through troubleshooting process. The data collected it is then used to generate a live Digital Twin of the electrical wiring that can generate forecasts of future maintenance and give maintainers the necessarily time to order necessary parts ahead of time.
IMPACT IN THE INDUSTRY
Avoid Electrical Shorts
The sea is a harsh environment, especially for electrical systems. This can lead to worsening conditions in the event of electrical shorts. With the SICC, this can be avoided by monitoring the slow amperage leak that happens over time before a short occurs.
Predictive Maintenance
Over time, use UAT's algorithms to aid in preventive maintenance and avoid any unnecessary visits to maintenance facilities.
Reduced Operational Costs
Simplify electrical maintenance and troubleshooting. No longer would electricians need to wonder where a problem is located. UAT's technology can takes a process that takes weeks down to hours.
Minimize Delays
Eliminate delays by using UAT's system to monitors all electrical subsystems to ensure no unplanned maintenance procedure needs to happen at the end.
