Perfect vessel management with SISHIP EcoMAIN As a ship owner or ship operator, you rely on numerous software and hardware systems to answer ever more complex challenges in your daily business.

With SISHIP EcoMAIN, you can use data from any number of systems on board in a uniform platform to make better decisions and save costs.

Collect and prepare onboard data SISHIP EcoMAIN assists you with ship management decisions by providing operating data from all relevant onboard systems and equipment on a joint data platform that can also be accessed onshore.

This allows you to compare important operating parameters across an entire fleet, and to identify and implement best practices that will significantly reduce your costs.

Energy consumption, emissions, bunkering fluids, service schedules, documentation and information management – these are just some of the processes that are typically evaluated and analyzed for optimization.

Your advantages with SISHIP EcoMAIN Increased cost efficiency Decision support for vessel management Optimization of all onboard processes Remote access – analysis of fleet data onshore Green fleet management Increased competitiveness and investment protection Control and monitoring system SISHIP IMAC The powerful and reliable SISHIP IMAC control system assumes all alarm, monitoring, and control functions.

Its particular strengths are demonstrated in its ability to be scalable and to process a high number of measuring points. SISHIP IMAC communicates with other automation systems on board and enables the integration of complex systems such as the propulsion control system or the power management system.

Integrated control system for ships The integrated monitoring, alarm, and control system SISHIP IMAC has been developed to meet the highest requirements in terms of operability, safety, and reliability.

As a monitoring system, SISHIP IMAC allows clear visualization and seamless monitoring of a large number of fully automated processes running in parallel on ships of all types and sizes.

Your advantages with SISHIP IMAC Increased efficiency for all onboard processes Simple, clear user interfaces Problem-free connection to existing IT infrastructure Security through assignment of rights for specific users or processes Remote access for data exchange diagnostics Flexible access via components Scalable monitoring system for vessels of any size Fast troubleshooting, thanks to integrated self-testing system Spare parts available worldwide Excellent onboard or land-based training With every technological advance, machinery and processes become more complex, requiring automation systems even for routine tasks.

Therefore, periodic onshore and offshore training supports your crew in preserving the highest levels of security and efficiency by maintaining a comprehensive understanding of real-life situations and how they are presented in the automation systems​.

Always close to the real thing The OBTS and LBTS training systems teach your crew how to fully exploit the potential of onboard automation solutions.

OBTS and LBTS provide training in operational situations under realistic conditions on the actual automation software – either as onboard training in regular operation, by switching between operating and training modes (OBTS), or as land-based training at special training centers (LBTS).

The hands-on trainings simulate physical processes and system behavior with mathematical models and the same automation software and HMI that the crew uses on board.

Your advantages with OBTS and LBTS Optimal onboard training of your personnel (OBTS) Comprehensive preparation of personnel for operational deployment through land-based training (LBTS) Increased safety in the event of malfunctions, thanks to training with realistic simulations Protection of people, hardware, and the environment Reduced training costs, greater cost-effectiveness Minimization of operational error rate, protection of your investments Engineering, monitoring, and control of vital subsystems A submarine is a highly complex system comprising a variety of subsystems.

Among other things, the trim, regulation, pressure, and ventilation systems must be controlled and monitored. To simplify operation and further support the operator, all systems are controlled and monitored using one central system.

Multiple tasks – and everything under control The engineering, monitoring, and control system EMCS has been developed to ensure efficient and safe operation of all vital subsystems of submarines.

EMCS combines all onboard subsystems of a submarine in a central, highly functional solution and creates the process transparency required for fast and profound decisions.

It shares the operation, control, and monitoring of all subsystems with central and local user terminals and displays all process data in real time on the monitor, affording the crew an excellent overview.

To guarantee maximum safety, plausibility checks on the crew’s inputs are carried out automatically before execution. The system factors into the verification the submarine’s prevailing operating mode, e.g. surface navigation, underwater navigation, or silent running.

In addition, the continuous monitoring of hardware and software is conducted by a wide spectrum of integrated test functions.

Your advantages with EMCS Comprehensive control and monitoring of all operating processes of your submarine Redundant data bus for maximum fail-safety and fault tolerance Highest process transparency as basis for profound decisions Reliable, standardized SIMATIC S7 automation components Fail-safe controlling and monitoring of all electrically powered onboard units Automation solutions on board navy surface vessels must safeguard the ship and crew in any operating situation, therefore unconditional system availability is just as important as excellent reliability and straightforward operation.

IPMS ensures that operations run smoothly and that system failures do not turn into a catastrophe.

Crew support for safe and reliable vessel operation Unconditional system availability is one of the primary requirements of an integrated automation system for naval surface vessels, especially when it comes to reliability of the onboar
