Objective
To provide accurate and real-time insights into the overall mechanical and operating condition of patrol vessel engines while tracking long-term health trends.
Challenge / Problem Context
Patrol vessel engines require maximum uptime to ensure readiness for coastline security.
Early identification of mechanical defects is critical to avoid sudden breakdowns.
Traditional methods did not provide component-level insights to optimize maintenance schedules.
Lack of centralized monitoring limited the ability to assess multiple assets effectively.
What Did We Do?
Installed an advanced prognostic and diagnostic engine monitoring system with a single non-intrusive sensor to ensure continuous engine health tracking.
Enabled early fault detection at the component level by integrating two non-invasive MPU sensors for real-time data capture.
Designed the solution to be engine agnostic, making it adaptable to all Coast Guard engines and reducing dependency on specific OEMs.
Provided remote monitoring capability for multiple patrol vessels under a single central command for strategic oversight.
Results That We Achieved
Increased engine uptime by enabling the crew to detect and address emerging defects before failure.
Accurately identified mechanical and operational conditions across different power loads, improving decision-making.
Helped extend overhaul intervals scientifically, reducing unnecessary costs and downtime.
Delivered reliable fleet-wide monitoring, resulting in acceptance and procurement approval by Coast Guard High Command.
