Engine Condition Monitoring

Niigata make diesel engines

The customer wanted to assess the engine condition to eliminate unplanned downtime
They wanted to save on the maintenance cost that occurs on a TOH at 12,000 running hours as per OEM

Neptunus proposed the customer for continuous engine monitoring so that they have real-time engine condition data and eliminate unplanned downtime
The customer’s onboard team, as well as their office team, can view the engine condition on a real-time basis and have full control over their engines
With the real-time engine condition monitoring, the customer has to do only the scope highlighted by the system (Cylinder-specific Injector, bearing, fuel injection pump) thus eliminating an expensive overhaul and still retain the reliability of the engine
Now, we have completed over 12 months and 6,000 running hours of continuous engine monitoring and have created a customized real-time dashboard as per customers need

With over 6,000 running hours of engine monitoring, the customer was able to eliminate one complete Top Overhaul (TOH) and saved $60,000 on spares and services.
For the major overhaul spares, as per the real-time engine condition monitoring , the cost is coming to just $1,48,000 as against $5,47,000 for a major overhaul asper OEM’s guidelines, which results in a savings of whooping 73%.
They were able to save 15 days downtime which would generate them a revenue and increase their vessel uptime.
They were able to keep a real-time track of their engine’s health by having access to it right at their office PC.
