Problem Statement   The owner of a high-performance Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) approached us to diagnose the cause of increased vibrations on the vessel’s port engine. Both the port and starboard engines had operated for 4000 hours since their last overhaul, and all standard engine parameters appeared normal, leaving the source of the vibration unidentified. […]

Client: Leading Container Shipping CompanyEngine: 2-Stroke, 64,000 kW Main Propulsion EngineChallenge: Undetected Engine Inefficiency Leads to higher Fuel Consumption Context A major player in the shipping industry, operating a Post-Panamax container vessel with a 64,000 kW 2-stroke main engine, approached us to implemen our VIB360 Smart Efficiency Monitoring and Analytics System. Initially, the client reported […]

Innovation The Vib360 System has pioneered a world-first solution for real-time, online peak pressure measurement. By installing a single digital peak pressure sensor on any one cylinder, the system can accurately provide peak pressure readings (in bar) for all the other cylinders on the engine.  Study 1: Qatar’s Leading Maritime and Logistics Company  Client: One […]

Problem Statement   A prominent power generation site in France encountered operational inefficiencies in one of its key turbines. The turbine began to exhibit performance issues. During a routine quarterly review, the VIB 360 system, integrated with the VibBox, which was already installed on the system detected abnormal vibration patterns. The data revealed that torsional […]

Problem Statement   A power generation facility was facing recurring mechanical failures in its steam turbine, resulting in substantial downtime and revenue loss. The turbine, crucial for energy production, frequently experienced high vibration levels and unexpected shutdowns. Initial diagnostics pointed towards excessive torsional vibrations, but the exact source of the problem remained unclear. The displacement […]

Problem Statement   A high-capacity turbine at a power generation plant was facing periodic and unexpected downtimes, severely affecting both operational efficiency and revenue generation. Symptoms such as excessive vibrations, abnormal noise, and overheating were observed, but the root cause remained elusive. Despite multiple costly manual inspections and interventions, the plant’s existing monitoring systems failed […]
