OnWatch Scout chosen by North Sea Shipping

08/02/2021

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has signed a five-year OnWatch Scout Predict agreement with North Sea Shipping and the OnWatch team has already started installation and testing on the North Sea Giant in Norway.

OnWatch Scout connects installed equipment to advanced monitoring systems that continuously analyse component condition and predict maintenance needs. It detects patterns in component state or equipment behaviour that, through a combination of extensive experience, technical expertise and the application of artificial intelligence, can identify changes indicating risk of failure. Access to this information enhances the ability to maximise equipment availability, minimise unplanned downtime and plan maintenance activities more effectively, thereby increasing the operational availability of valuable ship assets.
