Automation and Control

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

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 mobile terminals everywhere on board
Cost-effectiveness and investment protection through proven, globally available SIMATIC S7 components
Scalable monitoring system for vessels of any size
Fast troubleshooting, thanks to integrated self-testing system
Spare parts available worldwide

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

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

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 onboard power supply. IPMS, Siemens Energy’s integrated automation system monitors and controls all the power modules, from the diesel engine and gas turbine to the transmission and pumps right through to the exhaust system, including ancillary modules such as fuel supply, ventilation, and fire alarm systems. Its integrated energy management capability ensures reliable power supply and energy distribution in every situation.

Your advantages with IPMS

IPMS controls and monitors all electrically powered onboard systems
Modular, decentralized, and redundant system design
Based on reliable SIMATIC S7 standard components capable of withstanding shock waves
Integrated automation system is easy to operate, and supports the crew by automating routine functions
Power supply integrity maintained through integrated energy management
Integrated OBTS for training under realistic operational conditions
Optional BDCS (battle damage control system) for detecting damage and taking necessary countermeasures
