Aura significantly enhances the shipping industry’s capacity to harness the power of data insight; providing a 360-degree asset performance management system

Elomatic, an international consulting and engineering company, has announced the launch of Aura, a predictive maintenance platform specifically designed for ship owners and operators. Aura provides detailed access to customizable data streams from an owner’s asset, allowing ship owners to monitor and predict their vessel’s condition.

Elomatic’s launch of Aura coincides with the maritime industry negotiating the twin challenge and opportunity presented by the energy and digital transitions. Aura’s ability to locate and analyze available data results in greater efficiencies and increased safety; enhancing decision-making capabilities by making asset management more evidence-based and straightforward.

Ilari Leinonen, Product Owner at Elomatic commented: “For decades shipping has relied upon limited, analogue asset performance management data. The goal of the Aura platform is not to introduce complex software integrations that compound already busy workloads, but to provide a tool that is easily accessible and aligns seamlessly with existing systems, with information constantly being updated with real-time tracking.

As part of the development process of Aura, Elomatic partnered with Europe’s largest private AI lab, Silo AI, now part of AMD, combining advanced AI capabilities with Elomatic’s expertise in ship design and technical analysis in the platform. Aura’s cutting-edge AI-powered functionalities include automated service planning, resource allocation, and condition monitoring, paving the way for future advancements in maritime technology, as well as APM systems.”

Peter Sarlin, Silo AI CEO & Co-Founder added: “We have collaborated with Elomatic since the spring of 2022. On this exciting journey, we’ve worked on complex R&D in maritime operations and ship maintenance. Together we have developed the Aura platform to include and enable AI capabilities. By augmenting the work of ship operators with AI-enhanced digital tools, operators can be equipped to work more efficiently, allowing them to focus on essential and more meaningful tasks.”

By combining streamlined functionalities and a simple user interface with highly customizable features, Aura provides easy and digestible data insights in a user-friendly format that improves operational efficiency for both onshore and offshore teams. The platform’s 360-degree approach to asset performance management covers all aspects of vessel operations, from emissions reduction to proactive maintenance and crew safety.

For fifty years, Elomatic has utilized its expertise to improve the maritime industry with innovative engineering solutions that drive efficiency, safety, and sustainability. In the spirit of long-term collaboration, Aura provides customers with direct access to Elomatic’s smart consultancy, design and engineering teams, offering a comprehensive partnership geared towards mutual success.
