PBMSense® is a cloud-based (SaaS) engine performance monitoring solution developed by PBM Group to support proactive fleet management.
The solution combines sensors, software applications, artificial intelligence, advanced communications, and cloud technologies to transform engine-generated data into actionable insights for shipowners and operators.
The Challenge
Modern ship engines generate large volumes of operational data. While this data is critical for:
- optimizing fuel efficiency
- predicting maintenance needs
- improving overall operational performance
it often leads to data overload, making it difficult to extract meaningful and timely insights.
The PBMSense® Approach
PBMSense® addresses this challenge by applying PBM Group’s deep expertise in engine maintenance and control systems to data analysis.
The system uses real-time algorithms to:
- process sensor data continuously
- compare it against reference values from engine acceptance test reports (shop trial reports)
- identify only relevant deviations and anomalies
Instead of overwhelming users with raw data, PBMSense® delivers:
👉 focused, actionable insights
Key Benefits
- Improved fuel efficiency through data-driven optimization
- Predictive maintenance based on real operating conditions
- Reduced data overload by filtering non-critical information
- Enhanced operational reliability across the fleet
- Better decision-making with clear, relevant insights
Development & Next Steps
PBMSense® is currently under development in collaboration with trusted partners.
The next phase includes:
- pilot deployment with selected users
- validation in real operating environments
- refinement based on user feedback
This approach ensures a robust and practical solution aligned with real industry needs.
