OrbitMI has introduced an upgraded version of its platform, which is designed to streamline the process of ship-to-shore reporting in the maritime industry.
According to OrbitMI CEO Ali Riaz, new environmental regulations have increased the need for high-quality and consistent data to improve decision-making processes related to operational efficiency and emission reduction.
Currently, manual methods for ship reporting present several challenges, including the potential for errors, delays in data submission, and added workload for crews.
Noon reporting, a common practice in the industry, can be a time-consuming task. Crews often need to generate multiple reports for different stakeholders, which increases the likelihood of errors when information is manually copied across systems. The lack of a standard format for noon reports results in inconsistencies across the industry, making it difficult to gather comprehensive data on voyage performance, fuel consumption, and emissions.
The updated platform addresses these issues by automating key aspects of the reporting process, including data collection, validation, and distribution. By combining sensor data with manual reports, the platform provides a more complete view of vessel operations and reduces the need for manual data entry.
As explained, the platform incorporates tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and correct errors in real time. It also contextualizes data by considering external factors, such as weather conditions, to ensure accurate validation.
