FTI - Fast Track to Innovation: Smart Monitoring & Control and use interactive ecosystem for improving energy efficiency and economic maintenance of medium-weight ships (SCOUT)

Country of Origin: Spain
Reference Number: RDES20180612001
Publication Date: 20 July 2018

Summary

A Spanish SME is preparing a full proposal to the Horizon 2020-Fast Track to Innovation, project Smart Monitoring & Control,use interactive ecosystem for improving energy efficiency and maintenance of ships. The company is looking for a partner with expertise in the maritime transport of passengers and cargo. The sought partner will contribute to both, SCOUT ecosystem development by providing specialised expertise in the arena and to the commercialisation strategy definition and implementation.

Description

The technology system, installable in vessels of any age, with relatively low cost of installation and maintenance, performs a thorough in depth analysis of the working conditions of the vessel and fleet. Based on the data captured a set of very advanced algorithms is applied in order to infer patterns of behaviour, both mechanical or staff, which can predict a mechanical fault or a misbehaviour.



The proposal focuses in three main lines: maintenance cost optimisation, fuel consumption reduction in operations, and fleet management optimisation. 



The partner will be fundamental in the following stages: 



• WP1: Product improvement (from TRL6 to TRL9) 

• WP2: Industrialization of production 

• WP3: Road to market and operation 

• WP4: Great scale demonstrators 

• WP5: Strategic and operational management 

• WP6: Dissemination and communication activities



The deadline for the project submission is 23 May 2019.

The deadline for EOIs in this profile is 23 April 2019.
