Drive Efficiency Aboard Your Vessel

Optimize Equipment Performance and Improve Reliability

Rising energy costs. Increasing environmental regulation. Accelerating demand for larger, multi-use ships. When it comes to designing high-performance, cost-effective diesel electric vessels, today's ship builders are faced with daunting challenges. And for each new challenge you face, you must find a solution that can withstand the rigors of a marine environment.

Commercial and military vessels around the world rely on Rockwell Automation marine automation and control systems to optimize performance for ship engines, thrusters, ballast, propulsion, steering, and more. Our common shipboard architecture provides ship-wide control and visualization. Our commercial off-the-shelf technology for applications and equipment:

  • Reduces headcount onboard ships
  • Provides life-cycle, predictive, and preventive maintenance
  • Improves operational performance
  • Offers immediate global access to spare parts and support personnel
  • Extends the life of your existing assets

The results: Fleets that are more efficient. Commercial and naval operations that are more cost-effective.

Scalable Digitalization Helps Optimize Vessel Operations

Connect Onboard and Offshore Workers to Streamline Production

Do you have a long-term strategy for maximizing production? Identifying ways to help improve project timelines, reach ESG goals, and maintain HSSE processes is critical, whether you are refurbishing an existing vessel or building a new one. Adopting an end-to-end digital solution could help save millions of dollars in OpEx from startup to retirement. This is true for all types of marine vessels. Reliably connecting your process modules with staff onshore and offshore helps to improve operations. This shift towards a connected vessel also helps support a more autonomous vessel – reducing risk across the lifecycle of the ship from helping to meet sustainability goals, helping protect personnel and effectively managing cyber threats to name just a few.

Marine and Offshore Applications

Sea-going ships and some off-shore oil/gas platforms are required to be "classed" by one of the principal marine classification societies before insurance is arranged and regulatory licenses issued. The marine classification societies also perform many other inspection, certification, and auditing functions. We have over 300 specific products certified in type approvals by these societies.
