DS-SP: Transforming Maritime Maintenance with AI

Minimize Downtime. Reduce Costs. Maximize Safety.

Traditional maritime maintenance often relies on scheduled checks or reactive repairs—leaving fleets vulnerable to costly failures. In today’s demanding operations, AI-powered predictive maintenance is essential. DS-SP combines DS-Track, an Edge AI smart sensor, with the DS-Insight platform to monitor engines, shafts, and auxiliary systems in real time. By processing data at the edge, it detects anomalies like cavitation, bearing wear, or misalignment before critical damage occurs—enabling proactive, data-driven maintenance at sea.

DS-Track</span

DS-Track is an Edge AI-powered smart sensor that can be easily installed on marine equipment such as engines, propulsion shafts, gearboxes, and pumps. It continuously monitors critical parameters like vibration, temperature, and mechanical stress, processing the data locally in real time. The data is transmitted—via wired or wireless connections—to the DS-Insight platform, but most anomalies are detected directly on the sensor itself, allowing for early warnings and precise alerts before faults escalate into costly failures.
