NYK and MTI develop electronic UMS check system

NYK and the Monohakobi Technology Institute have jointly developed a Unmanned Machinery Space (UMS) check system, the first time a Japanese shipping company has developed such a system, the company said in its press release.
 
Before an engine plant and equipment are operated unattended (e.g., at night), measurements need to be made, and taking such measurements is called an “UMS check.” In a conventional UMS check, the person in charge monitors equipment by conducting a large number of checks, manually recording the collected data on paper.
 
This new electronic UMS check has been specialized for mobile devices, and NYK aims to introduce it aboard its owned vessels by the end of this year.
