Machine running time tracking

Applications

Fuel consumption monitoring and GPS location tracking of sea or river vessels (ships, boats, dredges, fishing trawlers, etc.) allows shipowners and ship operators to reduce operation costs by minimizing idling time of fleet, preventing fuel theft and improving crew discipline.

Wagencontrol’s telematics system for sea and river watercrafts is based on accurate tools for fuel consumption measurement – DFM and DFM Marine fuel flow meters that are mounted in fuel line of main engine, auxiliary engines, diesel generators and boilers/heaters. It can also include DUT-E fuel level sensors, which are installed in fuel tanks, and MasterCAN DAC i/o modules for gathering signals from standard analog sensors of a ship/boat. The equipment supports NMEA 2000 (but also MasterCAN S7 NMEA data converter can be used for integration fuel consumption data from DFM S7 and DFM Marine S7 wireless flow meters into the NMEA 2000 ship bus), CAN J1939/S6 as well as other digital and pulse protocols.

Marine telematics system provides precise information on vessel’s position, real fuel consumption, engine operation hours in different work modes (idle, optimal, overload), possible fuel draining from tank and other necessary operation parameters. Information is gathered and analyzed by CANUp telematics gateway and sent to the web-based ORF4 telematics service, where it can be displayed on virtual dashboard and as tables and charts.

Based on data from DFM flow meters on fuel consumption by engine modes, it is possible to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere, as well as find ways to reduce the carbon footprint of watercraft vessels: limiting idle time, consumption based engine diagnostics, selection of the optimal speed, switching to biodiesel.

Using contactless reader FMSCrocodile you can speed up the installation process by simply connecting it to the wires. DFM Marine is good for measuring actual fuel consumption in line at a flow rate of up to 4 m3 / h of primary and secondary generators.

This solution ensures:

Informing by SMS or email about important events occurring with vessel, for example, fuel drain, sensor wrapping, minimum balance, etc .;
Control of actual fuel consumption;
Monitoring of important operating parameters, oil pressure, engine temperature, etc. more than 100 parameters;
Monitoring of the engine operating time in total and on “idle”, “optimal”, “overload” operating modes;
Location control by GPS.

Complex solution provides with real-time data about actual fuel consumption, engine operation modes, as well as diesel generators and boilers.

This solution ensures:

Informing by SMS or email about important events occurring with vessel, for example, fuel drain, sensor wrapping, minimum balance, etc.;
Monitoring of actual fuel consumption of main and standby generators;
Monitoring of actual fuel consumption with a large fuel consumption (from 0.02 to 4 m3 / h);
Monitoring of the engine operating time in total and on “idle”, “optimal”, “overload” operating modes;
Location control by GPS.
