Bachmann: making technology work for you
In terms of technological advances, the maritime sector is moving faster and faster these days. Just as you are getting used to IoT and Maritime 4.0, you now need to know about MTP, FMI, DDS and CMS.
All existing technology, used in different industries, where they have proved themselves to be reliable and cost-effective solutions. For example, MTP, Module Type Package, might not sound familiar to you yet, but it is the process automation standard, which is now being adapted for the shipbuilding industry. FMI, Functional Mock-Up Interface is used for model ex-change and Co-simulation. And DDS, Data Distribution Service, is a fast and scalable standard for industrial IoT applications.
How can Bachmann help?
Connectivity is our offer. Whatever component you consider – a separator, gearbox or generator – its interface is described according to a standard. This is like learning a different language. With our M1 system, we make it possible to use different systems. You just import and export the functionality and the graphics that you need. This flexibility is the key to its success.
For CMS, whether you need standalone or fully integrated, we have a range of products.
What are the benefits for ship owners?
Ship owners can become less hardware dependent by using standards, selecting the best equipment for the job. There’s no more discussion about extra integration costs since connectivity is covered in the standard.
Where are the benefits for shipyards?
Shipyards can specify not only the exact functionality they expect, but also how it should be implemented. By using simulators there will be fewer untested systems and less surprises. This leads to increased quality and faster deliveries.
What are the benefits for the systems integrator?
The system integrator uses the functionality of systems provided by the OEM – with no need for software changes. This reduces risks and optimises costs – a double advantage during the tendering process.
How does the OEM benefit?
The know-how of the product stays within the company – there’s no need to share details. What’s more, an OEM can focus on what they do best rather than on non-related and time-consuming topics.
