Caterpillar Marine gets type approval for analytics and monitoring software

Using onboard and shore-based modules that can be configured for a single vessel or an entire fleet, the Hamburg-based company, a division of US-based Caterpillar Inc, provides Cat AI advanced predictive analytics and expert advisory services to shipowners and operators.
Cat AI is focused on increasing uptime by better maintenance planning as well as predicting and avoiding failures, and on decreasing operating costs through fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance expense, Caterpillar Marine says.  With over 40 million hours of equipment-analytics experience, Cat AI turns data into actionable information for Cat and non-Cat equipment, including diesel engines along with non-diesel engine auxiliary equipment.
