Wartsila adds to its range of Genius services

Wärtsilä Genius services now include new services and updates that help customers optimize their operations and embrace digitalization

JUNE 3, 2016 — Wärtsilä has now signed several maintenance agreements that benefit from its Wärtsilä Genius services, using real-time data and analytics.

Launched in November 2015, Wärtsilä  Genius services are designed to help customers optimize their operations and take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization. The service concept is based on comprehensive optimization of customers’ business and entire installation instead of focusing on maintenance and servicing alone.

“The main concerns for all our customers are uptime and cost-efficiency, both of which have a direct impact on profitability. We are developing Wärtsilä Genius services with these concerns in mind – we want to ensure that our customers can get the most out of their assets, while operating in a safe and environmentally friendly way,” says Mikko Tepponen, Director Digitalization, Wärtsilä.

The company has been widening the range of available Genius services.

Vibration analysis keeps rotating equipment in good health

Wärtsilä Offline vibration analysis service is a new service for propulsion and other rotating equipment. This expert service analyses measurement data from the equipment to determine their condition and possible maintenance needs. With it, component defects, alignment issues and balance problems can be detected and remedied before they have a chance to cause significant damage.

“With Wärtsilä Offline vibration analysis, our customers can avoid costly downtime and enhance the reliability of their equipment. By observing and analysing the health of propulsion equipment we can help them extend the lifecycle of their assets and thereby improve their profitability,” says Mr. Tepponen.

Engine efficiency monitoring now available for dual fuel (DF) engines

The Wärtsilä Engine efficiency monitoring service is now available for dual fuel engines. With this service, customers can optimize their fuel consumption by adjusting their operations according to real-time data. The service includes expert advice on overhaul and operational pattern. By extending the service to DF engines, Wärtsilä is strengthening its strategic focus on gas-fueled engine technology. The engine efficiency monitoring service also serves as a solid foundation for developing efficiency monitoring to include a wide range of operations of a gas or DF engine operated ship or power plant.

Updated Wärtsilä Condition based maintenance (CBM) service allows daily follow-up

Wärtsilä has also updated the Wärtsilä Condition based maintenance service: the new CBM allows daily follow-up of key operational data in addition to the monthly reporting.

CBM improves the availability, reliability and performance of the customer’s installation.

The service provides essential data and insight about the state of the equipment and includes expert recommendations concerning the optimization of maintenance intervals.

With the new improvement, Wärtsilä will be able to take a more proactive role towards customers if and when needed.
