The maritime industry runs on tight schedules and massive capital. A single day of unplanned downtime for a cargo vessel isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a multi-million dollar catastrophe. For decades, the industry has relied on Planned Maintenance Systems (PMS)—a necessary, but fundamentally flawed, strategy built on calendars and run-hours.

We replace parts just in case. We perform complex servicing whether it’s needed or not. And despite this, critical failures still happen, grounding ships, delaying cargo, and putting crews at risk.

The problem? Traditional PMS is blind. It’s based on averages, not an individual vessel’s reality.

But what if your maintenance schedule wasn’t based on a calendar, but on a prediction? What if your ship could tell you exactly which component was going to fail, weeks before it happened?

This isn’t science fiction. This is the new reality of maritime operations, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The AI “Brain”: Predictive Maintenance is Here

AI-Assisted Planned Maintenance, often called Predictive Maintenance (PdM), is revolutionizing vessel upkeep. By analyzing thousands of data points in real-time—from sensor readings, vibration analysis, thermal imaging, and operational history—sophisticated AI models can detect microscopic anomalies that signal a future failure.

Instead of “replace this pump every 4,000 hours,” AI delivers actionable alerts like, “Pump 7B’s bearing signature shows a 90% probability of failure within the next 150 hours.”

The benefits are transformative:

• Eliminate Unplanned Downtime: Fix potential problems during scheduled port calls, not in the middle of the ocean.
• Slash Maintenance Costs: Stop replacing parts that are still perfectly healthy.
• Optimize Spare Parts: Only stock the parts you know you’ll need.
• Enhance Safety & Reliability: Prevent catastrophic failures before they ever have a chance to occur.

But this “AI brain” creates a new challenge. An alert on a screen in the chief engineer’s office is just data. How does a crew member find that specific pump in a complex engine room? How does a shoreside expert guide a complex repair they can’t see?

This is the crucial gap between data and action. And it’s where most digital initiatives fail.

ShipReality: Bridging the Gap from AI Alert to Action

Knowing a failure is coming is only half the battle. Winning the battle means fixing it quickly, accurately, and with minimal disruption. This requires more than just an alert; it requires visualization and connection.

This is where ShipReality transforms your maintenance operations.

We provide the “Industrial Metaverse” platform that connects your AI’s brain to your crew’s hands. We take your vessel, its systems, and your AI’s predictive data and fuse them into a high-fidelity, interactive 3D Digital Twin.

Here’s how ShipReality makes AI-assisted maintenance a practical reality:

1. Visualize the Problem Instantly

When your AI flags a component, ShipReality shows you exactly where it is. A superintendent on shore or a crew member on the bridge can instantly “teleport” to a photorealistic 3D model of the engine room, see the exact component highlighted, and access its entire maintenance history and technical data with a click.

2. Empower the “MR Connected Worker”

Our Mixed Reality (MR) solution gives your crew superpowers. A technician wearing an MR headset sees the AI data overlaid directly onto the physical equipment. They can look at a complex assembly and see step-by-step instructions, digital schematics, or safety warnings floating in space right where they need them. This dramatically reduces errors and speeds up repair times.

3. Enable True Remote Maintenance

Why fly an expert specialist across the world? With ShipReality’s 3D multi-user platform, your shoreside expert can “virtually” join the crew member in the engine room. They can see what the crew sees, circle components in 3D space, and guide the repair in real-time as if they were standing right there. It’s the ultimate remote collaboration, saving you hundreds of thousands in travel and downtime costs.

Stop Guessing. Start Predicting.

AI gives your vessel a voice. ShipReality gives it hands.

By integrating predictive AI alerts with our immersive 3D/MR platform, you are not just preventing failures; you are creating a smarter, safer, and radically more efficient fleet. You’re moving from high-cost reaction to low-cost pre-action.

Don’t let your multi-million dollar assets be managed by a calendar. The future of shipping is predictive, and it’s visible.
