Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. (WinGD) today announced it has signed an agreement with Poland-based Enamor Ltd. (Enamor), formalising an existing collaboration for the development of a new data collection and monitoring (DCM) platform for engines and associated onboard systems, which will support bunker-savings.

"This platform will allow us to fully leverage the capabilities of the WinGD Engine Diagnostic System (EDS) developed with Propulsion Analytics and provide maximum benefits for our customers," said WinGD.

WinGD notes that its EDS is designed to optimise engine performance, including fuel consumption, power, emissions, and response.

The DCM platform collects, stores, visualises, and post-processes all engine data, as well as relevant ship information and other machinery data.

The data can then be analysed by the ship owner and WinGD onshore to enhance engine and vessel operation, as well as product and service development.

"The collaboration with Enamor is the next step in our plan to lead innovation in the field of shipping digitalisation," said Dominik Schneiter, Vice President of Research & Development at WinGD.

"The DCM platform will provide engine owners and operators with an advanced tool aboard ships that collects, stores, visualises and post-processes all engine data, as well as relevant ship information and other machinery data. This comprehensive fund of data will be the foundation of our digital solution portfolio, enabling value-adding analyses and remote support. It is the starting point of a game-changing product that will provide optimum customer value."
