You already have automation on board
Existing PLCs, instruments and networks can be reused. We assess what fits and integrate it without replacing what works.
Custom projects
Custom projects, from engineering to software
When the challenge is specific, the solution has to be too. We design, supply, install and maintain measurement and supervision systems tailored to your vessel and your operation.
When it makes sense
When a custom project is the right path
Your operation has its own rules
Contractual consumption, charterer KPIs, tolerance limits or specific reports that a generic product doesn't cover.
The data has to reach shore
Integration with ERP, fleet management, BI or charterer systems, with a clear data contract.
Newbuild, refit or drydock
The best moment to plan measurement and supervision is before the cables are pulled. We join the project from the start.
What we develop
Everything your project needs, in a single team
PLC and automation integration
Signal map, approved protocol and read-only access, together with your PLC integrator.
Instrumentation and field work
Selection and supply of sensors and meters, panels, industrial network and the onboard computer.
Screens and indicators
HMI and portal configured for your routine, with the indicators your operation actually uses.
Rules, alerts and limits
Tolerances and criteria defined with your technical team, versioned and with an audit trail.
Reports and integrations
Automatic reports, exports and an API for your shore systems.
New sensors and protocols
Adapters for what isn't on the platform yet, without creating a parallel version of the product.
How we run it
An engineering method, from survey to support
Scope, acceptance criteria and schedule agreed before you commit. No surprises along the way.
01
Onboard survey
Inventory of equipment, circuits, sensors and automation, with the vessel's documents, such as the capacity plan.
02
Specification and proposal
Measurement points, architecture, acceptance criteria and schedule. The scope is closed before contracting.
03
Engineering and supply
Instruments, panels, network and onboard computer; signal map and configuration with the PLC integrator.
04
Software and factory tests
Platform configuration, screens, reports and integrations, tested with simulated data before going on board (FAT).
05
Installation and commissioning
Electrical, mechanical and network installation, calibration, onboard acceptance tests (SAT) and crew training.
06
Assisted operation and support
As-built documentation, backup, updates and support. The system evolves with your operation.
Tailored screens
From the signal map to the charterer's report
The project starts at the measurement points and ends in the screens and reports your operation actually uses — in the format of your contract, not of a generic product.

What you receive
- Specification and acceptance criteria approved before execution
- Factory and onboard test reports (FAT/SAT)
- Training for the crew and the shore team
- As-built documentation and signal map
- Backup, updates and technical support
- Screens and reports in Portuguese, English and Spanish
Example scope
Fuel management for an offshore support vessel
Two main engines and two auxiliaries, service and cargo tanks, and the requirement to show inventory and consumption in real time on board and ashore.
- Level and temperature radar in every tank, with sounding tables and trim and heel correction
- Supply and return flow meters for the net consumption of every engine
- Continuous mass balance and reconciliation of bunkering and deliveries
- HMI in the engine room and on the bridge, shore portal and mobile
- Speed, trim and power load suggestions, with no automatic actuation
Illustrative scope based on a real requirement, without identifying the client. Every project is sized after the onboard survey.
