V-MO developed exclusively
for marine motors
To support even safer and more secure
operations, we conducted monitoring and
verification at 200 sensors, 90 equipment on
13 vessels owned by MOL for five years.
V-MO is a marine motor monitoring service
optimized for vessel’s environment.
This video explains its main features.

V-MO strongly supports
safe operation and promotes digital transformation on vessels.
To support your safe operations.
V-MO allows easy and proper
monitoring with vibration detection.
Data is automatically collected and
analyzed, making it possible to identify
abnormal parts at an early stage.
Able to manage 24 hours from the shore
and the vessel.
Early detection of abnormal signs
reduces maintenance costs.
optimized for vessel’s environment
V-MO has a vibration diagnosis technology that is optimized for vessels.
With conventional vibration sensors, it would be affected by noise and might miss vibrations originating from the motor. However, V-MO can catch vibrations from the motor by filtering the noise and realize early detection of abnormalities.
technology commonly used in onshore factories
Abnormalities that cannot be detected
by current / temperature measurement, can be detected earlier by vibration detection.
As a result of the open inspection, a gap of 0.06mm was found between the shaft and the bearing. Major damage was avoided by early response.

Abnormal parts can be identified by frequency analysis.
With our V-MO cloud application, even if you are not familiar with vibration diagnosis, you
can properly monitor equipment.
For example, if the equipment status is in the caution range in a Trend graph, you can use
the FFT function to identify where the bearing
abnormality is.

Considering the unique
vessels environment
The bearing abnormality “false brinelling” is caused by vibrations particular to vessels when the equipment is stopped. Unlike on land, in vessels environment where there is a lot of vibration, metal comes into contact with metal many times while the vessel is stopped and causes the wear. This is one of the typical damage patterns for bearings.
Inside the bearing
Vibration diagnosis can detect approx.
90% of abnormalities in rotating equipment.
Vibration, lubricating oil, electric current, and temperature are commonly used for rotating equipment in onshore factories. Among these, vibration diagnosis is known for its ability to detect various abnormalities at an early stage.

Supporting engineers’ five sense inspections
Equipment status can be accurately and objectively understood from the vessel and the shore.
Criteria which determining normal or abnormal are set by Asahi Kasei
Engineering's qualified vibration diagnostic specialists.
V-MO provides quantitative and objective information, allowing engineers to understand the
status of equipment by looking at
the screen.

Remote assistance with cloud application
V-MO consists of IoT and cloud application
Parent device and V-MO dedicated PC are installed in the engine control room,
and Wireless sensor, Relay device, and Acceleration sensor are installed in the
engine room. Installation can be done by your engineers.
Data is automatically collected and transferred to the cloud, so the same data
can be monitored from the shore.
