Knowledge is Power.

Knowledge applied intelligently is a powerful business tool. Krill Systems technology helps operations acquire critical vessel data and apply this knowledge in five important ways.

Five Steps To Optimum Efficiency

Expense Control

Following labor, fuel is the primary operational cost of most commercial vessels. By closely monitoring real-time fuel consumption, engine operation and other vital system data, small adjustments can be made that lead to substantial savings. As fuel prices edge ever higher, so do the potential savings that Krill Systems will deliver.

Data Collection

With Ethernet and NMEA 2000 busses connected to Krill Systems' Black Box Processor, you can monitor "vital signs" throughout the vessel, including fuel flow, engine sensors, weather stations, compass heading, GPS position, vessel speed, water depth/temperature and more.

Data Recording

Industry standard Microsoft SQL Server database technology records all incoming data with two-second resolution for up to twelve months. Graphically displayed, this historical sensor data can help crews detect small problems before they become large, costly ones. Even minor fluctuations such as increased bilge pump activity or slowly deteriorating functions like obstructed fuel or coolant flow can't escape Krill Systems' watchful eye.

Data Transmission

Real time data on fuel consumption, vessel operation and vital signs can be transmitted to land offices via cellular or satellite access supporting standard SMTP email protocols. If the connection goes down, Krill Systems will continue to collect data and will automatically resume email transmission once communications are restored.

Data Analysis

Vessel operations and systems data reports are presented in Excel comma separated value (CSV) format spreadsheets for easy review and analysis. For the first time, the corporate office can receive vital information as soon as a voyage is completed. These reports can be used to determine operating costs, verify fuel consumption and emissions compliance, schedule necessary preventative maintenance and provide irrefutable backup data in the event of collision / spill / incident investigations.
