NIPPON Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), MTI Co Ltd. (MTI) and Nabtesco Corporation have jointly developed an electric diagnostic tool known as Kirari MUSE, reports Bangalore's MarineInsight.
This tool is designed to record, visualise, and analyse the operational sounds generated by a ship's engine, facilitating early detection of anomalies. On October 18, they introduced this device to the market.
Traditionally, diagnosing equipment conditions on ships or in factories has relied on listening rods made of elongated metal.
When placed on equipment such as turbines or motors, these rods can capture operational sounds without interference from ambient noise, making it possible to identify hidden irregularities.
However, listening rods have limitations because they cannot accumulate sound data for sharing with third parties.
Kirari MUSE, on the other hand, comprises an electric listening rod, a dedicated smartphone for operation, and PC software.
The electric rod possesses recording capabilities, and the PC software allows seafarers to record, analyze, and share sound data during routine inspections through charts and graphs.
The software issues an alert if the sound data deviates from the established reference data.
The dedicated smartphone serves various functions, including selecting the device under inspection, recording inspection notes, and transferring data to the software.
