The EverClean IQ robot also expands the capabilities of other potential customers, such as Marine Surveyors and Shipyards, through access to purchase this powerful inspection data platform and workflow system for their own ship inspections—all enabled by this unparalleled data collection robot.
“EverClean IQ has evolved from the EverClean service reporting tool into a complete hull inspection and change detection tool,” said Rob Howard, CGO of Greensea IQ. “This new robot makes collecting comprehensive data both more efficient and faster than current methods. EverClean IQ can now collect new data that can then be combined with data from our EverClean services or the customer’s own data to create a comprehensive hull inspection solution, transforming the decision-making process in ship repair and maintenance planning moving forward.”
As the Maritime industry moves into an era of using robotics and AI to increase their performance, lower costs and operate safer vessels the need for quality data increasingly grows to inform the algorithms driving these advances. EverClean IQ takes the next step in this data collection process and delivers a solution ready to meet today’s needs of the shipping industry, informing important decisions by providing them with the data they need, when they need it.
Inspection data collected on EverClean IQ is now capable of delivering an even more complete picture of the vessel, including coverage maps detailing cleaned sections, fouling ratings, images and high quality video of points of interest including niche areas such as sea chest or inside tunnel thrusters and ultrasonic inspection of hull plate thickness to provide key insight for making decisions on hull repairs, monitor changes and planning predictive maintenance.
Inspection data collection provides enormous value for our customers through change detection and long-term analysis of the following:
- Ship performance to hull condition relationship
- Fouling rates
- Coatings performance
- Corrosion
- Hull thickness
- Hull deformation or damage
- Hull roughness
The EverClean IQ robot will be on display on the Greensea IQ stand at SMM, in Hamburg, Germany September 3-6. Stop by stand B7.224 to learn how the EverClean service helps the world’s shipping organizations and navies operate and maintain their fleets more efficiently and safely.
