Digitalization and Data-Driven Operations
Elomatic Marine helps shipowners get more from their vessel data and supports shipyards in building data-driven design and production workflows.
Most vessels today generate more operational data than is ever used. Most shipyards still run design and production processes where data is siloed, duplicated, or lost between phases. The gap between what is recorded and what is acted on is where efficiency and money disappear.
We help shipowners get more from their vessel data and support shipyards in building more connected, data-driven engineering workflows. What makes this work is the combination: maritime domain knowledge together with data analytics capability, so the results are relevant and actionable, not just technically correct.
Key Takeaways
- We help shipowners turn vessel operational data into concrete decisions – on fuel consumption, maintenance timing, and fleet efficiency.
- For shipyards, we integrate digital tools into design and production workflows to reduce rework, shorten project timelines, and improve data quality.
- Our work combines maritime domain expertise with data analytics capability, so findings are actionable and tied to real operational context.
- Aura APM, our asset performance management platform, gives shipowners and technical managers structured access to vessel data and maintenance workflows.
- We are actively developing data ecosystem solutions to connect ship design, production, and operations data across the vessel lifecycle.
Fleet analytics and operational data for shipowners
Are you looking to understand how your vessels are actually performing, reduce unplanned maintenance, or make better decisions on hull cleaning, fuel use, and route planning? We work with shipowners to turn raw operational data into structured insight.
Our work in this area covers:
- Fleet performance analytics: combining voyage data, machinery data, and environmental conditions to understand real-world efficiency against design targets
- Predictive maintenance: machine learning models that identify equipment degradation patterns before failure occurs, reducing emergency repairs and unplanned downtime
- Hull performance optimization: data-driven scheduling of hull cleaning based on resistance and fuel consumption trends
- Energy consumption analysis: identifying the operational and technical levers with the greatest impact on fuel use and CII rating
- KPI management and reporting: connecting vessel data to the metrics that matter for fleet management and ESG reporting
Digital engineering and data integration for shipyards
Shipyard competitiveness increasingly depends on how well data flows between design, production, procurement, and the shipowner. We help shipyards build more data-driven engineering processes: reducing rework, improving handover quality, and creating new opportunities for collaboration throughout the vessel lifecycle.
Our shipyard digitalization work includes:
- Integration of design data across engineering tools to reduce duplication and improve consistency between disciplines
- Project performance reporting: earned value management, resource allocation, and deliverables tracking through Power BI dashboards
- 3D CAD data analytics: modelling progress, weight and center of gravity development, and material consumption tracking
- Production optimization: advanced process controls, real-time monitoring, and labor and resource scheduling
- Digital transformation consulting: assessing where data-driven changes have the greatest impact and guiding implementation step by step
We act as a consultative partner throughout the process by helping clients understand where data-driven approaches genuinely create value, and implementing them in a way that fits the organization’s existing tools and ways of working.
Aura™ APM – asset performance management for technical ship management
Aura APM is our collaborative software platform for technical ship management. It gives shipowners and technical managers structured access to vessel maintenance data, equipment records, safety documentation, and dry dock planning – in one place, available to the whole team.
Aura APM features:
- Equipment data and maintenance management
- Dry dock and work permit management
- Technical document management
- Inventory and purchasing management
- Audit and non-conformance report management
- Available as cloud-native or on-premise
Through Aura, shipowner customers have Elomatic’s naval architecture, ship design, and data analysis expertise available alongside their operational data – meaning technical questions can be answered faster and with better context.
Connecting data across the ship lifecycle
There is currently no industry standard for sharing data between the tools used in ship design, construction, and operations. Data generated during design rarely flows through to the shipowner in a structured way. Operational data rarely feeds back to inform future design decisions.
We are actively developing solutions to bridge this gap, creating a connected data layer across the marine software tools used throughout the vessel lifecycle. The goal is to give shipyards and shipowners better access to each other’s data, support new collaboration models, and make the entire design-to-operations chain more efficient. If you are interested in being part of this development, we would like to hear from you.
