Optipower a fixed shaft torque, thrust and power meter, developed to monitor propulsion plant performance easily and accurately

Optipower is an integrated shaft power, thrust and torque meter, that can identify and segregate where the inefficiencies are, by defining and monitoring some key performance Indicators.

Although a variety of key performance indicators can be used to improve ship performance, none is as direct, and produces such a direct correlation, as the complementary use of shaft power, torque and thrust meter, allowing the complete understanding where performance inefficiencies are.

​

​

Concrete Application ​

The Optipower is capable of measuring the Torque, Speed and Power transmitted by the propulsion shafting.

The system is ideal to measure the propulsion plant performance, therefore a tool to comply with ISO 19030 and MRV.

​

​

Market Potential

Optipower technology offers shipowners and engineers the ability to monitor the performance of their ship, particularly from the point of view of propulsion.

Optipower enables real-time, relevant KPIs to determine current efficiency and also predict when, according to trends, efficiency will decrease.

​

Being so, it is possible to optimize the schedule of ship maintenance, always ensuring that it is operating at its optimum, and increasing the competitiveness of the ship and the fleet.
