U-MING Marine Taiwan partners with Ericsson on IoT fleet management platform
U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation ( U-MING ), a Taiwanese bulk carrier , is benefiting from intelligent IoT connectivity through its partnership with Ericsson .
Ericsson is partnering with Taiwanese bulk carrier , U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation ( U-MING ), to digitize its fleet performance management through intelligent Internet of Things ( IoT ) connectivity .
The resulting benefits will include increased efficiency , greater safety , reduced costs and lower environmental risks .
The new fleet performance management platform ( FPM ) will enable professionals at U-MING ’ s Operations Center to monitor the fleet ’ s operations while at sea in near real-time . This will enable actions to be taken faster to promote fleet efficiency and achieve key performance indicator targets , such as carbon footprint reduction .
The FPM implementation is already underway and is expected to be completed by the end of 2020 .
It is estimated that the new system could help achieve fuel savings of 2 % across the fleet . It will also facilitate speedier reaction times to www . intelligentcio . com INTELLIGENTCIO
