Data Provided by Elipse’s Solution Can Prove a Difference Between Tank Volume and Vessel Consumption, Indicating Possible Fuel Deviations
For 35 years, Estaleiro Rio Maguari has been a reference in shipbuilding in the Amazon and has deep ties to the sustainable development of the region. Located in the Icoaraci district of Belém, the company operates with a high level of automation in the construction of metal structures and naval boilers, standing out as the largest and most modern shipyard in the Amazon. In addition, it is a national leader in the manufacturing of barges and push boats.

Control of Propulsion Engines
Through the software, it is possible to monitor the flow, level, temperature, and density of fuels (water and diesel oil) in the tanks of the push boats. The engines of the propulsion system of these vessels are also monitored by E3, as well as the electrical and navigation systems. To ensure more safety for the crew, Elipse’s platform features a screen that maps the deck of the push boat, identifying, in red, the location of a fire. In addition, it triggers an alarm in case of intrusion. Finally, the solution generates reports that can be exported via Excel for trend analysis.
