System "transplantation" opens Xintiandi for ship maintenance

"After making a backup, we won't worry about the impact on the production of the tug during the system maintenance!" On May 17, the engineer "transplanted" the engine room operation monitoring system of the ship "Yonggang Xiaotuo No. 12", and the ship's Chief engineer was full of praise. The "system backup action" carried out by the shipping company on multiple tugboats this time has injected new ideas into the maintenance of equipment and facilities for tugboats without affecting port production.

The 'porting' system began with a malfunction of the tugboat. At the beginning of last year, the computer of the engine room operation monitoring system for the "Yonggang Xiaotuo 60" ship crashed, causing the engineers to be unable to monitor the operating conditions of the engine room equipment in real-time, and even unable to receive fault alarms from auxiliary equipment. After inspection, it was found that the memory module of the system specific computer was malfunctioning. Although the problem was not significant, it involved professional systems and took 3 days before and after the maintenance. "There must be a vacuum period in the safety management of the ship's engine room during the period when computers are sent for inspection and maintenance." Zhang Xiaoliang, the chief engineer of the "Yonggang Xiaotuo No. 60" ship, is always afraid of this matter.

Long term use of the computer will inevitably lead to various malfunctions. This time it has been fixed, but what if it cannot be fixed next time? "Just as the problem was solved, Zhang Xiaoliang took precautions. He had the idea of backing up the cabin operation monitoring system on other office computers. With a stubborn "bull like temperament" and years of accumulated programming knowledge from learning, Zhang Xiaoliang independently studied the software and hardware configuration of the system. He sorted out more than 300 monitoring and alarm points for various types of tugboat equipment, and logically corresponded the input information of equipment working conditions with the output data of the monitoring system, gradually exploring the methods and steps of system backup Hard work pays off to those who care. Five months later, Zhang Xiaoliang successfully backed up the cabin operation monitoring system on an office computer.

Subsequently, a wave of technology dividend sharing erupted among the numerous tugboats of the shipping company. It took three months for the company to use Zhang Xiaoliang's "backup" technology on all nine tugboats of the same type of engine room operation monitoring system. During this period, three faults that the system service provider had not previously been able to solve were also resolved. We need to master the core technology in our own hands! Now we understand both tugboat machinery equipment and the principles of monitoring systems, and solving faults is not slower than service providers, with lower maintenance costs. "said the relevant person in charge of the ship management center of the ship company.

The backup of the tugboat engine room operation monitoring system is only the beginning. Next, the marine engineers will take the first step of independently researching the engine room operation monitoring system, upgrading and transforming the "black box" of the old ship engine room operation monitoring system, and promoting the gradual transformation of old ships towards digitization and intelligence.
