Your window to engine insights is WiDE open

WinGDʼs Integrated Digital Expert (WiDE) platform offers comprehensive performance monitoring tools for both onboard and onshore use, by delivering business-enhancing, actionable insights from engine and vessel data.

WiDEʼs performance analysis and condition monitoring is based on a tailored digital twin model of the main engine that, combines detailed engine configuration and tuning with the specific engineʼs factory acceptance test and sea trial results. This digital twin is compared to real-time performance to identify differences and highlight opportunities to optimize the main engine 
operation and offer early warning of potential faults, malfunctions or maintenance requirements.

WiDE has received SP1 Cyber Security type approval from all relevant marine class societies, which confirms that systems are compatible with vessels constructed to meet IACS cybersecurity requirements.

WiDE has received SP0 ‘Cyber Secure Essential’ type   approval from DNV, which confirms that systems are compatible with vessels   constructed to meet IACS cybersecurity requirements. 

WiDE is available by subscription for all new WinGD engines and can be retrofitted to electronically controlled engines already in operation. 

A wider perspective on engine insights

  • Maximise visibility into fleet performance for better planning and faster response
  • Minimise unplanned downtime and improve onboard decision-making
  • Tailored performance monitoring and optimisation advice
  • Advance warning of sub-optimal running increases availability and streamlines maintenance
  • Empowers smarter and more reliable vessel operations, while delivering significant cost savings across the fleet

Case study:

WiDE and WinGD customer support

A WinGD WiDE Customer Operation Expert identified, remotely, unusual liner wall temperature fluctuations that were below the level needed to set off fault alarms. A detailed investigation commenced using using data collecting using the remote connection to evaluate all the relevant engine parameters and dependencies.

The crew were proactively contacted by WinGDʼs WiDE Customer Operation Expert and notified of a potentially leaking fuel injector on one of the cylinder units that could lead to potential scuffing. They conducted an inspection and confirmed WinGDʼs analysis. As a result, the defective fuel injector was replaced and the engine continued to operate as normal.

Customer benefits: the issue was identified and solved before any failures could occur contributing to savings in operational costs while maintaining the availability of the main engine.
