Kaiko Systems unveils KAI, a comprehensive maritime AI agent
(Posted on 12/09/24)
Kaiko Systems is set to revolutionise vessel health management and operations with the launch of KAI, a comprehensive maritime AI agent, supercharging productivity of technical management teams.
As the industry increasingly harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI), Kaiko Systems has answered the demands of clients and introduced KAI to support technical superintendents (TSIs), marine superintendents, and vetting managers.
Though superintendents are among the most valuable resources in shipping, they spend up to 65-75% of their time on tasks that don’t make use of their expertise. KAI is primed to reduce workloads and also increase the reliability of maintenance decisions by enhancing image quality and detecting issues early on, including corrosion, ultimately improving fleet performance and safety.
Vessel maintenance, especially when managed remotely, presents numerous challenges. Crew members often send reports and pictures to document hull and equipment conditions, but around 60% of these images are said to be difficult to interpret, leading to hours of email correspondence or uninformed decisions.
As of September 2024, companies used Kaiko Systems to send a staggering two million pictures from ship to shore for vessel health management. However, the main issue has been that camera algorithms are optimised for selfies and general scenes, which are ineffective in the specific lighting environments on vessels.
"Superintendents can only be in one place at a time, and check one data point at a time, but KAI can assess hundreds of images simultaneously, providing AI-driven feedback and summaries on vessel health. KAI provides superintendents with the data and insights they need to make informed decisions quickly, freeing them from time-consuming manual processes and allowing them to focus on making strategic decisions rather than getting bogged down in data analysis,” explained Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder & CEO, Kaiko Systems.
“KAI is more than a feature, he is a diligent team member, fully aware of every ship in the fleet.”
KAI enhances fleet management using several advanced capabilities: KAI Analysis, KAI Sight, KAI Corrosion, KAI Control, and KAI Chat.
KAI Sight enhances image clarity for better maintenance decisions, making vessel images easy to interpret by reassembling and restoring their quality. With KAI Analysis, hundreds of images per hour are assessed, providing accurate and comprehensive data, and automatic suggestions on next steps, while KAI Corrosion detects and measures corrosion, aiding in early detection and maintenance planning and significantly reducing the risk of undetected issues.
