Guest: Ilari Lemmetty, Product Owner at Elomatic
Episode Overview: This episode of The Last Dinosaur features Ilari Lemmetty, Product Owner at Elomatic, discussing the launch of the Aura Asset Performance Management system. This AI-powered platform enhances vessel operations by providing shipowners with clean, actionable data for predictive maintenance.
Key Points:
- The Development of Aura
- "The development of Aura was a gradual process with multiple 'light bulb' moments rather than a single breakthrough."
- The shift from shipyard-driven maintenance to owner-controlled fleet optimization.
- AI in Predictive Maintenance
- "AI is not replacing human expertise but complementing it by detecting anomalies that may go unnoticed."
- AI optimizes maintenance schedules, reducing downtime and unexpected failures.
- Data Ownership and Collaboration
- "Historically, OEMs have controlled equipment data, but regulatory changes are shifting data ownership towards shipowners."
- Breaking down data silos enables more efficient fleet management.
- The Future of AI Regulation
- "Regulatory bodies are becoming more open to AI-driven predictive maintenance, provided it can be validated as effective."
- The emphasis is shifting from regulating AI development to its applications.
- Maritime as a Career Path
- "Maritime offers a dynamic international environment, providing opportunities to work with diverse cultures and cutting-edge technology."
- The industry’s digital transformation makes it an exciting time to get involved.
