SYNOPSIS

In this era of I.R 4.0, we are observing a significant shift in the dependance of I.T based solutions in our everyday routines, from online banking transactions or to just simply relaxing at home after a hard’s day work listening to music on Spotify or watching Netflix. Its no different in the marine industry. On board vessels for example, bridges and control rooms are more sophisticated in managing the everyday voyages. Complex machineries are started using the click of a mouse instead of the traditional push buttons. What are CBM and AI technologies? What’s their definitions and characteristics? How would this impact the operator’s decision in maintenance operations and planning? Can AI or CBM help the operator in saving long term costs and if so, how? The speaker hopes to address these factors in a holistic manner by making comparisons, stating the advantages and disadvantages between the two without prejudice, providing more questions rather than answers. Which solution is better? The choice is yours.
