Innovation is a key driver in the development of advanced monitoring systems for environmental and safety compliance in the marine sector and leading the way is diesel engine control and instrumentation specialists CMR Group.
With operations in Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and Africa, CMR supplies control, safety and monitoring systems, industrial sensors, pre-engineered wiring harness systems for the marine power sector, as well as the allied industries. Additionally, CMR engineers and manufactures low-voltage and medium-voltage switchboards for global offshore platforms and vessels.
Advanced capability in vessel wiring technology for marine electrical systems and marine diesel engines sees the company in the vanguard of industry leading developments such as the new Near Infrared Intelligent Sensor (NIRIS). This is a world first, ands had been developed to help the marine power sector cut engine emissions and reduce fuel consumption levels, which in turn is leading to the increased use of bio-fuels in the form of bio-diesels and quantities of biodiesel being blended into conventional diesel fuels.
The company has also been at the forefront with the development of the high performance Local Operating Panels (LOP) incorporating the Smart Innovative Monitoring System, SIMS™. These can be integrated, configured and installed for quick and easy use for marine applications, processing and displaying all user defined engine parameters, triggering local alarm outputs, updating the alarm list and storing events in the log book. Built upon modular architecture, a LOP operates with acquisition unit and Human to Machine Interface (HMI) modules. They are used for I/O, engine monitoring, controls, pumps, compressors applications and are engineered to ensure marine standards’ compliance and feature technology to manage simultaneously the functions of safety and shut down and condition monitoring, providing the vessel’s crew with a single integrated control system that’s easy to use.
CMR designs to marine classification standards for organisations including Lloyd’s Register, Det Norske Veritas, Nippon Kaiji, Bureau Veritas, Regristo Italiano Navale, Russian Register and American Bureau of Shipping. Extensive research and development resources enable the company to support the marine sector with tailor-made products engineered to specific customer requirements.
