Amplify Mindware: The Digital Framework for the Modern Maritime Industry



Joy Basu, CEO

Data is overwhelming and so are the industries desperately in need of being able to handle it. The rise of a concept called data-driven intelligence serves as the model for a new perspective here. Based outof Pune, Amplify Mindware is digital transformation Services Company focused mainly on the Maritime industry, Automotive & Manufacturing domain delivering the power of Automation, Cloud, Analytics and Mobility. The business focuses on various data points enabling clients to procure as much data as possible. Amplify Mindware helps organizations in predictive maintenance, predictive diagnostics, smart alerts, thereby increasing machine and human relationships in the process. The company hand holds clients through their digital journey via three steps ­ capturing accurate and maximum data, deriving intelligence out of the data and taking decisions on the acquired intelligence.

Maritime industry is a complex system that requires a quick adaptation to changing conditions and in which decision-making needs to take into account a large number of parameters. Likewise, Factories with older machines, engines, turbines, boilers, DG sets, DeSal, Air conditioning etc. are often not designed to enable inter connectivity leading to additional challenges of automating them and fetching data for the purpose of analytics. Amplify Mindware, ingrained in very large enterprises, helps such organizations move from traditional processes to analytics driven decision making. These industries have welcomed the industry 4.0 regime with utmost enthusiasm; deploying sensors and customized IoT devices. Predicting failure and any breakdown can save millions for any organization; particularly so for ship owners and operators. This is where equipment reliability, data telemetry & analytics driven intelligence with foundation in IIoT have been of great help. Amplify deploys smart sensors, transmitters, Relays etc. that enable signals from mechanical as well as electronic machines/engines to fetch data on to data logger, and finally for diagnostics & Predictive Maintenance.
Cross Industry Expertise
Having conquered the fairly unexplored industry like Maritime, Amplify Mindware now powers a disruptive digital maritime platform called Smart Ship. Smart Ship is a disruptive platform which is enabling Global Maritime companies (ship Owners, Ship Operators) to manage their Vessel Performance, Fuel, Spares, Maintenance, Voyage, Cargo and a range of Ship Management processes effectively on mobile.
