n these digital times, the average ship has a lot of computer equipment and cables on board. in recent years, various new technologies have become available and alewijnse product Manager Johan van rikxoort wondered how these could be used to create a more efficient and space-saving solution. together with a dedicated team of experts, he has developed a unique digital platform that makes multiple ship systems more easily available and visually attractive as well as making the large number of existing physical hardware obsolete. alvivi (alewijnse virtualisation & visualisation) platform acts as a central hub, centralising and integrating all ship process systems and distributing the visualisation of the data to all connected screens on board. “We are excited to be the first, and so far the only company, to offer this fully digitalised
platform to the maritime market”, explains Mr van rikxoort. “it is fast, user-friendly, and extremely reliable, resulting in maximum uptime and optimal operational performance. by bringing together multiple systems in one environment, the management and maintenance becomes much easier and more efficient.”
Committed to Dredging
the alvivi platform is already being used on board several trailing suction hopper dredgers (tshd). “for more than four years, we have worked with a leading global dredging and offshore construction company in the field of automation on board dredgers”, states Mr van rikxoort. “other smart and reliable automation systems developed in close cooperation with this dredging company are the hopper
