Information Management System, K-IMS
The KONGSBERG Information Management System (K-IMS) is a suite of specialised applications built on Kognifai. K-IMS is designed to enable continuous access to data both onboard and onshore through an interactive web based solution and to provide an efficient information flow. Applications, dashboards, and tailormade fleet and process automated viewing tools can be added to the K-IMS solution in each owner’s or third-party data replication and advisor cloud environment.
The solution solves the increasing challenge that each sub-supplier needs his own data and communication infrastructure. The system unites all data logging and communication into a single, secure and maintainable solution. It gives the fleet owner control of the information flow and security. A common solution for all roles in owner and 3rd party supplier organization enables collaboration and improved decision processes.
