Overview
UNUM Marine is an integrated telematics and fuel monitoring solution combining high-precision flowmeters, onboard gateways with edge computing and a cloud platform to deliver engine-level fuel control and real-time performance visibility for vessels of all sizes.

What You Get with UNUM Marine

• Lower fuel costs through accurate, engine-level fuel measurement
• Improved maintenance planning based on operational data
• Reduced unplanned downtime with real-time diagnostics
• Extended asset life via early detection of anomalies
• Faster return on investment from reduced fuel losses and misuse

Key Capabilities

• Engine operation monitoring: RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature
• Fuel monitoring: instantaneous flow rate and cumulative consumption per engine/generator/boiler
• Remote diagnostics, event detection and alerts
• Genset monitoring and predictive maintenance analytics
• Vessel motion tracking: GPS, geofencing and speed (knots)
• CO2 emissions monitoring per engine and fleet-level reporting

Hardware

• CANUp telematics gateways with edge-computing functions
• Smart fuel flowmeters: DFM family, DFM Marine, LC Corio
• MasterCAN data converters and gateways for NMEA 2000 and J1939
• Onboard sensors and gateway devices for analog and digital inputs
• UNUM Cloud platform and mobile app for visualization, analytics and alerts

Applications

• Technical and auxiliary vessels: tugboats, mooring and pilot boats, firefighting and diving vessels
• River transport: dry-cargo ships, tankers, passenger vessels, tugs and pushers
• Sea transport: container vessels, tankers, passenger ships, fishing vessels, icebreakers

Vessel parameters monitored by the telematics system

• FUEL
  • Instant flow rate for propulsion engines, generators and boilers
  • Total and mode-specific fuel consumption (Idle vs Optimal)
  • Fuel temperature and tank levels
  • Remaining on-board fuel oil, lube oil and diesel volumes
• ENGINE
  • Engine hours and running time
  • Operating time in Idle and Optimal modes
  • Coolant temperature and engine oil pressure
  • Total and hourly CO2 emissions
  • Operating mode: Idle / Optimal / Overload
  • Average RPM of propulsion engines
• GENERATORS AND BOILERS
  • Power network voltage and battery voltage
  • Energy produced per liter of fuel
  • Generator phase frequency, voltage and current
  • Boiler steam and water pressure and temperatures
• DATA AND EVENTS
  • Event logging: power on/off, interference and data tampering detection
  • Operating time in event modes
  • Flow meter tampering alerts, engine overspeed, boiler overheating
  • Ship position (GPS latitude/longitude) and average speed
  • Inputs from standard and additional analog sensors
