MAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES OPEN PLATFORM FOR DIGITAL DATA
EXCHANGE
MAN Energy Solutions (MES) has launched a new digital platform
under the name mýa to enable the exchange of data in a
controlled and secure manner among participants.
The open platform will enable the integration of Original
Equipment Manufacturers' (OEM) data across the marine, power, and
energy industries, among others, amongst participating OEMs,
operators and asset owners.
MES said its goal is to create an independent, non-profit
organisation to govern mýa and promote industry collaboration
in realising the benefits of digital technology.
"Given the unique transformational challenges most
industries are facing today, the need for data integration between
OEMs, operators and asset owners is rising," said Per Hansson,
head of digital and strategy at MES.
Hansson said solution providers, such as MAN and many others,
offer digital technologies and services which allow the optimisation
of the performance of their systems using real time data and
analytics. However, vessel or plant operators work with many OEMs
and their respective platforms and are therefore often faced with a
complicated and uncoordinated view of the various equipment that
they operate and maintain.
"With the launch of mýa, we want to reduce
complexity for our customers and for other OEMs alike and to lower
the hurdles for getting payback from data. Members of mýa
will have the opportunity to access all of their digital assets via
a single interface, which integrates all their OEM data streams and
enables a complete system view," he added.
Alan Atkins, ceo of the newly founded mýa Connection
GmbH, with headquarters in Switzerland, said: "Our goal is to
develop mýa into an independent non-profit organization. Once
more companies get engaged, the organisation will eventually take
direction from its members, OEMs and equipment users alike.
"The intent of mýa is to remove friction points and
help the industry to operate more efficiently, ultimately saving
resources and moving faster towards realising the full potential of
digital technologies," he said.
Atkins added that the platform is looking for additional
founding partners to help define the direction and development of
mýa.
