Seamless Sensor Synergy: Unlocking Performance Insights with Anschütz eLog

Digital logbooks serve as far more than a mere electronic substitute for conventional paper logbooks—they form a vital foundation for paperless shipping and act as versatile tools for integrating a multitude of data onboard. This capability presents the opportunity to streamline numerous processes and furnish essential insights for analytical programs.

The Anschütz eLog guarantees secure and comprehensive logbooks, simplifying a variety of documentation tasks. Moreover, it provides an array of features and integrations that enhance the collection and utilization of onboard data.

Smart Management of Onboard Data

It’s wise to digitize any onboard data, allowing for effective utilization. Onboard data may consist of sensor readings or inputs from the crew. Both types are recorded in a logbook, thereby providing context (position, circumstances, additional data).

Anschütz’s eLog empowers shipowners to effortlessly export this information in digital formats or conveniently analyze the data from shore via cloud access.

The eLog streamlines reporting and, through its integration with other systems, delivers valuable real-time voyage insights to all stakeholders by merging and transforming numerous manual data operations into a digital data chain for exchange, processing, and analysis.

Incorporating Sensor Data

The enhanced value of maritime data chains and performance evaluations arises from both the quantity and quality of the data at hand. Utilizing an electronic logbook as a data-gathering platform offers several advantages:

• First: Electronic logbooks are secure and resistant to tampering.
• Second: Pure sensor data is accompanied by situational information along with the actions and choices made by the crew, providing a comprehensive overview.

Anschütz’s eLog features user-friendly, workflow-oriented templates for manual data entry. The eLog automatically incorporates data such as position, speed, and course from navigation systems. Additional data, including performance and condition information from individual systems and sensors, can be added based on the degree of integration with bridge systems.

Data from Hoppe Marine Systems can also be incorporated. This means that tank levels, flow meter statistics, and engine data are accessible in the eLog. Besides the user-friendliness, the fusion of Hoppe’s sensor data validation with eLog’s smart workflows and plausibility checks provides extensive advantages in data quality and efficiency for customers.

eLog by Anschütz: Broadest Range of Digital Logbooks, Easy Implementation

Anschütz introduced the eLog to eliminate error-prone manual data collection with an automated, secure, digital workflow. The eLog encompasses all essential bridge and deck logbooks, engine logbooks, MARPOL record-keeping books, and sensitive log entries, such as the ship security logbook, visitor logbook, and medical log.

An intuitive user interface and templates closely mirroring traditional paper logbooks facilitate the adoption of electronic logbooks. To further ease the transition to digital logbooks, Anschütz has rolled out a clear, structured, phased implementation process. Computer-based training and dedicated shore support are also available. If needed, assistance with ISM Code adaptation is offered.

The eLog is fully compatible with diverse bridge systems and can be integrated seamlessly with systems from other manufacturers. Leading classification societies and numerous flag states recognize eLog as an equivalent to paper logbooks.
