Naval vessels required a unified control system to manage complex onboard operations including power generation, hybrid energy sources, cargo management, and alarm systems while meeting strict maritime classification requirements. Legacy systems lacked integration between power management, cargo handling, and alarm monitoring, creating operational inefficiencies and safety risks. The absence of redundant architecture and naval-certified components prevented compliance with maritime regulations and compromised vessel reliability.

FrameworX was deployed as a comprehensive vessel management platform integrating three critical operational areas: Power Management System (PMS), Alarm Management System, and Cargo Management System. The solution provided redundant ring architecture throughout the vessel, connecting control rooms, engine rooms, and distributed control panels. Naval-certified PLCs and components ensured full compliance with maritime classification societies.
