eMAX Series: A New Era for Loading Arms
At Technip Energies, our vision is to improve our clients’ user experience with marine loading arms and map the road to unmanned operations and targeted maintenance interventions.
Easier operations
- Reduction of human exposure and improvement of operations safety
- Reduction of operator training requirements
- Reduction of manning requirements
- Reduction of operations duration
- Reduction of material damage and environmental risks due to misoperation
Simpler maintenance activities
- Simplify integration on the jetty
- Log operations data, learn and improve the next one
- Detect and alert the operation team of any abnormal arm behavior
- Customize the maintenance schedule
- Assist the operation team, moving from corrective / preventive maintenance to predictive model
Electric Drives
Green: Electric drives with minimum oil and a low risk of leakage
Simple: Fewer parts, easy and fast to install (plug & play), easy to monitor and operate thanks to proportional command
OPEX Effective: Highly reliable electric components, easy troubleshooting and 30% maintenance costs savings
Monitoring Arm Status
Live Health Condition: Real-time status on web-based dashboard
Greater Visibility: Warnings on abnormal damage or fatigue issues
Lower OPEX: Switching from preventive to predictive maintenance
AutoDrive
Safety: Minimize operator exposure to risks
Visibility: Reduce human error
Duration: Connect 4 MLA down to 45 min. Disconnect 4 MLA down to 30 min.
Training: Simplify training requirements
Operators: Cut back operators from 2 to 1
X-Cross Applications
eMAX technologies are suitable for any kind of application in a wide range of loading configurations.
