USV Brainbox SSO demonstrated at parade in India
? An Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) named Brainbox Smart Ship Operations (SSO) was showcased at the Indian Navy Parade on the occasion of India’s 74th Republic Day celebration. Developed through a partnership between Indian companies Tardid Technologies Pvt Ltd and Accurate Industrial Controls Pvt Ltd, Brainbox SSO is a next-gen modular control system that uses AI to independently control ships.
? Accurate Industrial Controls Pvt Ltd is Tardid’s partner for strategic market entry and technology development in the Adaptive Collision Control System for autonomous shipping. The Brainbox Smart Ship Operations is powered by the Brainbox Artificial Intelligence Platform, which was developed by Tardid Technologies based in Bangalore. The system is offered worldwide by Accurate Industrial Controls Pvt Ltd.
Brainbox SSO is a next-gen modular control system that allows ships to independently control their actions while in transit between ports. Utilizing AI, SSO is designed to help the global defense and maritime industry manage their vessels both on-board and off-board.
? Director- AI Based Solutions Accurate Industrial Controls Pvt. Ltd. Dharmesh Gala commented: “The AI of the Brainbox SSOSUITE is combining Physics with Machine Learning. This results in decisioning which factors all the governing aspects creating manoeuvres which comply the existing COLREG rules and also efficient to extended endurance. We believe that the Brainbox SSOSUITE will accelerate the Autonomous Shipping implementation that the present time frames estimated by Maritime Industry.”
The SSOSUITE is a comprehensive solution that integrates digitization and communication, and combines physics and machine learning models with a genetic control algorithm and dashboarding. It integrates smoothly with onboard systems like AIS, ARPA, radar, IPMS, engine actuation, ballast pump controls, and loadicator. The SSOSUITE is made user-friendly with Brainbox graphical configurations and is suitable for all types of maritime vessels, from assisted-manned to autonomous.
At present Brainbox SSO is being offered for Navy but it is available for commercial customers as well.
