Warning system monitors lube oil on ships
Researchers could save the world's shipping industry millions of pounds in repairs to broken down vessels after developing a computerized warning system which keeps the 'lifeblood' of a ship flowing. The Posseidon system, a new sensor-based processing unit, can continuously monitor the ship's lubricated system, allowing crews on board to predict any deterioration or contamination in the oil, anticipate problems, allowing them to take action before damage and failure occurs.
