Open initiative for digital data integration and collaboration

26th February 2020

A new digital platform that aims to facilitate the integration of original-equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs’) data across the marine, power and energy industries, has been made available.

The platform enables the exchange of data in a controlled and secure manner among participating OEMs, operators and asset owners. The goal of the initiative is to create an independent, nonprofit organisation to promote industry collaboration in realising the benefits of digital technology.

Launched by MAN Energy Solutions, the mýa platform is seen as a means of facilitating data integration between OEMs, operators and asset owners.  Members are given access to all of their digital assets via a single interface, which integrates OEM data streams and enables a complete system view. All data exchanges are subject to permissions given by the respective users and members.

As an independent organisation the platform aims to help industries to operate more efficiently, save resources and realise the full potential of digital technologies. Open to equipment providers, operators and asset owners from the shipping, power, energy and other industries, the organisation hopes to eventually take direction from its members, OEMs and equipment users.
