Introducing LOOP

Operator-grade AI.
Built for the floor.

LOOP is an AI assistant built for engine rooms, power plants, and industrial operations. Ask it anything about your machinery — it answers from your own rounds history and equipment manuals, even completely offline.

LOOP

● Online · Vessel data loaded

Chief Engineer
Main engine lube oil temp has been creeping up over the last week. What should I check first?
LOOP
Based on your rounds data: ME lube oil temp has risen from 68°C to 74°C over 9 days — a gradual drift, not a spike.

Likely causes in this pattern:
1. Lube oil cooler fouling (most common for this drift rate)
2. Sea water flow restriction to the cooler
3. Lube oil quality degradation (your last oil change was 42 days ago)

I'd suggest checking the cooler differential pressure first, then sea chest strainer condition. Your maintenance record shows the cooler was last cleaned 187 days ago — manufacturer spec is 180 days.
Chief Engineer
What was the last time we had a similar issue?
LOOP
March 2025 — ME lube oil temp rose from 66°C to 72°C over 12 days. Chief Engineer [C. Santos] found fouled cooler tubes during inspection. Cleaned and reinstated, temp normalized within 24 hours. No parts required.
What LOOP Does

An AI that actually knows your vessel

LOOP isn't a generic chatbot. It's trained on your vessel's own rounds history, work orders, and equipment documentation — so its answers are specific, grounded, and useful.

📊

Reads your rounds data

LOOP can access and reason over your complete rounds history. Ask it about any reading, any trend, any period.

📚

Knows your manuals

Upload equipment manuals and maintenance schedules. LOOP references them when answering — and tells you which section.

📡

Fully offline

No internet required. LOOP runs locally on the vessel. Works in the middle of the Pacific the same as in port.

🔍

Shows you the page

Answers are drawn from your own rounds history and manuals, with sources shown where they apply. Ask from a tablet and passages from the ship's library come back tagged with document and page, and the tag opens the scanned page. It is instructed rather than enforced, so check the page before you act on it.

📋

Surfaces history automatically

Ask "when did we last see this?" and LOOP retrieves the exact record — without anyone having to dig through binders.

🎤

Voice or text input

In the engine room, hands are busy. Ask LOOP a question by voice — it transcribes and responds immediately.

LOOP is field-tested on active vessels. Data stays on your ship — no uploads to external servers, no cloud dependencies, no latency.

Not another AI chatbot

Generic AI assistants give generic answers. LOOP gives answers grounded in your vessel's actual data.

Generic AI / Internet Search

  • Answers based on general training data, not your vessel
  • Requires internet connection
  • Can't see your rounds history or work orders
  • Doesn't know when your last maintenance was done
  • Can hallucinate confident-sounding wrong answers
  • Not useful for troubleshooting a specific engine

LOOP

  • Answers from your vessel's own data and manuals
  • 100% offline — works anywhere
  • Has full access to your rounds history
  • Knows exactly when your last maintenance was
  • Cites every source — no blind assertions
  • Specific to your machinery, your readings, your patterns
Use Cases

What crews actually use LOOP for

LOOP is designed for the practical questions that come up during a watch — not abstract knowledge tests.

🔧

Troubleshooting guidance

Describe a symptom and LOOP walks through the most likely causes in order of probability, cross-referenced with your vessel's maintenance history.

"Purifier is vibrating more than usual. What should I check?"
📈

Trend interpretation

Ask LOOP to interpret what a trend in your rounds data means — whether it's normal variation or a developing issue worth investigating.

"Main engine exhaust temp on cylinder 4 has been 15°C higher than the others for 3 weeks. Is that a concern?"
🗓️

Maintenance history lookup

Find any maintenance record instantly without digging through binders. LOOP retrieves the exact job card, date, who did it, and what was found.

"When did we last service the No. 2 generator and what did that job find?"
🔄

Crew change briefings

New crew can ask LOOP "what should I know about this engine room?" and get a summary of open items, current watch points, and recent exceptions.

"Summarize what the outgoing watch was monitoring and any open work orders."
📖

Manual lookups

Instead of hunting through PDF manuals, ask LOOP. It finds the relevant section and summarizes the procedure in plain language.

"What's the procedure for overriding the fuel injection pump on the MAN B&W S60ME?"
On the vessel, every day

The part that runs the department

Asking questions is the smallest thing LOOP does. Most of the day it is moving worklists, logging completed jobs and sending the paperwork out — over the ship's own mail account, from a hub PC in the engine control room. Every item below was verified against the shipboard source before it was written here, and each carries what it depends on.

📧

Worklists you run from your inbox

Mail the hub and it sends back every open item across the ship's worklists, each row numbered. Reply to that mail to complete, postpone, reactivate, delete, re-word, add or move items — edit the table rows in place, or type lines that quote the numbers. Items raised this way go through the same admin approval as items raised on a tablet.

"complete: 1,2,5"  ·  "Move #105 to In Port Worklist"

Needs the hub PC running with email ingestion switched on and a mail account configured — it ships off by default — and your address on the hub's trusted-contact list.

🗂️

A work log that answers "who did that, and when"

Completed work is kept on the vessel as a table: the job, the worklist it came from, the machine, the name recorded by whoever closed it, when, and any note or photo. It replicates between the tablets and the hub, and you can ask for it by email and narrow it to one person or one machine, or group it by equipment. The print layout is built to not waste paper.

Same email prerequisites as above. A job closed from the wall display or by an email reply records that channel rather than a crew member's name.

📨

Round summaries that send themselves

Finish a round on the tablet and the hub builds the summary and mails it — every reading with its change since it was last taken, anything out of limits, the watchkeeper's notes and photos, and a trends chart. Give a round a recipient list once in the round builder and nobody has to remember again. Rounds set up for it also print a copy on completion.

The hub PC builds and sends it, not the tablet, so the hub has to be running. Sending needs the mail account configured; printing needs the printer reachable from the hub.

📋

The engine log sheet, filled from the round you already took

LOOP reproduces the vessel's own engine logbook sheet (Form 629) and fills it from readings the crew already entered. About 230 of its roughly 425 boxes are wired to an element in the duty round, the noon numbers or the daily soundings — 22 of those worked out from other readings rather than read directly. The rest, including the cylinder temperature bands, turbochargers and bearing temperatures, are not collected by the rounds and come out blank.

It is a view of your own data, not an official record and not offered as one. Check it against your entries before you lean on it.

🖥️

A board on the engine room wall

A Raspberry Pi drives a TV showing a page the hub renders: worklists, alerts, round status, metrics, a crew notice board, a clock on ship's time rather than the PC's, and trend charts drawn from recorded readings with the alarm setpoint off the round template. The layout is arranged by an admin. You can put a question to LOOP from the display itself.

The Pi renders nothing on its own — it is a browser pointed at the hub, so the board is live only while the hub is up. Questions asked at the display do not reach the manual library; that path is the tablet.
