Implementation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in Engines in the Ship to Improve Integrated Machines and Engines Operation Control

Abstract

The development of the current monitoring system technology has undergone very rapid development so that the better monitoring function can help humans to better guarantee the performance of a system that will be observed / monitored. With the existence of monitoring technology it is expected to reduce the damage factor of the tool which of course will require very large costs, increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the system by giving feedback in real time to the system.In this study will discuss the use of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system on Vessels to Improve Engine Performance and Integrated Engine Operation Control. This refers to the conditions of the engines on a warship that have various systems equipped with their respective sensors which will then provide a value as input to the WSN system, and overall these inputs will be processed according to the specifications contained in each engine , to get the output decision that will be given as feedback to the engines to be able to increase effectiveness and efficiency and avoid damage that can occur suddenly without warning if it is not equipped with the monitoring system. The research results show that the Implementation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) on Vessel Engines to Improve Engine Performance and Engine Operation Control can be relied on reliably in combat operations so that the crew ship products can be applied in various military operations.
