about micad marine systems

At MICAD Marine Systems, information is our product, our only product. Currently, our company maintains a large manufacturing and research facility in Southern California. MICAD Marine is the world leader in providing real-time marine vessel operations information.Micad Building 

The two dominant segments of vessel operations are military and commercial. Each of these genres have specific needs for vessel information, but those specifics often coincide.

 

In Commerce, there are many different sized vessels, with many different missions; yet other owners of those vessels have a common goal to remain competitive in the worldwide business, and to increase their profits. Real-Time information provides the best foundation for corporate decisions. MICAD Marine Systems is the world's leading provider in real-time vessel information and real-time data analysis. The costs, previously associated with time delay for the transfer of information are gone.

The common thread through all of these different businesses is operational information about each vessel. The two or three largest vessel operators in the world are actively, aggressively and continuously funding many in-house programs to collect and analyze vessel operation information. They are building analytic systems within their companies that have the sole purpose of guiding their decisions to increase market share, to avoid costly mistakes, to understand their true costs of business, which lead the way to further domination of their market place and increase their competitive advantage.

In terms of achievement, these companies and organizations continue to pressure MICAD Marine to improve its products in order to maintain its lead in information system products. But in terms of global enterprise, MICAD offers these similar information systems to all marine organizations without their need to invest in the conceptual development, the hardware and software systems,and the ongoing research in order to benefit from similar systems.

MICAD Marine Systems has been fortunate enough to recognize the importance of this information, and chose to accept the challenge to create these valuable systems. Over ten years ago, MICAD began a serious effort to build vessel information collection systems, with real-time analytic modules utilizing the collected data, and integrated global network satellite systems to deliver both the data and the analytical results to central office locations around the world. MICAD is helping organizations - regardless of their size within their respective segments of the marine industry - to increase profits, and grow their competitive edge with increased efficiency and greatly reduced costs.

MICAD Marine Systems is the world leader providing real-time marine vessel information systems. Two of the current areas of focus for both military and commercial organizations are fuel management and predictive maintenance. Our research and our information products available today are operating on vessels reporting every minute about the condition and operations of vessels. No company worldwide does more than MICAD Marine Systems to provide valuable information which in turn, leads to greater profits, more competitive operations, and stronger organizations. Large fuel savings are being generated by current MICAD customers, utilizing MICAD'S real time data, each and every day. Personnel costs - both in hourly wages, and continuous mistakes are inaccurate reporting - are rapidly being diminished because of MICAD'S information.

Over the last seven years, MICAD Marine Systems has designed, built, and installed its own manufactured hardware modules (totally manufactured in the United States) on commercial hardware modules (totally manufactured in the United States) on commercial and military vessels. In seven years, no hardware repairs have been required. Our hardware pieces are durable, solid, and remain state-of-the-art. There are none better. They are totally reliable.

Likewise, no software failures have prevented continuous operation, yet software improvements and upgrades have been installed and continue to run without interruption or failure.  All MICAD Marine Systems software was totally developed within the United States.  prides itself in producing the very best in design, construction, and performance.  This proven track record assures each customer that our attention to detail means reliable, safe and continuous operation for your MICAD system.

 

Military System

In the world of military vessels, technical advancements have totally displaced manpower as a sole source for onboard work effort.  Yet, while the weapons have dramatically increased efficiency, the same advancements have not taken place in the management and operation of these new vessels.  MICAD Marine has demonstrated great cost savings through reduction of the perceived necessary manpower, higher mission readiness through continuous, more accurate, and higher quality of systems monitoring. The development of predictive maintenance tools that will further reduce delays and downtime, while increasing readiness time, and greater response capabilities are now available.

The tremendous growth of sophistication of floating weapons systems has not been matched by an equal growth in the automated capability of vessel systems readiness, monitoring, and reporting – that is, until now.

MICAD’s modular approach to its hardware design permits complete vessel monitoring and analysis on any vessel, whether the need is 50 information collection points, or our maximum of a single system as large as 25,000 collection points. MICAD’s hardware design is 100% solid state, including computer memory and information storage. The onboard data network is all Ethernet based and totally reliable.  With our proven track record of success, operational cost reduction, with an installed MICAD solution, is assured.  With our Microsoft ® computer based systems, reliability is assured.  Reliability, continuous operation, and proven robust systems are a minimum for those who choose MICAD Marine Systems.


Your future is our goal
The same ambition we started with ten years ago, and have continued to pursue, guides all of our development and channels our attention.  MICAD Marine Systems  seeks to provide the most comprehensive, most reliable, and most versatile real time information systems available for the marine industry at any and all time.

Most of the ability to collect all systems information has been developed, tested, and is currently operating onboard, performing as intended.  Enhancements in this area will increase as we further develop systems to utilize and install the most sophisticated sensors. Such sensors include, but are not limited to  accelerometers for vibration analysis, fuel quality sensors for monitoring BTU burn analysis and engine performance, propulsion performance to ensure lowest cost vessel operation, and exhaust emission sensors to ensure environmental standards and regulations for vessel operation world wide are maintained, and even exceeded.
