Cooperative developed SG-3000 AMS
The SG-3000 Alarm Monitoring System (AMS) is a sophisticated marine alarm, monitoring, and automation platform jointly developed by Schneider Electric and Guang Cai Electric (GCE). Designed for modern commercial and specialized vessels, the SG-3000 provides centralized supervision of machinery, propulsion, electrical systems, and safety-critical equipment while supporting Unattended Machinery Space (UMS) operations for international and unlimited navigation routes.
Description
The SG-3000 Alarm Monitoring System is an advanced distributed automation platform developed to provide centralized monitoring and alarm management across a vessel’s machinery and operational systems. The system continuously monitors propulsion equipment, engine room machinery, auxiliary systems, electrical distribution networks, safety devices, and environmental parameters. Through its Ethernet-based communication architecture, the SG-3000 ensures fast data transmission, high reliability, and real-time visibility of vessel operations. Designed for merchant vessels and specialized ships operating under UMS requirements, the system assists crew members in maintaining safe and efficient vessel operation while reducing workload through automation and intelligent alarm management.
