Know what’s wrong
before the vessel does.
Bearing.io is the marine-first predictive maintenance platform built for SME fleet operators — real-time NMEA 2000 telemetry, AI anomaly detection, and a clear path to DNV/ABS certification.

Platform Capabilities
Everything a fleet engineer
actually needs.
Built from the hull up for marine operators — not adapted from industrial IoT and shipped without certification.
NMEA 2000 Native
Connects directly to your vessel’s existing N2K backbone. No new sensors needed if your vessel already has an Actisense or Yacht Devices gateway. Live in under 2 hours.
Zero new hardware
Pattern-Learning Anomaly Detection
Learns what normal looks like for your specific vessel, then detects deviations days before they become failures — identifying the specific failure mode, not just “something is wrong.”
6 failure modes
Fail-Operational Onboard Intelligence
The AI runs locally on the vessel with zero internet dependency. Buffers data locally at sea, syncs to cloud at marina. Monitoring never goes dark — even offshore in a storm.
Offline-first
Multi-Vessel Fleet Dashboard
Every vessel in your fleet on one screen. Color-coded health status, predictive maintenance calendar, and exportable PDF reports formatted for classification society audits.
Fleet overview
Tiered Alert Engine
Nominal → Watch → Warning → Critical. SMS, email, and in-app delivery across independent channels. Alert fatigue suppression logic so crews stop ignoring your monitoring system.
Multi-channel
DNV/ABS Certification Path
We’re pursuing DNV CMON class notation and ABS SmartMarine recognition — the only affordable platform actively pursuing these certifications. Enables condition-based vs. fixed-interval maintenance.
Class approval
Detection Library
Six failure modes.
Detected before they happen.
Most systems tell you when something has failed. Bearing.io tells you days in advance — with the specific failure mode and confidence score.
Engine Desync
Port/starboard RPM divergence growing over time — early sign of propeller fouling or shaft drag.
Propeller Cavitation
Blade pass frequency spikes with RPM instability — detected before impeller damage occurs.
Bearing Wear
BPFI/BPFO frequency drift with increasing noise variance — the slow progression signature of bearing degradation.
Shaft Vibration
Drive shaft harmonic resonance trending toward danger threshold — misalignment or coupling wear.
High Bilge
Bilge level rising steadily over hours — hull ingress or bilge pump failure caught early.
Thermal Anomaly
EGT asymmetry correlated with coolant trends — exhaust valve degradation or cooling system faults.
How It Works
Live in under two hours.
Watching forever after.
No marine engineer required. No professional services contract. If your vessel has NMEA 2000, you can be live today.
01
Connect to Your N2K Network
Plug the Bearing.io edge gateway into your vessel’s existing NMEA 2000 backbone. The system auto-discovers your sensors and maps the vessel profile in minutes.
Compatible with Actisense W2K-1, Yacht Devices YDNU-02, and Maretron N2K gateways. No new sensors required for NMEA 2000-equipped vessels.
02
AI Learns Your Vessel
Over the first 30 days, Bearing.io learns your vessel’s baseline — what “normal” looks like at every RPM range, sea state, and operating condition.
Baseline learning runs on the edge device with no cloud dependency. The model becomes vessel-specific, dramatically reducing false positives vs. one-size-fits-all thresholds.
03
Get Alerts That Mean Something
When patterns deviate from baseline, Bearing.io tells you the failure mode, confidence level, and recommended action — via app, SMS, and email, in order of severity.
Two-layer confirmation: onboard and cloud intelligence must agree before a critical alert fires. Crews stop ignoring systems that cry wolf.
