Xiamen University (XMU) launched the Ocean Join Integrated Ship Information System (OJIS) on May 13 at the first Xiamen International ITS Industry Expo 2026.
Held at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Center, the expo hosted more than 200 enterprises, universities, and research institutions from over 30 countries and regions.
The OJIS platform connects ship-to-shore data and uses artificial intelligence to provide safety alerts and decision-making support. Development of the system began in 2018, drawing on operational data from the university's Tan Kah Kee research vessel. The platform is compatible with multiple vessel types, including research, commercial, engineering, and government ships.
The platform features three core capabilities. An intelligent management module covers 10 operational areas, including equipment maintenance, procurement, and crew scheduling. A communication module manages ship-to-shore data visualization, while a control module handles task management, safety monitoring, and data analysis.
At the exhibition, it was presented through live demonstrations, expert briefings, and interactive sessions, showcasing its capabilities and application scenarios in maritime operations.
The platform is currently used on more than 40 vessels and has been included in the 2026 edition of the Intelligent Transportation Technology Innovation Results Recommended Catalog.
