Easy to implement and highly configurable for diverse fleet needs
Predictive maintenance to minimize downtime and repair costs
Data-driven decision-making tools for greater operational clarity
Regulatory readiness to ensure compliance with evolving environmental and safety standards
“Nikaxu was founded on the belief that AI can unlock new levels of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability for the maritime industry,” said Jussi Niemi, CEO and founder of Nikaxu. “Our team’s long-term partnership with Elomatic ensures Aura APM becomes a benchmark for how engineering excellence and digital innovation can transform maritime. Together, we’ve invested years in development, and now, with the momentum of Aura APM’s first commercial year, we are accelerating its impact for the global maritime sector.”
