Consilium Safety Group is featured in a new article in Swedish business newspaper Dagens industri, focusing on how we are taking the next step in marine safety through AI, digital decision support and connected detection technologies.
The article highlights our long heritage in maritime safety, dating back to 1912, and how the fundamental mission remains the same, reducing risk and helping prevent accidents. Today, that mission is supported by a very different set of technologies, with fire, gas and oil mist detection installed across more than 23,000 vessels worldwide.
The next technology shift is about moving from detecting an incident to identifying risk earlier and supporting crews before a situation becomes critical. By combining traditional detection technologies with AI tools, thermal imaging, smart cameras and digital safety management systems, the ambition is to provide earlier warnings and better decision support on board.
A key part of this development is SMiG – Safety Management by Interactive Graphics. The platform brings together information from different detection technologies in real time, helping crews understand what is happening, where it is happening and what actions may be needed. By connecting technologies and automating parts of the process, the aim is to reduce stress, lower the risk of human error and improve the precision of the response.
The article also highlights the importance of usability in critical situations. Our new connected C2P fire alarm control panel has been developed with a strong focus on intuitive interaction, making it easier for operators to use under pressure. As Mikael Andersson, Head of the Fire Alarm Product Group, explains in the article, when there is a fire on board, the crew should be fighting the fire, not the screen.
Cybersecurity is another important part of the transition. As more critical information is shared digitally, systems need to meet strict international standards for secure data handling.
The article also reflects on Consilium’s broader development. Since 2020, the company has more than doubled its revenue to around SEK 3 billion through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, while continuing to increase its focus on software, AI and Intelligent Safety.
