A platform for the digital management, comparative analysis, and recommendation generation of ship and pool water chemistry analyses.

Abstract

This invention is a platform for digitally collecting, storing, and comparatively analyzing test data from ship and pool water chemistry analyses, and generating recommendations based on parameter target ranges. The platform stores parameter records (pH, nitrite, chloride, hardness, alkalinity, etc.) entered via user terminals or obtained from measuring devices, associating them with water type / system / location / time information, in a central database. The processing and decision-support module verifies the records, generates trend analysis and periodic comparisons, produces alerts in case of out-of-limit situations, and provides chemical dosage or operational action recommendations based on system volume and target ranges. This supports traceability, standardized reporting, early risk detection, and accurate intervention for circuits in different locations.

1 DEFINITION Invention Title: Digital management, comparative analysis, and development of ship and pool water chemistry analyses. A platform for generating proposals. 1. Technical Area This invention is used in water chemistry in ships and closed-loop water systems such as pools / spa rooms. Digital collection, verification, and centralized management of test results related to analyses. storage, periodic and cross-asset comparative analysis, and according to target ranges. It relates to a platform for generating recommendations / action outputs. 2. State of the Art In the known state of the art, water chemistry tests are mostly performed using manual measurement and recording methods. 10 The process is ongoing, and the results are scattered across emails, Excel spreadsheets, notebooks, or other software. This situation can occur if: (i) the records are not standardized, (ii) the same parameter is used differently. (iii) reporting in units / formats, (iv) late detection of trends and deviations, ship-to-ship or (v) delayed in cases of out-of-limit situations, in practice pool-to-pool comparisons cannot be made. This leads to problems such as intervention. In current practices, dosage decisions are often made based on 15 This is based on experience; system volume, target ranges and past trends together. It is not always possible to evaluate which kit / lot or device was used for the measurement. Traceability decreases when the information that it was done cannot be associated with the record. 3. Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the invention is to organize water chemistry test data on a single platform according to a standard scheme of 20. recording, increasing traceability on a water circuit and asset (ship / dock) basis, and The aim is to generate early warning / recommendation outputs through comparative analysis. Within this scope... The platform includes: (i) data collection and verification, (ii) centralized data storage, (iii) trend and benchmarking analysis, (iv) (v) rapid visibility of out-of-limit records and dosage or operational action according to target ranges. It performs the functions of generating suggestions in an integrated manner. 25 4.

Brief Description of the Invention The invention consists of at least one user terminal (1), one communication module (2), and one server / processing unit. (3) is a digital platform that includes a database (4) and an analysis-decision support module (5). The platform displays water chemistry data entered by the user or obtained from measuring devices. 35 It records parameter data along with water type and circuit information; compares them with target ranges; It generates trend and benchmark analyses; creates alerts in case of out-of-limit situations and uses defined rules / calculations. It provides recommendations / action outputs accordingly. 6. Detailed Description of the Invention 6.1. System components 40 (1) User terminal: The interface that runs on a mobile device or computer. The user; Asset selection (ship / dock), water type and circuit selection (e.g. main engine coolant, boiler water, Measurement parameters (e.g., pH, nitrite, chloride, hardness, alkalinity, pool balance, etc.) along with other parameters. (conductivity, phosphate, etc.) inputs or is received from the connected measuring device. (2) Communication module: Data transfer between user terminal and server / processing unit 45 2 This ensures that in offline scenarios, recordings are added to the local queue and synchronized when a connection is established. It is done. (3) Server / processing unit: Verifies incoming records, performs unit conversions, and processes data. It checks the integrity and runs the analysis / decision support module. (4) Database: Test records; entity ID, water type / circuit, date-time, user, measurement 5 It stores method / device information, notes, and attachments (e.g., photos). This allows for traceability and recovery. Directive control is provided. (5) Analysis and decision-support module: Compares parameters with target ranges, trends It generates analysis, creates warnings in case of out-of-limit situations, and provides recommendations / action outputs according to defined rules. It generates recommendations. Recommendation generation is done using rule-based calculations and / or statistical / learning models. 10 supportable. 6.2. Data model and record scheme Each test log on the platform must include at least (i) entity information (ship name / IMO number or pool). (i) identity, (ii) system / circuit information, (iii) water type, (iv) date-time, (v) parameter name-value-unit, (vi) It includes the measurement method / device information and (vii) user information fields. The platform is composed of 15 different sources. It normalizes the incoming data into a common unit and format. Thus, periodic data for the same parameter. Comparisons and interreferences between entities can be made reliably. 6.3. Comparative analysis and reporting The reporting component displays parameter trends for selected time windows (e.g., 7 / 14 / 30 / 60 / 90 days). It generates statistics such as mean / median / deviation and comparison tables between entities. The platform; the same 20 By comparing water types and similar circuits, unusual deviations (e.g., rapidly falling water) can be identified. Inhibitor levels can indicate rising chloride or hardness. 6.4. Generating warnings and suggestions The platform detects when parameters fall outside the target range or trend-based anomalies are identified. In this case, it generates an alert. Alerts can be displayed in the user interface, via email notification, or within the application. It can be presented as an internal notification. Within the scope of suggestion generation, the platform considers system volume, target ranges, Chemical dosage or operational action taking into account current values ​​and historical trend information. suggestions It creates, for example, the amount of chemical required to raise the inhibitor level to the target range. The circuit size and target increase are calculated accordingly; partial reduction of 30% is required for certain parameters. Actions such as draining / renovation may be suggested. For each suggestion generated, the supporting parameters are: The target ranges and calculation inputs used are recorded to ensure auditability. 7.
