During new builds and refit projects, the growing complexity of onboard systems demands structured control and reliable access to information. K-finder by Kepler responds to this need by registering each piece of equipment as a mapped Point of Interest, precisely linked to its real physical position and associated with technical documentation, manuals, certifications and maintenance plans. The result is a structured digital twin yacht management environment that mirrors the vessel’s actual configuration.
In operation, the iPad application enables crews and technicians to quickly locate any system, even when hidden behind paneling or installed in hard-to-reach spaces. Through augmented reality yacht technology, equipment positions are overlaid onto the real environment, significantly reducing search time and operational disruption. Less time spent identifying systems means more time dedicated to effective technical intervention.
K-finder also integrates yacht maintenance management software functions, including preventive maintenance planning based on time and running hours, ensuring structured scheduling and accurate recording of completed tasks. Each intervention builds a clear and traceable service history, supporting audits, vessel handovers and crew rotations.
More than a traditional PMS, K-finder connects physical localization, technical documentation and maintenance management in one integrated marine asset management platform designed to improve efficiency, quality and long-term operational control. By combining digital twin yacht management, augmented reality yacht technology and advanced maintenance planning, the platform represents a new approach to smart vessel technical management across the yachting industry.
