Rugged Marine HMI Solutions for Reliable Vessel Control
|
|
|
Reliable vessel control is essential for ensuring the safety of crew, cargo, and mission-critical operations at sea. Marine environments are harsh and unpredictable, with fluctuating power, strong vibrations, and limited visibility at night. To maintain safe and efficient operations, vessels require HMI solutions that can withstand these conditions while providing consistent control and monitoring.

Data Control and Monitoring for Marine
|
|
The GOT307-C panel PC provides reliable vessel control and monitoring even in the most challenging marine conditions. Its 7-inch WXGA display offers ultra-low 0.3-nit brightness with full 1-100% dimming for safe night-time operation, while the 1.5kV isolated 24V DC input stabilizes power under fluctuating conditions. Designed to endure 23G shocks and 0.7g vibrations, the system delivers consistent performance and durability at sea.
The system interfaces with the R.O.T. indicator and navigation sensors via RS-232/RS-485/RS-422, integrating through the communication server to provide safe and dependable vessel operations in full compliance with IEC 60945 standards. Additionally, Axiomtek’s DigiHub, featuring AxEAPI, streamlines software integration, helping customers save time and accelerate deployment.
