What is marine automation?
Marine Automation
Marine automation refers to the use of advanced technologies and systems to automate various processes and tasks on board ships and other marine vessels. These automation systems are designed to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability while reducing the workload for the crew.
24/7 Operations
Automation allows certain systems to operate continuously, even when the crew is resting, enabling around-the-clock operations.
1
Engine Control Systems
Marine automation involves automating the operation and monitoring of ship engines. This includes controlling engine speed, power output, and fuel consumption, as well as monitoring engine health and performance.
2
Navigation Systems
Automated navigation systems help ships to follow predefined routes, maintain a steady course, and avoid collisions. These systems may include GPS, radar, sonar, and other sensors for positioning and obstacle detection.

Power Management Systems
Marine vessels have complex power systems that need to efficiently manage power generation, distribution, and consumption. Automation optimizes power usage and ensures a stable power supply to essential systems.
