Solutions and products for automation and control

Better performance, efficiency, and transparency in vessel operation

Safety and efficiency have top priority for us when it comes to automating the operation of vessels. Thanks to state-of-the-art support standards, our integrated solutions for ship automation facilitate the continuous monitoring and reliable control of all relevant onboard processes. They open up new optimization potentials and help you optimize the complex operating process of vessels. Thanks to a standardized concept for the automation and operation of all technical processes, potential fault sources are eliminated. Simplified system overviews, including subsystems, provide the crew with a sound basis for decision-making under all circumstances.

Engineering, monitoring, and control of vital subsystems

A submarine is a highly complex system comprising a variety of subsystems. Among other things, the trim, regulation, pressure, and ventilation systems must be controlled and monitored. To simplify operation and further support the operator, all systems are controlled and monitored using one central system.

Multiple tasks – and everything under control

The engineering, monitoring, and control system EMCS has been developed to ensure efficient and safe operation of all vital subsystems of submarines. EMCS combines all onboard subsystems of a submarine in a central, highly functional solution and creates the process transparency required for fast and profound decisions. It shares the operation, control, and monitoring of all subsystems with central and local user terminals and displays all process data in real time on the monitor, affording the crew an excellent overview. To guarantee maximum safety, plausibility checks on the crew’s inputs are carried out automatically before execution. The system factors into the verification the submarine’s prevailing operating mode, e.g. surface navigation, underwater navigation, or silent running. In addition, the continuous monitoring of hardware and software is conducted by a wide spectrum of integrated test functions.

Integrated control system for ships

The integrated monitoring, alarm, and control system SISHIP IMAC has been developed to meet the highest requirements in terms of operability, safety, and reliability. As a monitoring system, SISHIP IMAC allows clear visualization and seamless monitoring of a large number of fully automated processes running in parallel on ships of all types and sizes. As a control system, SISHIP IMAC allows efficient controlling of these processes; it is self-monitoring and offers the highest safety standards using the most advanced technologies.
