Autonomous Maneuvering System
Business Outline
Development of Autonomous maneuvering system
Today, in view of the shortage of seafarers and the aging of maritime workforce, preventions of human error by improving the working environment and reducing the workload on sailors are urgent challenge.
We believes our “Autonomous maneuvering system”, realizing “better ship operation safety” and “reduction of ship crew work load”, would be solutions for such social problems.
solutions for such social problems.
- “Autonomous maneuvering system” consists of monitoring unit (Fleet Transfer), integrated maneuvering control system (MMS), and autonomous unit which is under development, and would be able to install both on new and current existing ships.
- “Autonomous menauvering system” enables to actively support human ship operation. Furthemore, as option, Instration of “Fleet Transfer” enables to enhance detailed monitoring and analyzing of your ship operations.
Autonomous functions, will be released in near future, are “automatic route planning”,“automatic watching”,“automatic berthing / unberting”,and “automatic mooring monitoring”.
Steps to realize toward realization of autonomous maneuvering system
Our company focus development on ship operating support system for years and believes on the leading position in the field of autonomous maneuvering.
