INTEGRAL COST-EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR SMART NAVIGATION OF THE VESSEL

Project description

Smart navigation takes control

Next to drones and unmanned cars, automation is taking the shipping industry by storm. Vessels of the future are already preparing for management control and navigation handled from on-ground centres. Janus Systems have already developed a system that combines software, hardware and sensors. Once installed, the JANUS® system allows the vessel to turn 'smart', relaying management or governance of the vessel to a remote operations centre via satellite. While new ships can be constructed with that innovative technology, existing vessels can also be fitted with the system, allowing managers to have full knowledge of what is happening on the ship at all times, permitting immediate intervention in cases of emergency.

Objective

Vessels of the future must undergo an important control of safety, loads, machinery, consumption, contamination, noise, etc, and this control should be possible from the ground. This means that it will be necessary to know accurately and at all times what is happening on the ship and, in turn, should have the possibility of intervening in it remotely. For this, the automation and integration of intelligent systems will be increasingly important. Based on this objective, Janus Systems has developed JANUS®, a system that combines software, hardware and sensors and that once installed on any existing vessel or under construction, makes it “Smart” and allows its management or governance (both in calm Waters and in adverse conditions) from a Remote Operation Centre via satellite. That is, a system that allows the existence of remote ships. The system consists of 8 modules that work together, integrating all aspects of safety, efficiency, environmental and navigation, according to the regulations that have already entered into force or will enter soon.
