Projects and solutions for the sector
Modernization of GDFS Essequibo
The patrol vessel GDFS Essequibo, commissioned into the British Navy in 1985 and sold to the South American country in 2001, had its control and supervision systems updated using technology from Altus products and solutions
Prediction Maintenance System
The system's implemented with our technology purpose is to monitor vibration, temperature and the rotation of the ship's gearbox bearings, which allows data to be collected to assess the stage of wear of the gearboxes online
All American Marine Hydro Fuel
The company found in Altus the technology needed to modernize the automation system of its fleet of boats and develop the first hydrogen-powered catamaran in North America and the first in the world to operate commercially
Our solutions for this industry
Advanced predictive maintenance technology
With processes that require high availability and continuous operation, the maritime industry demands investment in resources that enable efficient predictive maintenance. By using the programmable controllers from the NX series, you gain the ability to integrate equipment monitoring systems, such as vibration, temperature, and rotation sensors, to identify wear patterns and potential failures in critical machinery, such as a ship's gearboxes.
By utilizing high performance PLCs with real-time data analysis capabilities, like the products from the NX series, you can accurately predict the need for machine maintenance, preventing unscheduled downtime and reducing costs associated with emergency repairs. Furthermore, predictive maintenance increases the lifespan of onboard equipment, improves crew safety, and contributes to the vessel's efficiency.
Control and monitoring systems for safer navigation
To ensure seamless operation and full control over onboard systems, Altus PLCs play a vital role in various maritime processes. In propulsion control, these PLCs optimize performance by adjusting propeller speed and direction based on real-time navigation conditions and operational needs.
In navigation systems, our controllers automate and synchronize technologies such as GPS, radar, and AIS, ensuring greater precision, safety, and efficiency. Additionally, our products monitor and manage fuel levels in storage tanks, ensuring balanced load distribution and enhancing the stability and safety of the ship throughout its journey.
Fire control and environmental monitoring systems
Altus PLCs are also essential for environmental monitoring and fire control on ships. Our Nexto technology equips PLCs with the ability to detect and manage potential hazards such as oil spills, hazardous gases, and other environmental risks, ensuring the protection of marine ecosystems and full compliance with environmental regulations.
Our systems are equally critical for fire safety, offering early detection and triggering alarms, sprinklers, and fire suppression systems to respond quickly and effectively. This capability minimizes damage to vessels and, most importantly, ensures crew safety in emergency situations.
Enhanced protection with conformal coating for harsh environments
All Nexto controllers are treated with a conformal coating process, adding an extra layer of protection to circuit boards, connectors, and critical components against environmental hazards.
This extra layer of protection shields the products against humidity, sea spray, and chemical agents that may be present in maritime environments, acting as an effective protective barrier, preventing the corrosion of sensitive components.
This investment in durability keeps your operations running smoothly while safeguarding your technology for years to come.
